I needed this reminder that just because the number on the scale hasn't moved much does not mean I haven't made progress! I get frustrated by it sometimes. I talked to my doctors about it at my check up and she basically told me I should count my calories of everything I eat...and eat less. It took all my effort not to roll my eyes at her. At least my personal trainer gives helpful suggestions...but it helps that I meet with her every week so she knows what I'm up to an everything.

I got home late so no bike ride this morning. But I'm going to do my strength training tonight so I'll still be getting a workout in. I'm also focusing less on my exact calorie count and more on what it is I'm eating. I often stay in my calorie count but still eat junk during the day. It's progress that I don't binge but I figure it's time to move to the next level!

I hope everyone has a wonderful end to their weekend!

Tai chi class yesterday was all seniors, i was youngest in class 58. Still fun until teacher said to me I have never had a woman expecting in class before! This isn't the first time someone has asked if i was pegnant but not for a long time. Most people in town i lived in know my age. My hubby said i should feel good he thought i was younger.

I wish i could have come up with a good come back. What would you all say? I just said its fat and he walked off and never even apologized. Lets just say i wont be back to that class, i felt shamed and humiliated and felt like i wanted to cry.

I wish i was a stronger person, i dont think his intention was mean but once he found out he was wrong he should have said sorry. What was ironic is that he was a older overweight man himself, just unlike me his weight was evenly distributed like most people.

I have hated all my life my extra 15-20 lbs is on my waist...ugh!!

Well on to today, woke up with headache and just resting until laundry. We leave for 3 day trip to see family in CA tomorrow.
