Low Key Day

So today was pretty low key. I didn't do too much. I went over to my sister's and worked out with her. I ended up taking a nap today, because I've been waking up at around 6 am. It sucks. I think I might take a sleep aid today to at least allow me to sleep in a little. Other than that it was a normal day.

I did weight in though!! And I've lost two pounds!! Super happy about that. I did all my other measurements too and for the most part they all went down. My calves went up but that's because they are pure muscle surprisingly. My upper arm didn't change either this time but I carry most of my weight in my middle not my arms and legs really.

The one I was most excited to see go down was my hips by a whole inch. I though that was pretty great but at the same time I worry that I'm losing my butt and I won't look as good after all the weight is gone. Oh well that's not something I can control. My body will lose the fat where it wants to.

My waist to hip ratio went up and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I'll have to research it and find out later. Pretty happy about the results so far. I need to take a full body picture of me currently before I lose too much more weight. There aren't any of me recently.

Well I'm headed off for the night.

Remember: You are beautiful

DVD Workout and Swimming

Today was pretty normal. I went to my mom's and sister's place and did a workout from Walk Away the Pounds. It was a pretty easy workout. I figured they would want something a little more gentle today. Tomorrow will be a rest day, but they are planning on going swimming. We did go swimming today as well after my niece got back from her first day of school.

She's pretty smart so I'm sure she will do well in school. I got my steps in today as well. I have been having some concerns about the amount of weight I have to lose and the extra skin I may have. I hope I don't have much if any, but I am trying to come to terms with the fact that I might have to deal with having at least some extra.

Losing almost 100 pounds is a massive transformation and I know some days are going to be hard. I'm trying really hard today to not let this fear stop me, but it's hard. I'm not going to give up though. I know once I get there I won't regret it. Well that's all tonight.

Emotionally Stressful Day

Today wasn't too bad, but it was emotionally exhausting. I helped my mom with some of her errands then I helped my sister with one of hers. They took a while longer to do than I thought they would, but they weren't too bad. Just for some reason I was emotionally exhausted after. I am way under my calorie range for today because I ended up taking a pretty long nap this afternoon to recharge.

I got my steps, but I forgot to weigh in and Mondays are my weigh in days. I did do a workout with my mom and sister today though which was nice. I'm going to be over there tomorrow for another one if I feel up to it. Tomorrow may be a rest day for me. Right now I just feel drained and exhausted. I will probably be going to be soon after I try to eat at least a small snack. At the moment I sit 1176 calories below my range. I probably won't hit my range. Well that's all for tonight.
