Week 19...damn stall!

Feb 06, 2012

Well, I've been bouncing between 299-300 since January 18th...AND I AM DAMN SICK OF IT.  I know I'm not alone, two of my OH friends who had surgery the day after me have been dealing with this BS, too.  I have all kinds of nice, encouraging things to say to them...however, they don't apply to me apparently because I just can't get out of this funk.  Clothes are fitting nicer, I'm developing some kind of a figure, I'm still measuring & keeping track of my food, and also exercising 5 days a week at minimum...I know I'm not doing anything wrong, but I think that makes it so much harder actually.  I bumped up my workouts last week, adding 10 pounds to all of the weight machines, and an extra 12 laps to my swim.  I was hoping that would push me out of my stall.  I started doing yoga 3 times a week...albeit only for 10 minutes, but that's all my knees & wrists can take at 300 pounds.  I find reasons to go up and down the stairs more.  We park far away from store entrances.  I think the reason it's harder when you know you're doing everything right is b/c up until the 18th, everything right was showing me everything I wanted to see on the scale.  Now I'm just a hostage of my body, waiting for it to give up and let the fat go.  I've been in a piss poor mood all day long, starting bright and early to the gym 2 hours earlier than usual b/c we had things to do today.  So my swim was short, and so was my temper.  Then I fell down our hill going to the car (other than a bruised ego, having done this in front of the gas & electric construction crew parked in front of our house, I'm fine from this one), then when we got where we were going, I fell getting out of the car, over the curb.  Busted my knee up pretty good, as well as my pinky and hand.  FANTASTIC!  Then the appointment we were at was not what we were expecting, and so now hubby is in a bad mood.  Oy vey.  Relax.  Relax.  Relax.  Breathe.

Onto the good!  I'm getting my new swimsuit next week!  Which means I will have two for Brenda (SeattleMaui) to pass along to someone in need of a suit.  I'm finally getting my Junonia aquatard!  I'm so excited, as the skin on my legs needs those compression shorts in a bad way!  And even better news...very shortly, I will become Auntie G to yet another beautiful little niece to love and spoil...Mia Louise will be making her debut any minute now!  We're heading to the hospital when I finish this post.  

Finished!
