A New Approach, Same Method

Alright, so this morning I weighed myself and almost burst into tears. I've gained weight!!!! What the fudge monkey balls? So I headed on into kickboxing class, which was a real treat because I never get the chance to go on Mondays. So anyway, I was in a bit of a funk, but class got me back up to speed. The last two classes have been more of a boot camp with strength training and muscle conditioning that kickboxing. I thought I was going to die at first, but now I'm getting the hang of it. So after class I went to talk with the instructor about what's going on with my body. How can I be gaining weight when I'm doing the right stuff to tone it up. Well, to my surprise, although I think I knew this somewhere in the back of my head, I'm gaining muscle. Since I've lost a little off my waist and so much body fat I'm making progress. He says I need to kick the scale like a bad habit and pay attention to inches and body fay percentage. If I keep looking at the scale, I'm going to get discouraged. So yeah for me for knocking off body fat.

If you've been keeping up with my weight loss status then you'll notice I changed the "My Stats" format and added an "Overall Goal" section. Also, the measurements have fluctuated a bit after looking at my written journal. Some of the measurements were off. So now I'll be measuring my bust, waist, hips, and thighs. I love my hips and thighs though, but what I wouldn't give to get rid of these breasts. I know it is going to take a lot of upper body work to help this area. I would like to at least go down one band size. Just one, I'm not asking for all of it to go. I know the hubster wouldn't be happy with that one, lol. But yeah...I'm still hyped and focused!!!!
