Well, it is official, I went to WW last night for the 1st time in a long time and weighed in.  I have gained back everything I lost all year.  I was so depressed but what else can I do but move forward and try again.  At least I have kept up with swimming twice a week.  Its just so darned frustrating.  I know what I need to do, I have what I need to do it, but do I do it, no of course not.  I am trying again but then I think about the upcoming holidays and there never really is a good time is there?  I guess as long as we don’t give up thats good. 

Well, I just finished my second workout with my trainer. It’s about 1 hour after burning 1334 calories (yes, you read that right) and I’m already sore. She KILLED me today! But, killed in a good way (grin)…

I was getting discouraged because my scale has only showed a 2 pound weight loss in the almost 3 weeks I’ve been on this new diet/training plan. I’ve been really workout out hard and I expected more. But, my trainer told me today to not look at the scale for the first month because a lot of time lean muscle tissue weighs a little more and that thends to disappoint people.

So, I’ll put that scale away and try not to look each morning as I have always done since the beginning of time. And, I’ll keep going with this working out and diet plan.

More updates soon!

…in circles. And here I am…AGAIN…right back where I started. Well, pretty much. I think I’ve managed to keep two of the originally lost pounds off. Pathetic. :duh:

Oh well, at least I’ve never quit trying, if there’s any consolation in that. I weighed in yesterday at my doctor’s and was exactly the same as I was six weeks ago. Grr! He’s been weighing himself when I do, and of course, he was down 4 pounds. So he suggested a wager to see who would lose the most weight between now and my December appointment. We’re both very competitive, and obviously, the amount of the wager isn’t much incentive, but I’m determined not to let him win! So, we shall see if that helps the motivation.

I did great last night, having some raw veggies and a bit of salad dressing in place of something less healthy. And I got all my water in yesterday, something I’ve been struggling with.

Anyway, I’m still here. ::waving:: Just thought I’d check in. I weigh in again on Oct. 24. Here we go again…………
