Wow! I have made it to May finally. I have been enjoying life right now and have been very excited about Spring finally arriving. This means I can go outside with out freezing. I can run out side and see the beach and just be outside. The euphoria a feel being outside is amazing and has been eagerly awaited.
So on with the details...Well I am at 140 pounds (85 pounds lost) now and have been for the month of April. I have more muscle definition all over but especially in my legs and arms. My abdomen is looking a lot better but still a struggle. At least I have gotten past wanting to quit and just get a tummy tuck. Slowly I am gaining better results. I just have had to learn lots of Patience. And that is not something that comes easy for me. I have been trying to get out and run as much as the weather permits, even if it is a little chilly. Otherwise the StairMaster is key and the treadmill a back up. I don't like using the treadmill because I run so different outside than inside. I still want to lose 20 more pounds to get to my goal weight but I am in no hurry. I am just taking my time and enjoying my workouts. But I was having a hard time with my food intake. I was not eating enough calories. My body did not like that and stalled my weight loss. So I have changed my eating habits to smaller meals more often. It has been working out fabulous. I am still eating what I need but spread out in the day. I have also cut back on meat consumption. Not necessary restriction on eating meat but on the quality. I don't want to waste good calories on crappy meat. I would rather have fish, shrimp or other seafood. I am going to try for running 3 miles every weekday in the month of May. Weekends are for me to rest which has been difficult to do but good for me.
