So my Fitness Friday post is late again this week. I did hit the gym as scheduled this week so now I'm three workouts away from 100 for the year. Much as like last year though, the vast majority of them came at the end of the year when my brain and body finally said enough damn it. I'm still learning my body and what works and what hurts and instead of just plugging along at something I'm not interested in doing I'm speaking up and making changes as needed. My trainer is helping immensely and I'm figuring out that some of my old food wasn't so bad as long as it's not a daily kind of thing. Next week it's homemade pizza time--I'll try to take a photo, actually that's tomorrow so yeah I'll try to take a photo before I slice it up. I had pot roast for Christmas and last night, I'll probably have that again tonight instead of a twice baked potato. I do like potatoes but yeah not in the mood for one today. That is something I have noticed over the last few months. Even food that I love can either feel too heavy or just not what I'm craving. Thankfully there's a lot of flexibility in the meal plan so I don't ever get too far off calorie count. Trying to balance the dairy and protein and what not is a challenge some days but it's better than it used to be. I'm not going to claim it at this point but it looks like I'm back on the losing end of things again after a week of flat weight loss. If it holds I'll be down 25 pounds since I started this whole reboot two months ago.
I did just find out that my yoga class is moving to the same time as my swim lesson so I'm going to have to figure out when to sneak it in during the week. Yoga this morning was different cause we had a new instructor for the day. I got in a good sweat which is always nice but I really liked having yoga then scooting down the stairs to swim. Ahh we'll see.
Oh and I had a doh moment at the gym this week. Remember I'd been having trouble with my heart rate monitor. The readings would be all over the place like the sensor was losing its mind. Well I was washing my hands and trying to get the sensor to read normally when the band came unhooked--again. Why this didn't occur to me before I really can't say but I have NEVER tinkered with the band ever since I bought it. I've been losing and gaining the same 10-15 pounds over the last year until recently. There is actually less of me to wrap around so I had to make the band tighter. Yeah for tangible proof of weight loss but damn that was an easy fix that had I just thought of earlier I might not have been checking out other fitness bands.
How goes the sweaty life for all of you?
