Our Strength Workouts for the Coming Month

source Note:  I am sharing what our routine will be, this isn't suggesting you do it.  Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program. First off, a very happy birthday to my bestie!  Wishing you an evening sans bra in front of the tube, enjoying your gifts and knowing you're loved! 🎂🎁 *** We have officially been doing strength training again for two full months.  I've got to admit, I'm proud of us.  It's hard going from none, being upset with how far your strength capacity has plummeted and discouraged to making sure you stick with it every week.  June was 2x week until the final week trying to build a base and then the final week and through July we went to 3x week.  This past week, I tried to up it for most exercises to 15 lbs.  I don't feel as strong as I did when we were doing it regularly but I'm getting there.  I know it's more important now than ever so we can maintain not just base strength but hopefully improve our b...

4 lbs down this week!!  That's on an Aunt Flo week too!  I cut my calories this week from my usual 2000-2100 to 1800-2000 depending on the day and what workouts were scheduled.  I honestly didn't feel the cut so I don't know what superfluous food I was eating to make sure I was getting enough calories but I don't miss it so that's always a plus.  I know this means next week's scale trip will likely be 1 or none and I'm okay with that since that's how it goes for both of us after a big loss.  I also know this isn't necessarily the end of my plateau, I just have to keep my fingers crossed this is what my body needed to get back into gear and only the next few weeks will tell so I'm cautiously optimistic.

Even better, I can change my icon because I've officially lost over 170 lbs!

Thanks for hanging in with me guys!

  7. Wow you seriously rock! 170 lbs gone and not even missing the calories. Thats amazes me..I seem to miss every little one I don't eat--ah ha there's my problem, lol. Looks like we are moving our house so maybe all that work will assist me in starting the ball rolling again. Had a few decent weeks of dropping and now stuck again.
