Slowly but surely (still)

Well I am down about eight pounds, I'm suppose to be excited but I'm getting frustrated.  I honestly feel like I have lost more.  I think of what do I need to do different and what I've done right. First of all, I workout about 5 days a week, two of which is my weight class which I really do enjoy.  The other days is cardio and I'm trying one day a week where I do a 3-4 hour workout.  I've been eating pretty well with a meal or two a week that is nonpaleo.  I've cut back on dairy and fruit.  I do still need to drink more water.  Pretty soon I'm going to count calories.  Ugghh, anyways.  Now is the time I need to concentrate on how good I feel rather than numbers.  However, I have my physical next month so I am very curious how my labs will come back.  Husband tells me not to get my hopes up because my numbers really aren't bad to start with.  Although all are in normal range, my glucose could come down and my HDL could go a little higher as they were 96 and 50 last I checked.  

Most importantly, I tried Zumba today.  I lasted 30 minutes and couldn't do it anymore.  I had down an hour of cardio and hour of weight class before and I just couldn't finish zumba.  Maybe I didn't want to cause I did another half hour of cardio.  I didn't realize how fast pace it was so I was really falling behind.  Not sure if I will try it again but that half hour was quite a workout.  I was probably making it harder than it really is due to my lack of dance and coordination skills.  I am going to push myself like crazy this week...

Slowly but surely

As of last week my weight is down a total of seven pounds!  It's so slow but I have also been terrible about eating fruit, way too much fruit.  So I am trying to cut down to see if that speeds things up.  However it's getting to be that time of the month so I'm sure Ill gain or wont lose this week.  I've continued to go to the weight lifting class about twice a week.  After the first time, I was miserable.  I couldn't do stairs let alone hardly walk.  But after about five days I was back to normal and have gone back three more times.  I get a bit sore but not to the extent its affecting my everyday life.  I can almost say I enjoy going to class.  My short term goals need to cut back on fruit and maybe even start a food journal (still have one when i did WW).  Not only can I track but gives me ideas for things to eat. For the most part I and my husband have been doing pretty good.  His weight loss is a lot fast, like 20 pounds this month!  Hard to look at my 7 but just need to stay positive.  I also think I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel of winter.  It has been sooo harsh, who can be active when its thirty below out.  So once it gets nice out I'll be more active with walking the dogs and doing yard work.  I cant wait!!!  So long for now....
