Hi, Sarah here. Today was weigh day and I lost 1.5 pounds. I feel like that is not equal to the amount of starving and exhausting workouts I did last week. I am really hating my metabolism lately. I've lost 3.5 pounds since the beginning of January. That blows. But I will keep it up, I guess. This week I plan to avoid as much sugar as I possibly can, and white flour. I'll focus on protein and vegetables (barf) and do more cardio than strength training and see where that gets me. Today I blew it. I dropped Sam off at his grandparents house then I was planning on going grocery shopping, but instead I found myself in a bit of a fugue state and ended up at Applebees and I had ordered a plate of fried shrimp. It was DELICIOUS. I needed a splurge and now I'm motivated to do another week. Then I went to see the movie The Rite and did NOT order popcorn (yay for me!) I wrote a review of the movie on my regular blog. Check it out here.
Soldier on, ladies! Good luck on a new week!
I am 100% in agreement about the disparity between the number of pounds lost vs. the amount of torture we're enduring. It HAS to be the older, and therefore more sluggish/stubborn metabolism. I HATE IT. If I were doing this much starving and sweating against my will at age 30, I'd weigh 112 pounds by now.
