I didn't weigh in yesterday. It was a "bye week".
I also haven't exercised since Monday's aerobics class. :( But I will be at my aerobics class in the morning!

It took me 5 months to lose my first 20 pounds (June-November) and it's taken me 7 1/2 months (November to present) to lose this second 20 pounds. Hopefully this trend doesn't keep up; I'd like to lose the next 20 by the end of the year. Good vibes sent my way this year are greatly appreciated. ;)

230.6!!!! (-1.5) 

I've lost a total of 40.4 pounds!!!

I've been doing my classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings (just haven't been blogging about them), in case you were wondering...

Tonight I went to the gym and did intervals on the treadmill. Not my 1 minute switches, but 3 min walk @ 4.0MPH/1 min jog @ 6.0MPH. I was tired. It was late. It was all I could do. But I did 6.0 instead of the 5.3/5.4 I had been doing. I need to get back on the treadmill more often. Maybe that will help me get past this 230lb wall I just haven't been able to get over.

This morning in my aerobics class, I broke a resistance band. Made me feel strong. And a little embarrassed.

I am struggling. I lost 35 pounds fairy quickly, but in the last few months, I've just been hovering around 232-235lb. I cannot get below 230! I don't feel as though I'm plateauing in my food/exercise, but I guess I am, according to the scale. Even this morning, I weighed myself and I had gained a pound since Wednesday. I'm just yo-yoing and I don't like it.

232.1 (+/-0)

Next week's going to be a good one!

I'm not weighing in this week because it's a "bye week". Too bad because I wanted to see how I did this weekend. I did pretty well as far as eating while I was on my trip. :)

Tonight I went to the gym with the hubs. It was too late for me to do intervals (I was too tired), so I just walked at 4.0MPH at an incline for 30 minutes. Then I walked home too.
