Ugh

I did HORRIBLE for this month's measurements/weigh-in. I wasn't surprised; I was quite depressed last month and never went in on my own time to work out, and I ate really badly. But still, seeing those numbers was very upsetting. It's like I'm right back where I started, only my actual health has improved even if my body is "big". Martin and I sat down and discussed goals and seriously talked about how I can improve my eating habits without being angry about having to be limiting in my food choices (when I'm not eating out every day, my calorie consumption isn't an issue - it's the CONTENT of what I eat).

In some good news though, I did 15 half push-ups in a minute today :D When I started, I literally couldn't even do ONE half push-up. I could go down, but I wasn't coming back up. Hahaha. Woo~

So we know I'm stronger, but I'm still at 136 (ICK ICK ICK) and I gained inches all over. This isn't surprising, as I don't have any one place to store extra poundage. It just kind melds all over me like a nice marshmallow coating. Blehhh.

Anyway, that got me a little down, but! I'm not looking back, only forward. :)

Aww, thanks for the encouragement!! :D And congrats on keeping that weight off and working so hard! That's soooo great and I'm so happy for you! I'll be so happy if I get back down to 125, and will jump for joy if I can get back down to 120! He's trying to make me drink lots of water and consume a ginormous (within reason of course) amount of protein to help keep that lean muscle so I'm not always losing and gaining the same (in essence) bits of muscle mass.

I was pretty down about the whole inches gained/weight thing, but I *KNOW* I am much stronger than when we started. there is no doubt about that. So I know I can't give up, and would only feel worse if I did. Martin's also insistent on me only losing about a half a pound a week. I'm impatient, but it's not like I've been suddenly losing weight left and right, haha. It also sounds like that's about what you did over the 6 months anyway! We are so RIDICULOUSLY similar @_@
