I don't know that I would have believed myself if I'd told myself 12 weeks ago that I would have actually kept up with this. Ha. I need to give myself a pat on the back. I found myself earlier looking at the calendar and thinking to myself that I'll be close to 16 weeks near the end of the month. Then, I got to thinking about all those different weight loss commercials for various things, and the results were always at "16 weeks" or "20 weeks" or even "30 weeks." So, hoping to start to see some results that stick soon. I haven't weighed myself since Monday, so I guess I'll see in the morning if things have been going right. :)
Anywho, onto the numbers!
Monday Weigh-In: 155.8
I continued the night sessions this week. Still not enjoying the cutting into my down time at the end of the day, and going to bed with wet hair is started to annoy me, but, it'll do for now. Mini-Sarge has been sorta sick this week, and naps have been a crap shoot. And he wakes up several times between 5-7:30, so, mornings, even if I wanted to peel myself out of bed, would be a bust, too. I varied the workouts this week, just for fun. Did fatburn on Monday, followed by hill, interval, strength and strength. Strength is a beast compared to the others! I actually feel it in my legs. It's less of a cardio workout.
Oh, and Monday, I dropped my water, and had to stop for a few minutes to clean up, but there is no pause on my machine... so, workout suffered, ha. Oh well. Just a little disclaimer there. ^^;

Weeeeek.... 11!
Yes, eleven. Ha. I had to look. A little late posting this. I've been spending all my free time over on fanfiction.net being a nerd.
Monday Weight-in: 156.4!
Did a "are you suuuuuure" check on Wednesday, and was at 154, so I'm hoping that's I've finally gotten off this plateau.
I tried something different this week. Mini-Sarge's sleep schedule took a crazy turn, and I found that working out at night might be my only way to get it done without interruption. So, I took to the night shift on fatburn mode. Didn't seem to affect my sleep. Didn't help with the being hungry all day either... ha, but, it's cool. It's hard figuring out what part of my already short time to myself I want to give up to do this.

Week Nine Complete
Hi, again!
Not much to say today, other than I've felt like crap all week. Proud of myself for not dropping the ball though. I may have slacked off on extra exercises, but I did complete the main goal each day, which is the elliptical. So, whee. Hoping to feel better next week. Did each day on the fatburn setting, in the afternoon this week.

Eight Weeks
And growing more impatient. XD I do not feel quite as helpless and frustrated this week, though. I may not be seeing the numbers on the scale drop and stay down, but I am seeing a difference in the wobble that is my arms, and my legs firming up. So, whatever the scale may say tomorrow, I say bring it!
This week, I worked out in the afternoons and did the cardio function. Sucked ass, but I did it! It was nice to sleep in. I think if I'm ever going to manage to do the elliptical + Jillian on a more regular basis, however, that I'll have to get up a few times a week, or hit the elliptical a few times at night. Haven't decided yet.

Seven Weeks Down
But how many to go? lol Oi. If I don't start seeing some results soon, who knows? Ugh.
Technically, I suppose there should be at least 6 months left before the project is over. Surely, I'll see something by then, yes? XD
In a frustrated state this week. I'm just not feeling like I'm getting anywhere. And, I want to eat a whole gallon of icecream, and a drink a six-pack, and sit on my ass all day. Not very motivated, I suppose, huh? I didn't wake up early and jump on the elliptical once. I was too tired, so I just did it while my son napped (his naps have gotten better, so I think the fact that I didn't -have- to get up played a huge role in that). I also noticed that after Tuesday, I had almost no energy, and my workout times slowly diminished as the week progressed. I was achy all week, and ended up having to break out my wrist braces by the end of the week. Not sure if I slept stupid, too long, or if it's weather related. Hoping that Monday will be better.
I cheated this week and weighed myself during the week. I was appalled to find that I was two pounds lighter Tuesday than when I weighed in on Monday. Wtf, right?
Monday Weigh-In: 158.0
My elliptical work outs were all over the place this week. Monday I did it at night (we had company last weekend that didn't leave until Monday), and the rest of the week was in the afternoon. Tuesday and Friday were on the hill setting, the rest of the week was on fatburn (in a futile attempt, most likely, to knock off some fat because I was distressed after Monday's weigh-in).

I wanna say that besides the cake that I ate, I did decent with food this week. I'm still not able to do the grazing thing all day. It's too hard.

6 Weeks - This Better Be Muscle!
Hello! Wondering this week, if this is going anywhere, or if I'm just doing it all for nothing. Weight didn't drop again. I feel better, and I feel like certain areas are smaller, but the scale isn't cooperating. I should have taken tape measurements before I started. Now I'm at the mercy of the scale.
Monday Weigh-In: 157.4
Elliptical times, all in interval setting this week. Finally made it through all 6 pre-programmed settings. Monday and Tuesday, I got up, the rest of the week, I worked out in the afternoon.

This week was terrible as far as food goes. Monday was my fifth wedding anniversary with Sarge, so I made a cake. It took us all week to eat that (and I ate the most of it. He hates when I make sweets--which doesn't happen often. He thinks I'm trying to sabotage him.). And then on Friday, I made another cake for Mini-Sarge's birthday party on Saturday. So... more cake. XD And once a fat kid, always a fat kid. I not be super heavy like I used to be, but I see cake and immediately want to eat the whole thing. Saying that... I am proud that I showed some restraint this week, and only had reasonably sized portions.
I realize, by the way, that keeping track of what I eat is silly, but it's one way for me to take accountability for it all, even if I'm not actually counting total calories. I'm more conscious of what goes in, even if it is bad, ha.
Monday: banana, 2 cups coffee, 2 pieces of toast with jelly, 1 piece of quiche, small brownie, 90 calorie granola bar, 1 serving (17 chips) of Terra brand exotic potato chips, handful of dry cereal, medium plate of chicken fettuccine alfredo with peas, 1 slice of carrot cake (200 calories), a gallon of water, a banana, and some sunflower seeds
Tuesday: banana, 2 cups coffee, 2 pieces of toast with butter, 1 piece of quiche, 1/2 lowfat yogurt, 90 calorie granola bar, tuna salad on a bun, serving of baked french fries, sunflower seeds, a few bites of carrot cake (about 1/3 a slice), then the other 2/3 of the slice of cake, 8 Ritz crackers with tuna salad, a medium size plate of the alfredo, a glass of milk, a gallon of water, and another piece of cake
Wednesday: 2 pieces of toast with butter, 1 quiche, 2 cups coffee, handful of cereal, watermelon slice, banana, a bowl of macaroni and cheese, sunflower seeds, a package of poptarts, skin off of the apple I peeled for Mini-Sarge, a piece of cake, 1 20oz diet coke, a small plate of alfredo, and a gallon of water
Thursday: 2 cups coffee, 1 quiche (yes, seriously, lol. I made too much on Monday), 1 toast with jelly, 1/3 banana, sunflower seeds, a piece of cake, serving of the exotic potato chips (which I looked up, it's a 150 calories, so not too bad), string cheese, a few fresh raspberries, a cup of hot green tea with honey, 1/2 a pan fried chicken breast, creamed corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, and 96 ounces of water.
Friday: 2 cups coffee, 1 bowl of oatmeal with raisins, 1 banana, a handful of raspberries, 1/2 a piece of toast with plum jelly, 20 ounce iced green tea, a handful of cereal, 1/2 of a Tombstone pizza, and 96 ounces of water
A little good... a lot bad. Heh. Trying to do better this week. We'll see. I just need to work in Miss Jillian's DVD a few more times a week. Shall see, shall see. So, not much progress this week. I'm still looking big picture here. We'll see what week 12+ brings.
Until next week!
