I took today off from my workout because Im so sore and was so stiff this morning it hurt to walk. I would not have done myself any favors had I went to class. I would have bent over and collapsed and probably embarrass myself and cry. When I have been working out I have been giving it my all. I havnt really lost any weight yet to brag about but I know its coming. I have other signs its working.
I can get up and down off the floor easier.
I can bend over easier.
I have more energy throughout the day.
My jeans in the hips area seems a little looser. (Could just be me but it doesn't feel as tight)
I'm not needing my inhaler during the workouts.
I read this today and I'm going to print it and hang it all over the house to remind me when I'm doubting myself.
Even if you can't physically
see the results in front
of you,
EVERY SINGLE effort
is changing your body
from the INSIDE.
Never get
discouraged.
I for one am discouraged easily. I know I am working so hard and faithfully doing my workouts and eating good. It really bites when you behave and get on the scale and whatever you had lost (however little it was) is right back on and brought a few of his pound friends along. It's just nice to physically see progress.
I went to the Dr today to see how I'm doing with my diabetes and get the results of my liver ultra sound. I had planned on fasting the whole day just so I wouldn't weigh more and I want to make the Dr proud of me and in case I needed to have fasting labs done. But my big guts started eating my little guts and I ate. I made a tuna sandwich and about an hour after I ate it i remembered I wasn't going to eat. Oh well.
So I "pre-weigh" at home so I know about what their scale will weigh/ I didn't like the results so I got on backwards, sideways, holding my left foot up, then the right,and then doing the karate kid pose. Nope all still said 354. I really felt like getting the hammer. So my husband weighed and he yelled at them also. Lol. At the Dr I also weighed 354. One good thing I guess is that they both weighed me the same.
So my ultra sound was good. No tumors or cysts or anything on the liver. Just showed I have a fatty liver. Shocker! I have a fatty butt too. I wasn't having any problems but the liver enzyme test I had done was elevated twice the normal amount it should have been. I had been on some meds for diabetes that helped aggravate it also so he stopped those last month. He put me back on Lantus but that just caused my blood sugars to be higher and out of the normal range than if I didn't take any insulin. So we switched over to Levimer (another long acting insulin) instead. He also said I probably have a low (I can't remember what he called it so I'm calling it an enzyme so bear with me) enzyme level that controls hunger and feeling full. So that works against me. Then I take the insulin and that causes me to be hungry. So I started another shot that is like Byetta and it's called Victoza. It helps stimulate the pancreas to make insulin. One other benefit is it helps you feel full faster so you don't eat as much. The only bad part is getting used to it. For the first couple weeks it causes you to get nauseated after you take it when you eat. I return again in a month.
Last night at Flab Fighters Kim promised to make us hurt. We all worked so hard. Sometimes I feel as though I am ready to drop dead but I feel so much better doing this. I also used the 8 lb weights during class. Boy those suckers got so heavy but it isn't going to benefit me so be a wussy. Before the class I did half a Zumba class but stopped because I knew I needed my energy and was also going to do Hip Hop Hustle for the first time. Hip Hop Hustle was alot of fun. I was so pooped tho. Then this morning when my alarm went off at 5:15 I could hardly walk. It was a tough choice to make but I decided to take today off and take it easy.
Tomorrow is a brand new day. I ordered a Fitbit and it is supposed to be here. So when I go to Flab Fighters tomorrow night I can get a better insight on my actual calories burned. I also have a Bodybugg but I hate the fact that you have to buy a subscription in order to see calories you have burned. Kinda a rip off if you ask me since they are so expensive in the first place. The Fitbit doesn't cost anything to see all the info. They do have a premium subscription you can buy if you want to compare your results with your friends. Right now I am focusing on me.
Guess what? I have hit the BIG TIME. I am on the NampaFitStudio's website under success stories. I can't wait for the world to see me go from plus size to normal size. I'm tired of the stereotypical phrase for overweight women "Oh but she has such a pretty face". I have an even prettier face when I'm not over weight even though it's been 21 years since I saw it last. I won't lie I am nervous.
