I'm not happy about this slight increase, but what can I do. I ate low-calorie (but not too low), I worked out 5/7 days, I stuck to my eating plan to a "T," I got adequate sleep every night and a little relaxation every day, I tried not to stress, etc. I even gave myself "100%" for the week, which rarely happens (except for the last couple of weeks). I feel trimmer, and I even took pics of myself yesterday, because I was feeling like I loved my body and how fit I am. So it's a bummer that I couldn't achieve any weight loss this week.
However, I took my measurements, because I told myself before that if I do everything right and the scale doesn't move in my favor, I'll measure myself. I normally don't take my measurements often - no more than once a month. It's been only 3 weeks, and I've lost 5.8 lbs, 3.25" (on 5 places of my body - waist, hips, chest, and both thighs), and my body fat percentage has gone from 32.5% to 31%. I was really excited to lose 1" in both my waist and hips. I honestly didn't think my measurements had changed, because I haven't seen favorable results there for a while.
I'm just concerned that I'm not getting anywhere with weight/fat loss anymore. But at least I'm almost 6 lbs lighter, and not getting steadily heavier like I was. I believe the 0.2 lb gain is a weight fluctuation of some sort. I highly doubt I gained any fat last week. I wish I could lose more weight, but even if I stay at this weight, it's worth not getting bigger. I will continue my eating lifestyle, and I'll continue to workout to get fitter and (hopefully) more toned.
Speaking of workouts, Mon-Wed-Fri I did weight/strength training: abs, triceps, and shoulders/back on separate days. I'm so happy to have enough exercises that I can work 1-2 muscle groups in one workout, rather than my whole body. I like doing it that way better, because it takes longer to get back around to the muscle group again, so it has more time to heal, and it also gets worked more during the workout, because more time is spent on it. Plus, it got boring doing the same exercises every other day or so. I get my exercises from BodyBuilding.com.
Tu-Th, I jogged. Yep, like in my last mid-week post, I transitioned from walk/runs to jogging. Not that either is better than the other. They both have their good points, and honestly, walk/runs are more enjoyable for me. But running constantly is more of an achievement for me personally - something I want to tackle and get better at. But what made me make the crazy decision of going from 2 min running intervals to jogging for 18 min straight was because of pulling my hip with power-walking. I take large strides when I walk, especially when I'm walking for exercise, because I'm trying to complete the distance in the shortest amount of time as possible. And I'd like to see my times continue to improve, rather than get slower, because I'd have to reduce the length of my stride. So I figured I would jog the whole distance, because I take shorter steps when I jog, and would (hopefully) continue to make good time. So that's what I did. I finished in about the same amount of time as when I walked/ran - just a little bit faster - so I was happy.
Anyway, onward and upward (or actually, hopefully downward) for this week. There's a fun running challenge I created that starts today. If you're interested in improving your running ability, stop on by the challenge. Today's the last day to join.
Have a good week, and good luck!
