OMG!!! So... I worked out 5 days this week and GAINED .4 ounces. I know it sounds silly but I was not supposed to GAIN any weight this week. I worked my butt off in the gym... this was my first full week at the gym since I started trying to lose weight and I expected to LOSE!!! I am super disappointed and trying not to let it discourage me from continuing. I made great food choices and did not have any moments of weakness. I went to the gym 5 days and pushed through soreness and fatigue and did not give up. I was so proud of myself and so excited to get on the scale yesterday and I GAINED!!!! This is bananas... and I am so blown. My friend said it's just that I am starting to build muscle (finally) and I need to stay away from the scale because it's turning me into a looney tune (lol). I think he is right...the scale can be dangerous if I focus too much on the numbers and not enough on the way my clothes are fitting and how my body feels. I just don't know how else to accurately gauge my progress other than getting on the scale. Maybe I should take his advise and just keep working pay less attention to the scale. It's so tuff to see the numbers go up, even if it's just a smidge. Maybe this is a good lesson for me... it aint about the numbers because I KNOW I am doing what I should be doing. I am so committed and I don't want to lose sight of the actual goal which is optimal health. I think I am way too wrapped up in the numbers on the scale.

Last week was a 7 day free trial at the gym... I signed my name on the dotted line last night and officially joined!! So it's on... I have full access to the entire gym and I am not going to waste the opportunity to work out everyday... My goal is to maintain a 5 day schedule, right now I am alternating between a Body Pump class whihc is all weights and Zumba. I also do a 15-20 minute cardio warm up when I do Body Pump. I am not sore anymore... so I think it's time to pump it up. I am going to see what other classes I can add to my schedule... I refuse to have another week where I gain (I can't help it!!) Lets see what happens this week... fingers crossed.
