Day 3 -- 9/12/12

Here are the stats for today...

Ughhhh... What a shitty (literally) start to this day. Sprung out of bed when I woke up to find our old dog taking a dump in our bedroom. I'm not a morning person to begin with, so you can imagine how grumpy I was at 5:30 in the morning, cleaning this up. To make matters worse, a giant zit has exploded on my chin. Then, I went in to weigh myself fully expecting to have dropped, considering my near perfect days of eating, running and shredding. Nope! Now I'm at 144.7. At the end of last week, I was at 143.4. FML. So now it's 7 am and the day hasn't even really started and I really just want it to be over.

How I'm feeling: A bit crummy. Disappointed that the weight loss wasn't more today. After bobbing around at 144ish for almost a week now, I fully expected to drop. In the past my weight loss has happened in this manner: bob around at a weight for awhile, then suddenly I'll drop a pound or so a day for a couple days in a row, bringing me to a new weight where I bob around again. I felt quite skinny today inspite of it, though. The colourful jeggings I bought at the beginning of the summer feel quite loose and less like skintight leggings. So I'm trying to focus for the moment less on the weight and more on how clothes are fitting. Another factor is the 30 Day Shred video. Where before I was doing straight cardio in the last month, now I'm adding in weights and trying to work on muscle definition. That always has stopped my weight loss in the past, at least temporarily. Just have to stay motivated and keep pushing!
