SVixen™Lose what you want, keep the rest! 27 February Michelle updateWell, I don’t know if lost weight this week again or not...won’t see my dietician until Friday. Wish me luck!! Well, luck really has nothing to do with it. Wish me discipline. Yeah, that’s it. J I think I have gone down ‘cause I was able to tighten my belt another notch...and I went and bought some new pants and a new shirt over the weekend. And they’re a size down! So I know I’m moving in the right direction. Now if I can just get my knees and my back to cooperate... Working on some physical therapy to help with that. With any luck, I should start to feel better in a couple of weeks. On another note, the emotional side of things has been difficult at times. I am trying to plan a wedding in addition to getting in shape – sometimes it is a little overwhelming. Plus, my dad hasn’t been well for several months and I am really worried about him. He just went in the hospital again this morning. So I am off to the hospital to visit with him. Hopefully the news will be “good”... -Kelli here: Michelle and her family found out that Michelle's dad does have to go into surgery for his heart. I won't go into the details as I believe those to be private, however we are certainly with her and her family as well as her Dad through this trying time.
Kelli's updateAlright so I am not on the fast track and I have accepted that. :) I have lost 5.6 lbs since starting this thing and here's how it goes typically...
two pounds down, one pound up, two pounds down, one pound up. But that's alright, I'll take it! I got a new dog and his name is Stu. He is helping me to get out and run three times a week and walk a bunch on the other days with one day off. That is part of why I chose to get a second "larger" dog. It would be unfair for me to expect Chavez to run/keep pace with me. He is GREAT on a hike, but he's more of the slow and steady sort. So now I get to share pictures with you!
And back to the main point of this blog... El Bod. So the first improvements from my meager 5.6 lb loss have revealed themselves to me. Ya know that part of your back that sits kind of on the sides but just below where your bra strap is.. the part that could roll if given half the chance... yeah those. I caught a glimpse the other day and I was like.. hey.. that's much better looking. woot!! oh and I believe that my arms are looking better also. Of course the arms thing could be from "working" with Stu on his leash manners. wink wink!
Well that's it for now, look forward to talking at you some more in a bit!
K Update from MichelleSo the last couple of weeks have been pretty good, but I’ve been...um...cheating a little here and there. It finally took its toll this week – no weight loss. So, back to being more structured and keeping better track of what I am doing and planning ahead!! Overall, I am doing super. I am down 15 lbs since 1/7 and almost all of my measurements are down! Bust 47.25 now 45 = -2.25 Waist 41.5 now 38.75 = -2.75 Hips 46.5 now 45.25 = -1.25 R Thigh 27.25 now 26.5 = -.75 R Calf 19 now 18.5 = -.5 R Arm 14.75 same
I’ve been having a struggle with my body though. My knee is giving me problems and now my back, too. I can’t really do much cardio because of these...grrrr. It’s so frustrating! I finally have everything aligned to get healthy, and my body is giving out on me. So I saw a knee specialist and I am going to a physical therapist this week to see what I can do to help my knee and back. I hope to get some good news – or at least some alternatives.
I am still worried about the future. I talked with my dietician this week and we agreed that I need to stay really structured for a while – that will not be a permanent lifestyle, but it will help me stay disciplined so that, when I start maintenance, I will have had a long period of time being structured so it will be more of a habit. Don’t know if that makes sense to y’all...but the reasoning is that the longer I keep the habit of being structured, the easier it will be later. If I break the structure now, I will never get in the habit. It helps to have people in my household who are also trying to remain healthy...but their goals are different than mine, so it is still a struggle now and then.
Any way, that’s this week’s experiment. J In the mean time, just trying to remember to pre plan my food and activities. If they’re not handy or already on the schedule, I won’t do it! I have so many excuses I can come up with!! (if you need an excuse for something, just ask me. I’m sure I can help you!) ha ha ha
Just keep keepin’ on for now. And staying in touch with friends like K and C and F who are also striving toward their goals.
