Ok, so, I don't think I told you guys that the battery for the watch portion of my heart rate monitor died. Well, it did, so for a while I was kinda "going in blind" when I did my work outs. I know some calories burned is better than no calories burned and lots of people lose weight without heart rate monitors, but since I've started using it, I really like knowing and I find it helps me to push myself when I can see that my heart rate isn't as fast as it should be.
So, ya, finally got a new battery and then got back to it. 2 weeks ago, I went to the gym for 4 days in a row. Last week, another 4 days. This week, I've already gone once. Gonna go tomorrow after work and then try for Thursday as well. I've also kinda switched things up a bit. I'm been using hand weights more; for bench presses, for squats, and for overall arm strength. I've upped the weights recently too, so that makes me feel good. And strong, of course. lol
Also, my weight is starting to come down a bit slowly. It's not much but it's something. And I was able to ALMOST have a pre-planned low calorie day. I had planned to have an all cereal day. Basically, a cup of cereal and a cup of milk 4 times in a day. However, that would equal about 1140 cals and I know you need like 1200 just for your body to function, so I added a couple apples to the mix. The only unplanned thing I ended adding to the plan was a McRib patty (which was about 300+ cals), so no biggie and it's too much to type to explain the situation. I think it went well though, and I'm hoping to do a cereal/yogurt day tomorrow. :)
K, one last update. I went shopping today a bought a couple nice looking plaid button up shirts. They were L's, but Old Navy L's (which tend to run larger than the actual size), but I didn't really care about the size, I was just happy cuz I'd been looking for nice plaid shirts for a while and happy that I looked good in them. So, I decided to wear one out to dinner and a movie tonight and wanted to pair it with this skirt I hadn't worn in a while. The last time I tried the skirt on, it didn't really fit nicely, so I figured that would be the case today and I'd have to wear something else. Well, it fit. I mean it's still not as "comfortable" as I'd like it to be, but it was absolutely wearable and I thought I looked pretty damn good. Sorry I don't have a pic, but you can take my word for it. ;)
Alright, well, that was a little longer than I thought it would be, but I guess that's what happens when I wait so long to post. Will try to be more diligent in the future. Later taters.
