    I had a rough day yesterday. In the morning at the gym couldn't finish my upper body routine, which made me feel weak. Then I went home and put on a flowing summer dress (probably the last one of the season) and looked in the mirror and I was happy that, from my breasts to my feet the dress fell straight! I was so excited and then I moved and I saw that the fabric "gathered" in my "apron of skin" whenever I moved. I am VERY overweight, and I have a lot of weight to lose. I have been worried about the "apron of skin" since the start of this and yesterday was the first time I really saw it. Sure my BELLY is deflating... but its still there and looks even worse imo. I tried to look for compression shorts to hold things in but while I have went down in size for most of my clothing (sometimes 2 sizes), to buy a pair of compression shorts I am back to buying 2x clothes. I just felt so defeated yesterday. Sorry for the rant gals. Nobody around here understands why these things got under my skin... all they think about is the numbers on the scale, but losing this weight is so much more to me! I figured you would understand.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes / No I ate well, and I went to the gym and tried to do upper body but I couldn't get t
    through my routine. For some reason I couldn't even finish two sets of exercises. I didn't even start the third set.

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I did quite a bit of cardio

    What would I have done differently? I Probably should have lowered the weight so I could get through the routine

    What is today's personal goals? Eat well, and cardio

    NEW GW at the end of the Summer 9/22: I want to be at 230 lbs.

    Sun - BodyPump, 15 mins treadmill
    Mon - Rest day
    Tues - Leg Strength Routine, 30 mins treadmill (including C25K W1D2)
    Wed - Nada
    Thurs - 40 mins of bike, (at least SOME) Upper body Routine, 30 mins on treadmill (including W1D3 of C25k)

    What is today's personal goals? check in and track - Went to the neurologist today. Had a MRI back in 2009 - degenerated disk. Fo the past few months, I've been waking up during the night and my left arm is numb. When I sit at my desk I feel a pain down my arm (pinched nerve), sometimes I can't even hold my neck up and I end up putting a cervical collar on. So...I finally made an appointment with a neurologist. He said hold off on weights, yoga, etc.. until he does more testing. Cardio - ellitpical, walking, swimming are fine. Should know what's going on in a few weeks. EMG is scheduled for next Tuesday.

    Hey Dahlia - Thanks for your support. The last few months has been a roller coaster emotionally with my family, but I am just proud I have been able to stick to the eating plan at the very least (Exercise on the other hand has been hit and miss) Yes, this is a lower goal weight than I started with, as I hit my goal weight early in August, but this is because I have decided to make smaller goals that I believe are achievable. I figured if I didn't make a goal it may make me disappointed in myself and that may derail my efforts. I believe you can do it! You are strong and have a great attitude and I am always here if you need a sounding board.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Didn't have one

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Stayed within my limits

    What would I have done differently? I should have did at least 30 mins cardio (my van is in the shop and can't get to the gym)

    What is today's personal goals? Eat well, at least 30 mins cardio

    NEW GW at the end of the Summer 9/22: I want to be at 230 lbs.
