Week 6 Recap

Yet again, I lost nothing, gained nothing this week. While I like seeing a 3 pound loss in one week, I don't like having the weeks before and after showing nothing. I'd rather see a consistent 1 pound loss per week. I even exercised every day this week. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to try and jump start my weight loss again. So we'll see if there's any improvement next week. Part of my problem is that I tend to be much more relaxed with my eating on the weekends and I know I should not be doing that. It probably wouldn't hurt to work out on the weekends too. I know 5 days a week is good, but maybe 6 or 7 would be better. At least in the beginning, until I've lost a good 30 pounds or so. But I don't always have the time to get on the treadmill on the weekends, so we'll see what works. I can definitely tell a difference in my jeans though. So that's a nice feeling. A couple of pairs used to be rather snug and they fit well now, and the ones that used to fit well are pretty loose.
So I'm still at a 13 pound weight loss. And I'm happy with that, but I'm really ready to start seeing more.

I think 13lbs is really good! I have a hard time working out 5 days a week much less 7. I'm really trying to get 4 days in consistently. Then I'll work on a 5th! Once I've lost a few more pounds and really have this work out schedule going well I"m going to add in pilates twice a week. My plan is to get in pilates 3/wk on top of the elliptical 4-5 days a week. Pilates is so good for your core and I don't have to do it for very long for it to start working.
