Nothing ever changes......

After a week of little exercise and being sick (still sick), the good news is that I didn't gain any.
The money scale remains the same- 195.5.

At home, there was a little variation: 192.6 lbs (-), 39.0 fat (+.6), 41.5 water (-.6), and muscle 45.1 (-.9). I don't like losing the muscle, since it will burn more calories. I'm not surprised by the fat since I haven't been working any off!

Sooo, if you're keeping track- that's down 8.4 total pounds since 1/15/08.

Temptation avoided today: a cinnamon roll and a donut!
(I picked the font color for how I'm feeling!)

Being sick stinks

I've got a cold, so I haven't exercised in four days. Between being sick and it raining, I've been stuck. I'm not looking forward to the weigh-in!

Little late....

I didn't get to do my morning home-scale ritual yesterday morning because I was running very late for work! However, I did weigh at school, and luckily didn't gain any, still at 195.5.

I had a hard week with eating since we had two late days at school with dinner provided. We also had a long weekend, so you know how tempting food can be when you are on "vacation"!

Anyway, here's the numbers: 192.6 lbs (+2.2), 38.4 fat (+.4), 42.1 water (-.4), and muscle 46.2 (even).

I would really like the numbers next week to be under 190 on both scales, so that's my goal! Jonah is home sick, so I just did a 3 mile walk/run. I am going to try to lower my intake a little as up my work-outs to include a little more weights. That should at least gain me a little muscle.

On the up side, I ordered a pair of size 16 pants from Coldwater Creek. They not only fit me, they are a little big! Wooh, Hooh!

Nevermind!

I found the setting that enables you all to add comments without having an account- so comment away!

Tuesday weigh-in

Today was the first money weigh-in at school. The gal who won did so with over 6% weight loss for the month. She was hard to capture this month, but I have hope for the long haul. (slow and steady wins the race!)

Here's the numbers for today, and they are good! The money scale: 195.5, down close to 7 since the beginning. (I missed winning the two-week prize by .20%- the gal who won is a size 2, grrr....)

Home scale: 190.4 (-1.6), 38.0 fat (+.6), 42.5 water (-.8), and 46.2 muscle (-1.8).


I don't like being down on the muscle, but I'm working on it. I have added intervals of jogging two days a week. I ran about 9 minutes tonight since it was sprinkling and I wanted to get in something of value for the work-out!

I'll be keeping you posted.

A note about leaving comments: If you would rather not make a gmail account, you can always send me a comment on my email account: juliebellefrost@gmail.com and I can upload it here.

However, just a small commercial for gmail.....it is really cool. It has a great spam catcher (I almost never get any!) and you never have to delete emails because it has unlimited space. But the best reason......most places of employment don't block it since it is from google, so you can check it anywhere! (just a thought!)

Oops! Sorry! The long awaited update

I've had quite a week, but here's the update.
2/5/08 home scale: 192.0 lbs (-10.8), 37.4 fat (-1.8), 43.3 (+1.2) water, and 48.0 (-1.3)muscle. The weight here is obviously good news. However, on the scale at school, heretofore to be named the money scale, I am only down 4 lbs. The first money pay-off is on Tuesday, so I'll let you know my specific percentage down then.

I have replaced the battery in my scale at home and it weighed exactly the same, so I'm not sure what that means. I am down nine total from my scale here, so I definitely like that number!

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

Got on the scale this morning at home. 193. Now who in the world loses almost 10 pounds in 2 days? (cus I got back on the scale on Wed. and it was still 202.8)

I don't know and I don't care. I'll dang well take it!
