Lazy Day Sunday

It was so hard to drag myself out of bed yesterday, after a busy weekend, but a bowl of fruit and a coffee woke me up nicely so I could go to Jazzercise! 

It was definitely a kick-butt workout, and different than the songs we typically use since we had an instructor I'd never seen before. Some of the routines she used were boring, or I couldn't figure out how to make them more of a cardio workout, which I didn't really like... and I didn't really like the woman herself, she sort of rubbed me the wrong way somehow.  I'll just hope that I get back one of the other five instructors I've had and really enjoyed on Tuesday!

I somehow stayed way under on calories, even with the pastieda for dinner (cheese-only lasagna- not sure how to spell it)- I guess I didn't really have a lunch because I had good, small snacks at good intervals (some chicken lunchmeat, some string cheese, more fruit).  I also got to float around on a raft in a pool reading for a couple hours, which was fabulously relaxing.

I'm back up a pound again, which I really can't figure out. I've increased my exercise, been drinking loads of water, and my weekly net cals are well below the losing one pound a week rate - much closer to losing 1.5 pounds a week. People have been able to see a difference- one of my friends commented that I looked really good, and Dames has been seeing a noticeable difference, particularly in the shoulder area and back- but it's still so frustrating that I keep wobbling around 144/145 and don't go down! I started at 148, too, so it's not like I've even been able to enjoy hitting the 5 pound loss mark, let alone a ten or the 22 that I set as my initial goal to lose.

Ugh. Oh well, I'm going to keep at it, because even if the scale won't admit it, I know I am being about 200% healthier in the choices I'm making and the activities I'm doing, and feel better and thinner.  I think I might give the scale a two-week break, and then see if there's any difference if I'm not constantly checking, hoping that finally, finally, another pound will have disappeared.
