yesterday was tough. I had a downtown appointment and knew I would be gone most of the day. So I ate a big steak and did some of the tank work and burned a ton of calories on the bike before I left. I had tons of extra fuel as my breakfast was in excess of 800 calories. I knew I would need it.
I guess the stress of all that highway driving and the multiple appointments totally wacked my reserves. I was exhausted by time and I got home and just could not get myself to finish my work or do a thing. I warmed up some leftovers even though I was not hungry and went to lay down the rest of the afternoon. My husband knew how tired I was and he made me some eggs and sent me to bed.
I think I overdid the cardio the past couple days, I just could not eat enough to fuel my calorie burns. I still struggle with my appetite. Just not hungry enough to eat much during the day other then a hearty breakfast.
I woke up early and was still tired, so I cooked a nice steak and gobbled it down! I have to do my fish work so I am getting that stuff done slowly but surely. Definitely a slower moving day. I spoiled myself with a cup of coffee, since I was not going anywhere today I did not mind the brain fog. I am only going to do my weight training today. It took a few hours before I felt I was ready. and first two series is in the bag. I generally do 2 series of my new exercises on the bowflex and then maybe again in the afternoon. I added 6 new exercises I found online booklet for the machine this week and I started them at the same weight I was doing my original 4. It is taking all week to get my body to catch up and do them correctly. lot of weight to start for the new ones. #60 on each side. #120 total. I think in a couple weeks I will have my form more solid and can adjust the weight again. I know compared to the guys it is not much, but for me it took weeks to move up. and I am happy with my progress.

Great job Baskington. You are very thorough and aware of your body. I will get there hopefully. But not before my NY trip. Enjoy your Friday. xo

what chart?? I know I am within 3 pounds of my goal weight, but I have a ton of fat to burn off way above my goal weight. Just cranking on those muscles!

If you are happy with your progress that is awesome - don't compare yourself to others because they are different than you - great job!

I don't Nikeit, I am pretty happy I have managed to go from couch potato to working with 60 pound weights per side. It took 2 months of slow work to get here, but I am happy to be here. Work on the lower body is going at a snails pace but I will get there!

Your chart at: https://bit.ly/2PAuaJ6 Basically it shows massive consistent progress. 99% of the people cannot achieve that. Basically it is quite remarkable.

How you figure those things out?/ I have just been doing my best to follow your guys discussions and asking Chris a question or two on occasion. I will peek at this and see what it is.

Sometimes you just have to take a day or so off. The body will adjust...

I wish I could gift you some of my appetite - I find it difficult to control it.

I'm amazed by how steady your weight loss is! It's great that you have been so faithful to your workouts and that perhaps accounts for the straightness of your weight-loss trend line. Although I am losing, my graph looks a little bit like rickrack ;) but at least the overall slant is in the right direction!

we all have challenges Patricia and I have made my fair share of bunders along the way to hinder my weight loss. I don't bother recording my slight water gains, but my journey would bounce just like everyone elses a pound up and pound back down. Eat something I am sensitive to I would bloat up and hold water for 3 or 4 days.

okay Adef you were talking about my weight graph, I thought you were talking about my resistance work. LOL! As I was explaining to Patricia, I don't bother recording my slight gains or losses. I don't record my losses until they are stable for 2 days. Water gains bounce all over the place for everyone. Nothing that concerns me, over the coarse of multiple days is when I get a true reading. I recorded my last weight drop a couple days ago but found it did not take, so now I fixed it, only 2 days late. I am due another one tomarrow or the next day. Now that I am not eating all the foods that mess with me, the weight is dropping more regularly. I was bad today, I had my mind fogging coffee twice. I wanted to keep myself foggy minded so I would not push myself again with the cardio. it is addicting.
