Day 8 (8 of 10)
So far this morning I had my Hot Spark, my fiber drink (YUM! The more I drink it the more I LOVE it. Mixes up very well in the blender bottle) I also had my probiotic.
I can tell I've been forgetting to take my Thyroid pills, my hair is really dry and falling out again as well as my hands are feeling like I have nasty stiff gloves on (when I don't) from being so dry. Those meds are now unpacked and on my desk. I did take them this morning so in a couple days I'll start to be feeling better. With that not being taken it will prevent me from losing weight. *sigh* I'll probably gain in the next few days due to it as well.
I have a 10 am Private Trainer appointment over at Snap Fitness to get me started working out and targeting my problem areas aka my stomach. After 3 c-sections my muscles are basically mush. :( I'm sure hoping I can look like I did in high school by the end of summer! My goal is not to lose pounds but to turn my blubber into muscle. I'm not a "thinly" built woman by any means, I'm shaped like a V with my shoulders being broad and my ummm NORMAL waist is pretty small with no hips. My hips at the moment are rolls of the excess. So my goal is to not get a 6 pack again but to at least not have the excess fat. I may probably never post my weight as that is not what I'm concerned with and I know muscle weighs more than fat. I just want to widdle down my midsection. WOW! I feel like an overweight out of shape old fart now after my appointment. Excuse me while I B!tch for a minute. I don't usually lift weights with my arms, I use my legs, but the score is based on arms/chest muscle. (FAIL) Sit ups, yeah after 3 c-sections and 13 pregnancies in all...not happening. (FAIL) Cardio... quitting smoking after 20 years... yeah not so great. (FAIL) Flexibility is average. (Only good thing to come out of that dam appointment that I learned) AARGH
My darn computer wouldn't start so I have to back track again.
I did eat VERY well even with Chris home. I stuck to my Cleanse suggestions very close. Lots of water, and good stuff. I was hungry after the meeting last night so I had some fruit. :)
Supper was chicken with wild brown rice (nummy!). Lunch yesterday was a MRS and a Breakfast Bar.

Great job on the past days. Hubby's allergies have also flared starting on Saturday. been very busy with the rescue dog & trying to keep a normal schedule. You're doing good. Sorry to hear about your thyroid meds messing with your system & being the cause of you not losing much weight. I'm assuming since you were taking the cleanse that was the reason for not being on them? Working out more will help tremendously for the flabbies. Catalyst will help with the trimming & everything else. I'm just AMAZED with the results I've seen on myself with what's going on with my gut which has been a pill my whole life. Even when I was 98lbs. I still had a gut! My goal isn't to get back to that weight so don't worry, but it's just to prove I've NEVER EVER had a flat stomach & I think I might be able to get that possibly.
It's ok, it's kinda like BMI, what a joke. The ONLY accurate way to get that is the water displacement test. I almost ALWAYS failed the flexibility tests. I should meet with a SNAP person to see how I would do. Not sure I'd want to know after hearing about your mtg. with them. How did they do the cardio test? I'm guessing on a dreadmill. Which is a not that accurate way since interval/intermittent training is mostly what I do anyways with the Zumba. Most effective for burning calories. the intermittent training & weight resistance is with the Zumba Toning. SO glad your taking the 4 week session on Sundays.:) It will help your cardio & going from flab to fab out SOOO much. It will make you get your money's worth in results that's for sure!
