Day 3 and counting...("Getting back to ME" blog)

So what about those swimming wing things??? That'd be the only way I could do anything, hehe.

BTW, have you checked into doing a water aerobics class? I used to work with someone who did it and they LOVED it.

You could try flippers to get your legs going the right way. It won't be as much of a workout, unless you do more laps or something, but it will definitly help get your legs in rhythm. We used to use them in practice. They are fun, too! I felt like a fish haha

yup, they don't hold them yet at the aquatic center.. figure during summer they will...but the swim classes i want to take are all during the day which doesn't fly with my work schedule.

Just an update to say that "YES!" i AM down one whole size!!! i'm a bit surprised it's not more but that's not to say i'm not excited about keeping going and seeing where i can get to. Unfortunately, i haven't worked out in 2 weeks because of vacation and major OT at the job and all...but tomorrow, my interest is renewed to try and get down even another size or two if i can do it. nice to be able to fit in one size lower.. soon - no more lane bryant shopping for me!! that day will be a major stepping stone for me

only problem is that my top is shrinking but not my boobs (weird!!)...not a total complaint but i couldn't go down a full size on the tops.. hopefully soon tho.

K, how much weight is a whole size for ya? If it's not too personal of a question that is. I am trying my hardeest to go down a size and its sooooo tough for me.

For me, one size has always been about 7-9 pounds.

oh my goodness, i feel ya...have been trying so hard and right now i just teeter between 6-7...i'd like to be a solid 5-6...call me strange, but that's my goal...

but i do have a weird question...can you hold weight in your face? i mean, i'm sure that you can, but no matter what my weight is, i still feel like i have a 'fat' face...or maybe just a huge noggin...either way, i feel disporportional with my face/head...

i have no idea actually because even when i hop on the scale, i'm at the same weight, so the weight concept must not yet be working with my bod

Actually, if you are exercising, you will probably go up in weight, but you will go down in clothing size, because muscle weighs more than fat.
That is why they say that the scale is your worst enemy, because after you get on a good exercise program, you start looking good, then you get on a scale and get disappointed, because the weight is the same or more.

I told you to get a body fat scale Kristie, then you'd know how much fat you had lost! Good job btw.
