Week 12...

I know I am posting late...but it's been a heck of a week.  The positive results is that i lost 1.8 pounds.  Mark is not completely happy about it as he says i should be losing 3-5 pounds a week.  So he is telling me to eat more snacks.  However, i really don't get hungry.  At work I do, but then all i want to eat is junk food or candy.  When I am at home, i really don't get hungry, unless it's dinner time and all I want to do is eat bread...not good.  However, I did have a good week of workout, including Saturday's Beginner's Boot Camp.  Sometimes I wonder if they forget we are all beginners...

On another note, very stressed this week.  With my father falling in the kitchen and breaking oven glass door with his head, requiring 5 staples and 3 days in the hospital.  Then with a good friend in Puerto Rico in the hospital for 3 days with a stomach bacteria that almost caused him renal failure.  Finally, believe it or not, stressing over going home for the holidays, and making sure I don't gain...even if i don't lose any pounds...i want to make sure i don't gain.  This is almost impossible with a mother that enjoys cooking and making things she knows i like.  What to do...what to do...if i say NO she will get offended...even though she knows I am dieting...she always says one or a little will not affect me.  In reality it does, because then I want more.  I rather have nothing to make sure not to get my taste buds going.

Well til next time!!!

Week 11...

This week was hard...going back to work after a week off.  I did my monthly measurements...lost 2 inches on my waist...3/4 inch on my arms....1/2 inch off my butt...nothing on my thighs...overall good.  However, I must eat more.  My metabolism needs it.  I am kind of stuck with losing pounds, but I continue working hard.  Had a good workout with Javier on Monday.  A killer workout with Mark on Wednesday (he continues to make it harder) so much that I could not exercise on Thursday nor Friday.  However, i did wake up Saturday morning to go to Norma's Boot Camp.  Felt good but very tired towards the end.

Feeling kind of sad this weekend.  Many things on my mind.  But I refuse to give up on this challenge.  I am losing little by little and i'm okay with that.  I just get frustrated with the constant pain on my leg/foot.

Let's see what this week brings.
