So I've been light weight MIA the last few weeks. After recovering from being sick I had a ton of stuff to do at work so the gym didn't happen. I finally got off my lazy behind (ok not totally lazy) after my two week down time amounted to a two pound weight gain. Given that has not happened prior to this month I'll take it but it made me unhappy. This is my first week trying the tweaked workouts that Elizabeth gave me and they kicked my butt, Monday most of all because it was a lot of alternating weight work which takes a while for my brain to catch up to and process correctly. Over the course of the week the weight has fallen off which means the gain was solely because my behind didn't go get my sweat on. I was able to stick to my diet easily enough despite being sick so yeah even when I'm in maintenance mode I need to make the gym life my life otherwise I'll be packing the pounds back on. Which leads to a different conversation.
My body is smaller than four months ago of course and it's reshaping a bit as well. My clothes are also now too flipping big. The sweaters are beginning to look like tents and the jeans just depend on the cut but there's more room in most of them around the waist than should be allowed. No big deal right I'm sure I have some smaller ones here and turns out no I don't. I've been in the same weight class as it were for so long that I have jeans that are bigger than my current size but not a single solitary pair smaller. So I have got to start adding to the smaller girl collection just like with my workout gear and unmentionables. This may be a TMI moment so skip it if you want but I've always enjoyed my breasts even if shopping for bras could feel like I was going bankrupt. So I was a little apprehensive about going in for a new set because I was worried about how much I had shrunk. I honestly had no idea I just knew my bras were not fitting well anymore. I explain the situation to the fitter who measures me up and says yeah smaller band but no smaller cup. That seemed unlikely but I tried on the new bra and it was like I had found a new friend. I was also a little perplexed on the cup size not shifting but for the moment I'll take it. I'm down two sizes in the panty range as well so now I have all of these oversized things in that arena as well. I plan on donating the jeans and clothes that aren't too beat up. Underwear I'll dump cause yeah no but can you donate gently worn bras? The ones that I wore a lot are just going to have to be made into something else or dumped.
Last bit of information or update for today. I have totally abandoned my Polar F7 watch. It worked for like a nanosecond on Monday and then kept giving me the check the heart rate monitor error. As I have gotten smaller the thing is just glitchy as hell. My Fitbit is still on preorder so for the next month I'm just going to work out without all the tech you know like before when we didn't know those things existed or that we needed to track those things lol. Ok I think I'm done rambling for now. Gotta go update the sidebar.
Anyway how goes your fitness goals?
P.S. I keep saying I'm going to share one of my dinners and haven't done so. So here is last night's very delicious dinner. It's another meal from my trainer. Mustard Salmon, brown rice and lemon roasted asparagus.
