Discouraging post


Average calories: 1914 
Average weight: 143 lbs
Workouts:
- Monday: dailyhiit
- Tuesday: dailyhiit yoga
- Thursday: bar weight class

Reflection: It's so hard to mark my progress. Some days I feel like I see a lot of change in my body figure. I see all sorts of new muscle lines and even get questioned if I am a crossfit trainer! What's more is when I work out and can really tell that I'm physically able to do more reps or weights. 

Then there are weeks like this one where I again seem to miraculously GAINED a pound instead if lost, feel bloated (no thanks to my period) and therefore carry lots of water weight, and just feel so limited while working out. I seriously don't know what to think any more. I can't tell if this is working or not. Do I really need to subtract MORE calories? 

I know the calories are secondary to my overall health, which I think is pretty dang good. But I've put this schedule together and would just really like to see some numerical results.

Week 6

Lowest Weight:141
Average Weight: 143

Workouts:

  • Friday/Saturday-Dance
  • Monday: Daily Hiit
  • Tuesday: Daily Hiit
  • Thursday: Daily Hiit
Reflection:
I haven't been entirely honest with myself and think I probably weighed more last week than I said. That's why I'm not putting a "lowest weight" and average weight. I think it's more realistic for watching my progress.

This is one of the best healthy weeks I think I've ever had. And I've always felt full and like the food I've been eating is rich. I may just be readjusting to old good habits because this week was super easy and enjoyable!

Week 5

Average weight: 142
Average calories: 2015
Workout:
- running
- arms

I think this was and interesting week. First, I don't really understand why I gained a pound. I really think I should have stayed the same in the scale. But I have had a bit if indigestion lately so that could be why.

This week. I was proud because I went running even when Trent didn't go. I'm also somewhat proud because I was calorie conscious while traveling. But I did slip a couple times with fast food. And I'm making excuses and sometimes even lying to myself with weight. Just got to hit the weights and the scale and the fruits and veggies. I think planning out my weekday meals should help too.

Day...what?

Oh hey...remember how I said I was going to do this everyday?

Just so you know, I didn't go off the band wagon completely. In April and May I took somewhat of a break. Fell into some busy times with adjusting to new jobs and friends. But now I'm not working as much and have the priority back in the right place.

Starting in June I started going back to the gym. But it wasn't until about two and a half weeks ago that I started caring about what I was eating. And the the weirdest thing happened...

See, I was averaging around 141 but when I started back on my goals (1750, work out four x, more lofting) I immediately gained a solid three lbs. It's been a bit of time and I think I've made my way back to 142 or so but I still found it odd.

Any who, I've decided a coue new things:
  • I care much more about muscle now.
  • Weight is secondary to shape.
  • Food nutritionist still me nemesis. I try my hardest to be. As balanced as possible but somehow I always go over on my fats.
  • I like the daily hiit, Zumba, and really wanna do a pull up.
  • I'll no longer be posting my cal due to my app. I'll post workout and weight and week reflections.
I'll post new pics tomorrow. I'm pretty happy to see some improvements. Just gonna give it time again and lots of willpower!
