Weigh In and Measurements

So do you want the good news or the bad news first?

Let's start with the good news ... I lost one more pound!!! Woohoo!  Go me, go me, go me :) I was very happy that I was able to lose another pound this week.  It is school vacation week and I wasn't on my regular routine.  So I'm impressed I stuck to my calorie counting plan.  

It is always good to start your day in a positive way ... so to find out I lost a pound was awesome!

Now for the bad news ... I gained an inch around my waist...GRRRRRR... Seriously ... WTF!!! I don't understand how I could lose weight but gain an inch in my waist.  (I'm not telling the whole truth...I lost a total of 3 inches in my thigh, calf and arm.  But gaining that inch in the waist was heartbreaking.)  My trainer and I were so upset.  He couldn't believe it.  I felt like someone knocked the wind out of me.  I wanted to cry, scream, and throw a tantrum in the middle of the gym.  (Don't worry I didn't.) My trainer and I made a new plan! 

1) Protein shake for breakfast, no carbs 
2) Four day lifting routine instead of three day
3) Lifting routine would include super sets 
4) Abs/Jumping Jacks in between lifting sets 
5) Do cardio after lifting instead of before 
6) Only eating for 12 hours of the day.  If I start at 7 am...I have until 7pm to eat dinner 
7) ...and NO SODA! 

I'm okay with most of this new plan...except for the soda.  I love my diet Coke.  I don't know what I'm going to do without it.  So I made a deal ... I can drink the mini cans of diet Coke Monday through Friday.  I will try this first before going cold turkey on soda.  Baby steps.
