Keep on keeping on

So we did really well for just about three weeks, maybe 3 1/2 with the working out.  Eating better was hit or miss but mostly better.  Then we both stopped, can't remember why though.  He worked out twice more so he's further along the list than I am so it'll be him getting to pick out the pizza.

My last day, not including Friday was back on February 12th.  He did two more days after that date although not in a row.  His last day was Feb. 18th.  Then last Friday when he got home from work he made me get up.  I said it didn't make sense to me since I knew neither of us would do anything over the weekend and I was right.  But still I got up and we worked out.

Then today after he got home he got me up again.  I really, really didn't want to get up but it's good that I did of course.  I can't say I'm glad, as he asked me if I was, but I feel good that he did it.  I'm a little sore but that's good as well.

Hopefully this means we'll get back in the swing of things again. 

One thing I am glad about though is that I didn't gain any weight in the last month.  I was fluctuating between 184 and 186 for all of those weeks of working out which was really frustrating.  Then after we stopped I actually lost 2 pounds down to 182.  Every time I weighed myself I was 182 until just over a week ago.  When I got back on I was back at 184.  On Friday I was at 184 too.  Then this morning I was at 183 even.  The others were point something but I can't remember what.

My jeans are fitting looser.  The two I wear are both size 16.  One is a skinny jean and low rise though and before I couldn't wear them without having a muffin top when standing.  Now there's no muffin top and they don't hurt to sit in.  My other pair is actually loose.  I have to wash them more often than I normally would just to firm them back up.  But I haven't lost enough to fit in my 14's yet.  That's at least another 10 pounds or so I think.  Maybe more.

Several years now into this blog and I haven't done at all what I wanted to.  That saddens me sometimes.  I was really hoping by having this I'd be more inclined to keep at it.  But obviously I haven't given up or I wouldn't continue to post from time to time about my ups and downs.  Or should I say post about the good, the bad and the ugly.

Right now I feel I'm in the good part.  My weight is at the low 180's still but I'm still not giving up.  I know I can do it.  I lost weight before back in '09.  I was down to 162 and still had more to go but I was looking pretty good and feeling even better.  So I just have to keep that in mind and continue working at it.
