Health Blahg

Weight: 364.5

Yes, V, I do post my actual weight but I'm a boy so it's not so much a big deal. However, this proves if you don't do something about the weight, it won't change.

Had planned to clear the decks and start a diet today, but didn't do the plotting and prep work. Resolve to eat less and log all food.

Exercise: Nothing organized; hit Friday Night Waltz and got a polka in, as well as about 2 hours other dancing, and threw Ted around in the pool. Feeling week and without cardio strength either. Need to get a baseline.

???
Me V?
I've been known to post my actual weight... Honestly, while it sucks, it is just a number. And I'm a girl. ;-)

I've been seeing a personal trainer for 5 weeks now. I've been going to the gym 3-4 times a week. I've been logging every bit of food that goes into my mouth.
I started out at 289, and I'm now 286.6

Talk about frustrating.
BUT! I have lost some inches and my body fat percentage has dropped about 8%.

Even though I'm exercising, and keeping my caloric intake between 1600-1800 kCals, I'm not losing weight. My nutritionist suggested to I try bumping my intake to 1900-2000 a day, as the @1700 may not be enough food, causing my body to go 'starvation mode'.

Dude

Totally deep bummer.
But, I'm still plugging along.
Even with not losing any weight, I'm still getting 'trimmer'.
And that can only be good. :-D

Yup!

Also strength and endurance aren't measured on the scale so if your feeling better, its worth it!
Go girl!

Gym tonight?
