Hello Everyone!
21 03 2008I was just logging in my daily log in on WW.com when it hit me! My blog!! I haven’t blogged in…hmmm….I can’t even remember the last time I blogged. Do I even remember the site URL to log in to? Wow, this is bad! My WW peeps are going to hate me!!
So anyways, sorry for my little blog vacation. I seriously don’t know what happend. Just completely forgot about it I guess. Nothing new to report really. I was down 2 pounds this week from last week. Before you get too excited, I was up before that from my original weight. I’ve been doing pretty good this week though I think. A little screw up here and there but nothing too major! I’m hoping I will be down again next week but as TOM will be coming to town, I highly doubt that.
Found a new gym hobby. A trainer there suggested that I try this stair stepper. It’s not a regular stair stepper. It’ s more like a mini escalator that you climb. The trainer said it is their best weight loss machine at the gym. Anyways, besides a trainer, a friend also suggested it. She is up to an hour at level 8. She told me not to get frustruated if I can only do 5 minutes at a low level to begin with because that was how she started. (and coming from this teeny tiny woman sounded good) Well, I actually ended up doing 20 minutes at level 4 which I was pretty excited about. BEST WORKOUT EVER!! It was really hard but it felt so good when I was done. And it felt even better when I logged in to WW.com and it was 4 activity points for 20 minutes of exercise. I am going to try to do 20 minutes on level 4 for a week and gradually bump up the amount of time before I bump up the level. Pretty excited about that!
Nothing else to report really. Oh, I do have a question for anyone who might know the answer. “The Pill”. I have heard from numerous sources that it makes you gain weight when you go on it, and/or it makes it harder to lose weight. True? False?
I mentioned to my Dr. at my last visit that I was a little bummed that I was having a hard time losing the rest of the baby weight. He said “many women experience weight gain and have difficulty losing while on the pill”. I don’t know if it’s true and he didn’t say it was a scientific fact but definitely something I think about. My own personal experience? I was off the pill for 2 years before I got pregnant with each of my boys and I was able to lose additional weight that I had difficulty getting rid of while on the pill. In fact I was at my lowest weight since high school between the two boys.
The Pill: TRUE!!! That’s where I hit a plateau a few months back… talk to you dr. about other types.. maybe some are less likely to cause weight gain than others?!??!
