I really do not have much to tell on this front this week, since I was asleep last week.
I had my final weigh-in on Saturday, and was down .5 from Wednesday. Not bad since I was just sitting on my ass.
That also means I have no exercise to report. I got back in the gym today--concerned that any amount of work would make me cough, but it was all right. I also thought I might have fallen a little behind and would have to back up my program some. I decided to do what I could, and if I started coughing, just quit. But I made it through both classes again! 80 minutes straight. And honestly, it was not even hard.
Barry joined the class too so this was his first one. He was sweating way more than me way earlier, which I was really proud of. He says his legs are a little wobbly--mine are not even tired, which is very strange to me, but for some reason, now I can do that much riding and not have a bit of hangover from it. That is so cool!
So I have set a new goal. We go on vacation to Bonaire scuba diving on May 30. I would like to break that really ugly weight barrier I have, which is 22. 5 pounds less than I was on Saturday. That will likely be a full 50 pounds less than our trip last year. It will also open a whole new world to me-- our fall trips are kind of limited because I will not, over my dead body, put on a wetsuit--where would they find one to fit me? If I can lose that much, we will be able to consider places that have kinda chilly water in the fall. That will really feel like some kind of accomplishment to me
I think I can do it. If I do, that will be pretty damn serious weight loss, and I will require all new clothes. I am pretty sure no one will mind a bit if I buy all new stuff.
My secretaries asked me today how many sizes I have lost, and really the answer is none. Well maybe one, but it is not reliable anyway. I was kind of between two sizes and now the smaller one is fitting better. Most of my jeans are too big.
I can do this right? Surely I can.

Hell yes you can do it, look at what you have done so far. When you hit that plateau....don't panic, as soon as your body can, it will get back with the program.
I am proud of you.
Where there is a will, there is a way. Go for it! ! !
Your own results are your very own cheering group while all of us "out here" continue to support you on this endeavor.
Great job and enjoy Carol
Well without a calendar in front of me, I'm gonna say that sounds like about 2.2 pounds a week. SO HELL YEAH, you can do it. Nothing unreasonable about that goal at all.
Keep at it Paige!
Glad your feeling better...
You CAN do it!! You ROCK Paige!!
Wow, you are in shape if after being sick for a week you can do two spinning classes in a row and walk! I bow down to your superior dedication and fitness. It would have been so easy to just quit exercising after being sick and missing your regular routine for that long.
You can and WILL!
I know, the exercise is a killer, but it's the only way...:-(
You can do it! You will do it! You are awesome!
How you feel is a much better indicator than the number on the scale. If your clothes are fitting you better than you are definitely making progress. Good for you!
You totally can!!! Next, I think you should take a boxing class. Or learn how to box. However that works. Or buy it for your Wii. It's so hard. And such a great workout. Sugar Ray Leonard said so on The Biggest Loser.

You can do this! Good for you, and believe in yourself!
