Well, there is no beating around the bush this week – I landed well and truly on the 254 mark.
I suppose for this past week, I can only blame myself. The elliptical needed to be fixed, so I didn’t get my regular time on it. While I made up for that with a lot of walking and some jogging (!), I can’t help but think that I needed to do more to match the amount of calories I would have burned using the elliptical.
It was also Mr. JM’s birthday, so I took him out for an indulgent meal where we both ate too much. Thankfully, the ‘too much’ consisted of seafood and veggies and then we split a single piece of chocolate cake, so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been (eg. Party snacks and beer – not that I would drink beer). I do know that I probably should have had more activity on the weekend to help make up for the amount of seafood and veggies I had.
I’m very happy to say that I finally went out and bought a stability (exercise) ball. It’s a big blue one and it has been a lot of fun working on my core stability. Even if it has made me a bit sore getting used to constantly balancing. But that’s what it’s for.
I’ve also noticed that my body seems to be in a state of flux, so to say…
Remember back when I said I was having an ‘I feel fat’ week? Well, it sort of went away, but not completely. I feel like all my weight is shifting to my middle. Instead of feeling like a ‘solid’ woman, I definitely am feeling more like I’m fat around my hips and abdomen.
I told this to Mr. JM and he said that I should measure myself straightaway because knowing whether or not I have actually grown in that area or if I’m just feeling like I have can help come time for my appointments… So I did measure myself…
Plus about two inches since January 9th. Ugh. Even factor in human error – maybe I pulled the measuring tape a little tight last time or did it a little higher this time – that’s still so much… I don’t even know if that’s a good, bad or just a weird thing, but you can be sure I’m going to ask about it come February 12th.
Maybe I need to be doing sit ups or something as well.
How is everyone else doing?
