Exercise... not working like I thought :(

Feb 15, 2010

So I have kicked my exercise into high gear. I go to the gym 5 days a week now, sometimes 6 on the weeks that I meet with a personal trainer. I feel better. I feel stronger! It is amazing. However, since I started working out my weight loss has slowed down. I know this is normal but it still has me bummed.

I started working out a lot about 3 weeks ago, and since then I hadn't lost a single pound! Not ONE pound in 3 weeks... working out 5 days a week! What the hell is that? This past week we had a death in the family so we had to travel several states away for the services. I wasnt able to work out those days while we were gone and guess what.... I lost 5lb in 3 days. For real?! Are you kidding me?! I stop working out and I drop 5lb like nothing.

This is very discouraging.

I am heading back into the gym today even though I am afraid I am going to be stuck at 260 forever. I guess 260 is better than the 324 I started at, but still it is a very difficult mental road block for me.

I wish there was a clear defined point at which exercise helps melt fat and pounds. If I knew what to expect and when to expect it I would feel so much better.
