Well, after taking a week off from working out, I'm back at it. I ended my 3rd round of insanity. Towards the end of my 3rd round, I weighed myself...I keep track of all calories I burned and calories I take in...and to my surprise I gained 10 lbs since August leaving me feel quite disappointed. Disappointed in myself for now realizing I gained...my clothes still fit the same, and I was working my *kitten* off working out...and left me nervous. I have a BIG fear of gaining all the weight I've lost back. I never wanna go back to where I was.
I posted about my weight gain, and got lots of great advice and support. One suggestion was to get a heart rate monitor. I am so glad I got it! I got the polar ft4...I love it so far and love that it calculates calories I've burned...I feel like its more accurate. I wore it for fun this past week just to see how much calories I burn at work. More than I thought! Today, I wore it for my first workout in a week. I started my 4th round of insanity (I LOVE insanity! Makes me feel so good!!) And I didn't burn as much as I thought I did. I still burned quite a bit...325. And tonight I'm going to do Jillian Michaels "no more trouble zone" (amazing work out).
I am more determined than ever to get to my goal size, wt, and toned body. I've worked so hard this past year and half, I just wish I was at my goal by now...but as I feared this will be a lifelong mission. I am not naturally thin, so I will have to continue to dig deep and continue w my workouts and diet. But at this point I can't imagine not working out, it really does make me feel great and it's been a great stress reliever.
Also, I'm back to tracking my calories I consume here on myfitnesspal.
I'm excited to be back at it. I've missed my work outs. Lol. Can't wait to be a skinny minny!
