It is Mamavation Monday time again!What did I do last week? I don’t want to say I got better as I still have something but I am feeling much improved over this time last week. I will take it. I also did two twenty minute elliptical work outs. Not a lot but it was the end of the week and I was happy I got them in. I also noticed I was really booking it during my Friday work out time. It is kinda hard to go fast on an elliptical but I was at a top speed for myself. I sure felt (and still do) that work out in my butt!
In other news, I fit in a smaller of jeans on Saturday. I then realized on Sunday they had a hole in them (not from me wearing them!!) so I must fix that before I can wear them again but I wore them Saturday! I bought them as a motivation about a month ago off a clearance rack. It was nice to get them on, button them and realize I could breathe in them!!
Since the scale has not been moving lately, I am giving credit to my Earth Footwear shoes. I have a “dressier” pair that I wear to the office just about every day that I go into the office. I definitely think … well know by those jeans fitting that they are helping shape my legs and butt! woohoo!
My challenge this week: I plan to get work out with Squeaky, my elliptical, this week three to four times. I am going to see if I can keep my speed up.
Results so far: I am down 0 lbs since last Monday. This rut was really getting to me but those two good work outs and the one I had yesterday helped. Those jeans fitting really helped my motivation. Even if that scale isn’t moving … I am!
I am so frustrated with my scale not moving either! That is so great that you fit into your smaller jeans! I am so close but not quite there yet for mine. Keep it up!
Good job for stepping up the intensity of your workout – hopefully that will help budge the scale. Do you take measurements too? I hear that's helpful when we're in a scale # slump.
Try not to focus on the scale but focus on how you're feeling. If things feel a little loser, whip out the measuring tape, you could be losing inches. Keep focused and don't give up.
Woohoo with the skinny jeans! That is awesome! I agree with the other ladies about not focusing on the scale and I tell that to myself but I really, really struggle with it. Keep it up and things will get better! (at lest that's what I tell myself)
Right on for the smaller pants! Now let Mr. Squeaky do his thing. Have an awesome week.
Doood, if you are losing inches, who cares about the weight. XXOO
