Fun on the hamstring machine!
I'd not been doing weights for about a month, because the water
aerobics and swimming was literally whipping my ass! But yesterday, I felt like getting some weights done, so I went to the gym. But the fun part, when I got on the seated hamstring curl machine, was that the pad you clamp down on your thighs was able to clamp down a whole notch more!!!!!! Slimmer thighs! OK, maybe not by much, it wasn't real comfortable, but I couldn't put the pad there before at all! I could swear that I am looking a bit smaller in the mirror... I noticed that when I was doing dumbbell curls. I hope it is not just my imagination! Had not lost much progress on weights, so I guess the resistance work in the water was working my arms pretty well. And this morning... the scale was down to 237... though I'm not sure if I'm believing that yet, so no signature change unless it stays there for sure. -- Cynthia 262/238.5/152

Oh, no doubt about it, I've been better the past week. Minimal disruption, very focussed on getting all my meals in. Also very focussed on getting liquids in. I try to eat 5-6 meals a day, each having lean protein, veggies or fruit and healthy fats. It's easiest when I prepare one or two days worth of salads first thing in the morning and put them in 2 cup ziploc containers. Then I can grab and eat on the fly. Of course, sometimes I don't plan as well as I might and I botch the grocery shopping and have to improvise. However, for me, it seems like I do best losing when I'm getting my exercise in. Otherwise, I tend to stall easy. -- Cynthia 262/238.5/152

It's all the little improvements that really jazz me... the scale can go up and down day to day, so I don't get too crazed over what it says. But I love it when suddenly I can lift heavier or swim faster, or am actually SMALLER! -- Cynthia 262/238.5/152
