Stuck in a rut

So I’ve been going to my exercise classes twice a week and I’ve been walking on my own over the weekends so I get exercise three days a week but the scale hasn’t budged. So I checked my measurements and they haven’t changed at all. Am I doing something wrong? I mean I’m giving it my all in my classes, I’m eating good, I’m the model for good weight loss yet the scale won’t move. I’m forever to be destined to look like this.

I know there is still weight to be lost. If I still jiggle when I walk I can still tone up more. Where I carry my extra weight is right in front of my abs. So it looks like I’m pregnant. Now I don’t look that far along but it’s what it looks like.

So to resolve this problem I’m going back on a super strict diet and exercise plan. (well it’s not that strict). I had lost a good bit of weight/toned up while doing it so I’m going to do it again. I call it the 70 day plan. More details to come later right now I have errands to run and a plan to go into action! *Flies away like superman*

Boo!

So I think that by changing my job from a very physically demanding work environment to a not so physically demanding work environment has ruined me. I gained back 5 pounds that I had worked so hard to loose. That and I have been pigging out like crazy. At my new job the girls I sit with have a potluck once a week. I think these are the days that I tend to go kinda crazy because the food is better than the healthy options I usually bring. Well it’s not that the food is better, but they seem to always be comfort foods.

I guess the best thing I can do is kick up my exercising at home and really watch what I eat. I want to think that the extra weight is muscle but at the same time, I have slacked off on my exercising. I actually went a full week without doing any extra workouts, other than actual work. So this is me hoping to stick with exercising. I usually feel better when I do so why don’t I? It’s not that hard to walk on the treadmill and watch tv. Ok well I’m going to bed because sleep is good for your body too. =@)

98 lbs?!

Today at work some people made the assumption that I weigh 98 lbs. I don’t know if they were being serious or not, but it hurt my feelings. I know I should maybe take it as a compliment, but I just can’t. I have been working very hard on looking ‘healthy’ and 98 lbs on my 5′3″ body is not healthy.

I swear I’m not skin and bone enough to look like I weigh that little. There are girls skinnier than me at work but I do weigh less. Does that even make sense? They are 5′7″ - 5′8″, so their weight range at 135-145 is healthy, I think. Well, either way they look fit.

Should that comment bother me? I don’t even know, but now I’m going to bed. A good rest will help my body to take on whatever is thrown my way tomorrow!
