I randomly got up to weigh myself today. Wasn't even thinking about doing it until after my period, but it somehow just happened. I think in the back of my mind I thought that any HUGE weight gain I could attribute to my period being due to start at, literally, ANY second. However, I don't feel that kind of bloated. It says I am 135.8. So, I've gained a little over 7.5 pounds. Which if I am bloated really is less than that. But it did freak me out some. I am going to cut back and lose some of this. Just eating around 1600, and if I'm truly hungry then I will eat a snack. I want to be able to listen to my body and eat when its hungry, but it's so tricky because I have a tendency to binge when I do eat. It's a tight rope thing for me.
I got shoulders out of the way. Did frontal raises, side raises, shoulder shrugs, presses, v push ups, and some other exercise I can't remember what it's called. I still have some "25 of December" to get done with squats and lunges and crunches. I usually don't get involved doing those things because they never give you a rest day for your muscles to recover, but this isn't that vigorous so I went with it. Then I want to get in two miles every day, with making up yesterday that I didn't do since the kids were home. So, I will need to do a half a mile extra everyday.
That's my game plan: do the muscle group of the day, and two miles. Eat when I'm hungry, but strive for slightly below what I need to maintain. That way I lose some, but slowly. There is a part of me that wants so badly to just fast and lose it before Christmas. But I want recovery more, and I'll just have to go through this bloated process all over again. Not worth it. If I build up some muscle then I will have that slenderness but have the strength. I just keep telling myself strong is the new skinny. haha
I was reading the other night in that book I got, and I had a response to it that I will probably share when I have more time. It is amazing how God chooses to minister to me. Naked in the bathtub, completely humbled.
Ok, I should get some other things done.
