GRR.

Ok, last week was perhaps the first week EVER that I actually did exactly the workout that I said I was going to.

I did the SI6 on Sunday...walked Monday and Tuesday...SI6 again on Wednesday...walked Friday, and SI6 on Saturday. In other words, I busted my ASS.

I weighed myself yesterday...I was up to 175.5.

W...T...F?!?!?

This may be due to a number of factors. For one thing, I cannot get enough to eat. My stomach is literally grumbling ALL THE TIME. Especially at night, which is when I have to take my vitamins...and, since I cannot take them on an empty stomach, I have to eat something before I go to bed. Now, I'm always healthy about what I eat...yogurt or pretzels or cottage cheese...but, I guess it's still something that weighs on me in the morning.

It could also be due to my body sort of spazzing out about the amount of exercise it's getting. I think that this has happened before...I would need to go back through old entries to make sure...but I think that I usually gain weight to begin with, and then lose it.

This morning I was back down to 174...which is still WAY higher than I should be. I'm hoping that, with a slightly improved diet and the same sort of exercise regimen as last week, I'll see that go down by a few pounds this week.

My plan for this week is: Nothing yesterday (I had a baby shower to attend), walking 3+ miles today, SI6 AND Wii tomorrow, walking 3+ miles on Wednesday, SI6 on Friday, walking 3+ miles on Saturday, and SI6 + Wii again on Sunday. This is a lot...but I proved last week that I really CAN do that much in a week...so no more excuses for me.

The SI6 has gotten a bit easier since last week. I literally thought that I was going to need to get special painkillers from the doctor after Sunday's session last weekend. I could not walk for DAYS. I did it again on Wednesday and Saturday, though, and while it still hurt a lot it wasn't nearly as bad as it had been.

Keeping up this routine, I cannot possibly NOT lose weight, right? I mean, when I was working out before, I KNOW that I was keeping at least a similar diet, and I don't think I was working out quite as much as I am now. So I'm really hoping that this will eventually lead to some AMAZING weight loss. My fingers are crossed.

Later!
