Unfortunately, not much to report

Some good news. I wore a pair of jeans last week that I haven't worn in YEARS!! So that was good news. However, those damn scales aren't moving. When my mom was doing a weight loss program a few years ago, she went to weekly meetings and talked about facing the white beast - the scales. The White Beast, indeed!

I'm trying to not get frustrated, but we're, what?, 8 weeks into this and I haven't lost 10 pounds. I really was not expecting this. It was not this hard the last time. We're working our asses off exercising, so I decided I'd better start eating less. I've been eating less this week hoping that will help. I don't see how it could hurt. I really haven't been eating that much as it is. UGH!!!!

Dana on the other hand. . . his thighs are rock hard. Mine are still flabby.

Hang in there, Amy, hang in there.

I LOST 2 MORE POUNDS

OK, I know it's not earth shattering, but when you've seen that number remain the same for the better part of 4 weeks, you get really excited when it comes down! So my total weight loss is probably a whopping 5 pounds. That's about a pound a week. . . it's a start.

I have noticed some of my clothes fitting better, too. I had on a pair of pants yesterday that I normally can't wear my high heels with. Well, I can now. If I don't, they drag the floor a little. That's what happens when your big butt isn't hiking them up! And the dress I'm wearing today. . . the front used to be longer than the back (again with the big butt) and today it looks more like it should.

And things don't jiggle as much as they used to. I don't notice things moving around so much when I run up the stairs. And I can also run up the stairs more easily now. Funny how a little exercise will do that. ;-)

Last week was not very good. We didn't eat the best and only exercised 2 times, I think. This week has been better. There's even a box of donuts in our office today, and so far I've managed to stay away from them. And since getting on the scales, I think I may be successful in staying away!!

I'm also encouraged because on The Morning Show this week they had a trainer on the show. She said that most people have hit a plateau in their New Year's Resolution and aren't really feeling anything from their workouts. Their bodies have gotten used to it. Not with P90X!!!! Dana and I are feeling it. Muscle confusion. . . it's a good thing.
