Well I made it to another weigh in. Surprisingly, I lost yet another pound. Pretty good I think since I had a bad eating week.
I wonder if starting my workout had anything to do with it? I started working out three days a week for 30-40 mins. I did the elliptical one day, walked the dog the next, and then wrapped it up with riding the stationary bike. It felt good, but I cannot image it helped me lose anything.
A friend told me, that in order to loose weight, you need 50 mins. of cardio training five days a week. A little much for me right now, so I just started taking baby steps. My three day a week workout is all that I can handle right now.
I’m also learning first hand, that working out is helping me with my stress. Which I have had a lot of lately. It doesn’t take it away, but it helps me from feeling depressed. So even if I’m not losing weight, I’m keeping depression at bay.
I’m sure in the long run, all will be OK, both mentally and physically. But it will take some time to get there. I’m not a patient person, but I’m doing my best to learn.
With that being said, since Wednesday I have had a bad eating week, so lets hope Sunday will give me a clean slat and Wednesday will be a good weigh in.
