06/02/10: It's Tuesday but it's Hump Day!!!

So it's Wednesday - hump day...but it sure feels like Tuesday...I LOVE short weeks!

I lost another half pound yesterday.  Awesome!  I'll keep it.  The loss.  Not the pound.  The lack of the pound - that's what I'll keep.  I don't want it back.  It's not welcome here anymore!

But I think I'm headed for a plateau!  Yesterday...AFTER my workout...in which I'm lifting weights I can barely lift right now, i.e. super heavy, for me, for now,...I had barely burned as many calories as I did last week...just sitting at work.  I ended the day exactly where I needed to....but I will be curious to see what happens with today...and tomorrow...is this the start of a plateau? 

If it is...and I know it...clap my hands.

Oh dangit.

If it is...and I know it...I can kick it up a notch...and beat this plateau back with a stick.

How awesome is that!?!

We shall see what happens today and tomorrow...

If I lose another half pound tomorrow...then it's time for another set of during photos.  I think the change already is unbelievable, really, especially around the waist.  I am tempted to show the pictures of me in just a sports bra and shorts now...my waist/abs are already that improved.  I gotta see the photos first.  But someday these photos will be released.

Ok...just messin around with my activity manager for GoBe.  Looks like yesterday was just a fluke.  I burned a comparable amount of calories for my work hours yesterday and all four normal days last week (Friday was a half day and consisted of running around/swimming that was not normal...so comparing apples to apples only means only four normal days).  I also burned a comparable amount of calories last week for the same workout as I did yesterday.  Looks like not cooking dinner and instead, just doing leftovers, meant the inactivity in the kitchen was enough to bump off about 200 calories.  WOW.  Still want to see how today and tomorrow turn out...but looks like a fluke, not a plateau.

Anywho...I'm excited.  Two days in a row of loss.  I like it!  I'll take it!  I feel oh so giddy and I want to do what it takes to keep it going!

What a place to be.  Last week...frustrated...begging for changes...and unlike many other attempts in the past, I just kept going.  I ignored the lack of feedback on the scale, I ignored the lack of feedback in the measuring tape, I ignored everything and just kept going.  This week...I have feedback all around telling me that what I'm doing is working.  I don't know how long it will last but what a feeling...to know...because of all my fabulous blogger buddies...that if I just keep going...eventually, I'll get what I want!  It's because of all of you before me that I just kept going.  I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome this feels!

Yay for change!
