Workout is done for the day.
I am feeling Iceman's pain...I too am feeling sluggish and unmotivated even though I am still doing what I am supposed to be doing and have zero confessions to make as of yesterday and this morning. :)
It was cold here this morning for the South. It was 42 degrees when I finally got my gear on. I went a little overboard with my double layer long sleeved t-shirts and heavy zip up fleece, gloves, scarf and hat...had to peel off the fleece about midway.
I walked one and ran 2.
Got home and did the Shred that I so did not want to do. What kept me going was that we have a christmas dinner with my bible study and spouses tonight and I want to be able to enjoy the food and a glass of wine. I had to self talk through the workout "Its only 20 minutes, its only 20 minutes" and then suddenly it was done and I was like "you did it, you did it".
I've eaten my uncle sams with a banana, and had a handful of almonds and an apple after the workout. Have drank 2-3 big glasses of H2O today.
I woke this morning with my vertigo symptoms. I got it a couple years ago and it was so bad I couldn't raise myself out of bed. I thought sure I was dying of a brain tumor and a trip to the ER revealed that I would survive but had vertigo. Luckily I still have some medication left from another brief bout last fall and so took a pill this morning and moving on with my life. Dehydration seems to be the trigger for it, so I will be extra cautious of my water intake today.
I agree with Iceman on the betrayal of the scale. After shedding 5 lbs the first two weeks, and not supposed to weigh until tomorrow, I tested myself, seeing as how my jeans fit me yesterday. It does not appear that my scale is agreeing with my jeans. Don't quite get that. But I persevere because obviously changes are happening if the jeans fit now...tightening in the right places at least, the scale will get on board eventually.
Goose Out for now.
Skip the scale. Use a tape measure to measure various body parts. When I was trying to get into that dress for Mike and Julia's wedding I didn't loose any weight but my thighs literally were 2 inches smaller after doing the kickboxing video for several weeks. And that is all I wanted, smaller butt and thighs. I don't care what the scale says if I get that.
