I ended up getting a good run in last night about 4.5 miles! Then this morning I got up and did body pump and cycle at the gym. There is a new pump teacher, I think it will take some getting used to. I was doing lunges and got the worst pain in my spin near where it meets my tailbone. It felt like fire, and twitching at the same time. Almost as if I was being electrocuted. So weird. Immediately I stopped and just put away my weights. It wasn't a muscular type pain so I'm thinking it was a pinching nerve. I've never felt anything like that before though. I still went on to do cycle but I was very cautious of my back.
Weigh in was good. Officially 193.2 on the trainer's scale. 1 pound down from last week. I cheated yesterday and did a pre-weigh in here at the house, I was 191.4. So I was hoping to keep that number today... yeah that didn't happen but I'm still celebrating the pound loss. I got to thinking, about healthy weight loss. I think I read that you could lose 1% of your body weight each week is a healthy amount. So really for me that would be less than 2 pounds a week. And, you know a loss is a loss all these 1 pound weeks add up. Sure I'd love a 3 pound week or two but soon enough, I'll be at my goal weight. It might not be when I expected it, but it will come.
Oh and it's official on the gym scale - I am now down 65 pounds from when I started October 5, 2009. :)
Man I just wrote a long comment and it erased it! :/
ReplyDeleteGood job on the loss!! Do you weight your self at home w clothes on?? I know my scale at home is accurate.. and that's the one I go by. The one at WW is 3 pounds more than mine. But i am dressed, have eaten, ect.
Be careful with your back!! You don't want to get hurt before Tahoe.. take it easy.. if that is possible for you!! lol ;)
Thanks - my sneak peak at home was w/ clothes on randomly in the middle of the day. Both scales are fairly close to each other normally. But we had stir fry for dinner last night and while, I know it's very healthy it always makes me gassy and a little bloated. I'm guessing the rest of the weight loss will show up next week. :)
ReplyDeleteMy back was so weird this morning. I haven't had any more signs of pain, Praise God! I also took it down a notch in cycle. I won't be running tonight either. I might go back and do some yoga.
65 pounds down!! Way to go.
ReplyDeleteAnd one pound a week is nothing to turn up your nose at. It's one pound less than you were last week!
I like your ticker!! And progress photo! Whoot!
ReplyDeleteKendra - Thanks for checking out my blog! I love new readers and comments! You're right, one pound is nothing to turn my nose up at. I've been sort of "stuck" most of the summer. So I'm very glad the pound is gone. Progress comes in all forms and if you stick with it, 1 pound a week = 52 pounds a year = a whole lot of weight loss! :)
ReplyDeleteAdrienne - thanks :) I finally got around to updating a little.
