Today started out pretty good. I got the kids up and ready and off to school. I was in a good mood when I got home and got ready to work out. Then I weighed myself. Lately I HATE weighing myself. It is so frustrating! I am not losing my dreaded belly fat and I am not losing any weight. I have been working out for over 3 months now so I feel like the pounds should start dropping. They are not. I am not expecting to lose a ton of weight every day, but I would like to see the scale going in the right direction. It is not. I should just throw the scale away. But, then I would just find somewhere else to weigh myself, so what's the point?
I have been having smoothies a lot so I was hoping that would help me lose weight. I have been so careful to not have tons of calories or too many fruits in my smoothies because I know that I wouldn't lose weight that way. I have had lots of spinach, celery, and water in the smoothies (along with a lower calorie fruit like apples or pineapple to sweeten it just a bit). But, I am just not losing the weight. I have also been cutting back on the high calorie snacks and treats and I feel like I should be seeing some results. I am hoping that my body is just getting used to the cleaner eating and once it gets used to everything then I will start losing weight. So, I will give it a couple more weeks and if I don't see any results then I may have to go to strictly having water. That should do the trick. :o)
Today's workout was an ok one. I was a bit distracted by the fact that what I am doing as far as diet and exercise doesn't seem to be working, but at the same time I was more determined to burn as many calories while working out as possible. I made it through the workout and then had a smoothie. Now I am ready to tackle the laundry and other cleaning that needs to be done before the kids are home from school. Some days there is just not enough time to get everything done. Sadly, any cleaning that doesn't get done today will wait until tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be a great day!
