Weekly Weigh-In: Week 52

Week 52 Current Weight: 263

Pounds Lost This Week: 4

Total Weight Lost: 127 pounds

I went to the gym every day this week, except Sunday. Other than the small group thing I have on Mondays, which is mostly strength, I’m aiming for at least 30 minutes a day (45 is even better) on one of the recumbent elliptical machines they have. For the most part, I just throw on whatever show I’m currently watching and whenever the episode is done, then I’m good to go. I’m not doing anything super-intensive, but it’s an extra 150+ calories burned so it’s better than nothing. And hopefully, I’ll be able to work up from there, eventually getting to a place where I can make it a more intense workout.

My goal is to go at least 5 days a week, more if I’m feeling froggy. Here’s hoping I can stay motivated. XD

This was the last full week of the Transformation Challenge thingy at my gym, though the official last assessment for that isn’t until next weekend. I’m going to keep doing a small group training which will meet once a week (which I’ll have to miss at least one a month due to other commitments), but at least it will keep me motivated. I’m also planning to go on other days to do my own thing, assuming I don’t get lazy about it. We’ll just have to see how it goes.

Getting really frustrated with the way this whole year is going. I know I’m not being as strict with my food, but I even increased my exercise this week. So between my really low daily goal (which is well under my TDEE) and the extra workouts I should easily be losing at least a pound a week (if not more). But no… I have to struggle to drop a pound and I didn’t even manage to do that this week.

I am in a lot better shape than I was at the beginning of the year, thanks to the gym challenge, so there’s that. But weight-wise I feel like I’m wading through molasses. I mean, technically, I’m down 16 pounds since December 29th (so about 5 pounds a month). Which isn’t actually bad, but it’s soooooo slow compared to last year. And considering I still need to lose over 100 pounds, things should be moving at a bit faster rate (at least at this point). But I know, it’s not a race. Still…

Weekly Weigh-In: Week 49

Week 49 Current Weight: 269

Pounds Lost This Week: 1

Total Weight Lost: 121 pounds

I sound like a broken record, but weight loss is weird. I went to bed really late last night (after 2am) and for funsies I weighed myself right before I went to bed and was at like 272. But when I did my morning “official” weigh in (around 9a), I was 3 pounds less. I’m always heavier in the evenings, so that’s not really the weird part of it. It’s just that – it’s strange the difference in such a short period of time. Oh well… definitely not complaining.

Week 48 Current Weight: 270

Total Weight Lost: 120 pounds

Given that I spent most of last week feeling like I was starving to death, I purposefully ate way over last Friday and Saturday, which by Sunday had me up about 9 pounds. Mostly water weight, but still, it really sucked. So I’m pretty happy to have ended the week down a pound. But, I feel like I had to totally fight for it – given that I shouldn’t have even gained that much in the first place.

Pounds Lost This Week: 0 (gained 4)

Total Weight Lost: 108 pounds

Birthday week. It was a given that I’d gain a couple pounds, we ate at Olive Garden Sunday (Valentine’s/Birthday) and then last night I went to see Black Panther (awesome!!) and had a pile of chicken tenders along with cake. So like, yeah… But still, I stayed within goal 5 of 7 days (along with still working out) and yesterday morning, I was still weighing in at 278. So four pounds just because I ate food yesterday!!?

I mean… yeah, I’m in better shape than I’ve been in a long time, but not losing weight when staying (mostly) within my calorie goals and working my ass off, totally blows. I know… I lost a lot of muscle over the last year, and I’m building it back up, but still.
