So I've had pretty good weight loss up until this week. I was surprised and angry to see no change in the scale this week. I know the scientific philosophy: muscle mass replaces fat. But it still hurts. I've still got a lot of weight to lose and the dieting component of the PCP (or any plan for that matter) is always so difficult for me. I have to say I also stuck to the diet very well this past week. I'll try not to let it get to me.
I got the exercises done early today. It really is so much more enjoyable to do them in the morning. The jumps were not as smooth as yesterday, but still managed to get through them without throwing the rope across the room like Scott. :) Squats are getting easier; I feel my quadriceps getting stronger. Pull ups are still a joke, and even the incline pull ups kill me. But bring on the abdominals. I love them. I have a diastasis recti (split abdominal muscle from pregnancy), so I really need to get them stronger. I'm shocked I can even keep up with the current abdominal exercises.
As for the new diet, although mine hasn't changed much, I found myself hungry all day today. I guess it doesn't help that it's that time for me when women scream at their husbands for anything they can think of, like not using a tissue when appropriate. Ughhhhhh Sorry to be gross, but I'm so hungry I can't think of any other example.

Ditch the scale! It got me so down in the dumps...I finally let it go (well I still have it, but it's just sitting there)! :)
YES! Don't check your weight for a month. It's MEANINGLESS and undermines motivation.
