Socializing is Fun

Yesterday I did go to the gym. I had a couple of times when my heart felt like it was beating fast but I felt well enough to go. No more excuses right... I did the bike for about 40 minutes and then did 35 crunches on the ab machine with 50 pounds on it! While I was on the bike I had a small chat with two lovely ladies. One of them was a retired OB nurse and the other is a teacher who is about to retire. I could've done more reps but I was so hot and sweaty and I felt a little rushed to go meet my folks for dinner. I skipped working on my arms and just took a shower and went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. I got the grilled steak salad....it was soooo good. And I was completely full after that.

My weigh in last night was much more satisfying, 306.9. I do honestly believe that eating sunflower seeds after working out was making me retain fluid for my weigh in. This morning it was 3 pounds less, so I'm happy with the way my body is dealing with my water weight...for now. I'm starting to feel a little worn down with my will power. I just feel so, blah all the time. I know I've lost 20 pounds which is so wonderful, I mean I never thought I would be this close to the 200's ever again. But, I just wish I saw faster results. I know it's a long and slow process that takes SO much hard work...but geez. I think once I've reached 299 I'll have a renewed vitality in my will power. Nothing better to help you with your resolve than to actually reach a goal! Maybe I've been feeling this way because I've had babies on the brain. I want to have a baby so badly...and I still have a year+ to wait just from weight loss. I need to pick myself out of this slump.
