GOALS:
My goals for this week November 17 throughout November 23 2013
Now remember November 23 2012 I weighed 150 lbs. So I am hoping that on November 23 2013 I will weigh in at 130 lbs maybe. But even if I am still 132 lbs (old scale) then it will be fine. That is still 18 pounds down!
Goals:
Eat 2 servings for fruits a day.
Don't eat after 7pm at night.
Change up cardio workout: try bike at gym and also do the arc climber and also maybe I can try the elliptical if I feel motivated.
I want to get down to 125 pounds to 128 pounds before I start any weight training/ strength training. As I know that I will probably gain a pound or two from it and I would rather go up from those two weights than up for where I am or even 130 lbs. I would like to be toned and trim at 130lbs or even 132 lbs but not 135 lbs or higher.
I think once I get down to 128 or 125 lbs and I am there for a month or so then I think that I will feel comfortable working on strength training you know.

On Friday November 15 2013
I went to my mom's to pick up some size 10 jeans and brought them home and they fit! I had bought a pair of size 10 skinny jeans a week or two ago and they fit really good. I actually fit in size 9 of another pair of jeans but they fit and I could get them on but they were a little tight.
it is such a great feeling when you can fit into jeans.
the size 10 jeans that I got from my mom's... Those jeans I hadn't been able to fit into them since 8 or so years ago. I remember at some point that I couldn't get them past my thighs and now I can wear them! They are tight but it is not about wearing them in public it is all about me and how I feel.
What an amazing feeling!

I met with the personal trainer, Gail M. today.
She did my assessment and measurements today. Saturday November 16 2013
I weighed in this morning
131.6 lbs// 131.6 lbs
6:45am
body fat: 26.1// 25.5
water: 54.1// 54.5
BMI: 22.4//22.4
old scale: 131 lbs 5x
Measurements with Gail
Chest: 33 inches
Right Arm (bicep): 10 inches (only does one arm)
Waist: 28 inches
Hips: 43 inches
Right Thigh: 23.5 inches (upper thigh, highest it can go is where she did it)
Waist to Hip Ratio: .65 (lower than .75 is average for my age group)
Blood Pressure: 104/69
Body Fat: 25.5 %
Total Body Water: 56.4% (33.85 liters)
Resting Heart Rate (RHR): 49
Fat Weight: 34 lbs
Lean (fat-free) weight: 98 lbs
It was a very good day! Can you believe that I am down about 18 lbs..yahoo!
I told Gail that I will go to to gym on sunday and talk to trainer there to have them show me the machines so that I can use them when I go there. another thing, I also told Gail that I will start doing strength training. but I will gain some pounds when I do that as I read that in an article.
So, what I am thinking is this...that I will maybe keep doing what I have been doing as it seems to be working for me and I am thinking that I will wait until I can get down to 125 lbs if I can or even 128 lbs or something similar to that.
I read an ariticle that Gail gave me about how this woman incorporated strength training and weights into her workout, but her clothes fit but the scale went up a few pounds.
AND Gail did tell me that she wished that I didn't weigh myself everyday. I told her why I did it but she wants me to feel the weightloss difference with my clothes and not the scale because once you do the weights and strength training then you will be dropping inches and it will be a bigger change.
I mean I do plan on upping my cardio intensity. Gail suggested that I use the bike at the gym and recumbent bike if they have one. And arc climber still and I might try elipitical if it works for me. also, suggested intervals. (go fast, go slow, go fast, go slow, etc)
Want to eat more fruits and veggies. If I could eat 2 fruits a day and try to eat more veggies too.
I think I will take baby steps you know.
I want to go to the gym and try the bike and or arc climber and
when stretching hold the stretch for 20 seconds.

Sunday November 10 2013
131.6 lbs new scale
130 lbs 2x
131 lbs 2x old
Got my size 10 skinny jeans at Walmart hooksett nh on Saturday November 9 2013... Love that they fit. I even fit into no boundaries size 9 jeans!! Love it!!!!
Saturday, November 9, 2013
Saturday November 9 2013 Was a great day for me! When I tried on my size 12 medium jeans at home I was able to pull them down past my bum with the jeans still buttoned and zipped and that is a great feeling!
So I wanted to try on a smaller pair and not so much buy them. So Richard and I went to Walmart Hooksett on Saturday November 9 2013 and I tried on a pair of no boundaries size 9 and size 11 jeans. the size 11 jeans fit really good and were comfy but tight around the upper thigh area which I think is how it is supposed to be. the size 9 jeans did fit, I got them buttoned and zipped up but they were too tight and not comfy ha ha... but the fact that I got into a size 9 is just amazing for me.
When I weighed in today... or should I say on Saturday November 9 2013 I was 133 lbs 4x at 9:08am with the old scale/ n/c before everything and then with the
new scale around 9:15am or so I was 132.9 lbs..and I was just 133.8 lbs last week.
on Saturday November 2 2013 I weighed in at 133.8 lbs
on Saturday November 9 2013 I weighed in at 132.9 lbs
which means that I went down just about 1 lb or 0.9 lbs
also, I had Cassie and Richard help me measure myself and with no shoes or socks or slippers on I measured at 5 feet 3 inches and 3/4 which is what they got at doctors two weeks ago when I went there but it was with sneakers on and they didn't put it far enough down so I do believe that is an accurate weight you know and Richard believes it too as he feels that doctors do a bad job of that. I don't think they did that time though.
But I am so thrilled that you now....the weight is going down I am just loving it! and
about the jeans. what I ended up doing. I wanted to try on a pair or two of skinny jean because they had them at Walmart. so I tried on a pair of size 12 and a pair of size 10. I tried the 12 on first and it fit but was little loose and so then I took them off and put the size 10 on and that fit too and then I was able to slide them down while still buttoned and zipped but they were so comfy that I just decided to get them. and hten I wore them with my high boots and had C and R look and they both said that the jeans looked good on me. Loving it!
will try to post pics later
