A health, fitness, and weight-loss story.

When Pigs Fly

That's when I'll hit ONEderland, or so it seems.

I am a daily weigher, and I've been bouncing from 202.5 to 204. Up, down, up, down. It's getting annoying.

So, I'm taking action. I have heard of The Bod Pod and I need a vacation, so my son and I are soon going to hit the road for a two-day vacation which will include me getting a Bod Pod analysis.

The Bod Pod measures your fat/lean body mass and gives you a resting metabolic rate. It's extremely accurate. I don't need to do this, but I'm hoping that having a RMR unique to me--mine alone--will help me figure out a better caloric intake to get the weight to start coming off. Hubby and I both figure I'm probably around 40% fat--we shall see.

Hubby and I were also talking about it, and this year has been very rough on me physically. I had a lot of pain. I know I whined about it enough here, but it was really bad at times. That has to have had an impact on my health. Plus, I did have two surgeries in less than a year. So perhaps these things all add up.

Right now I am working on The FIRM again--the old videos, which I love, love, love. I'm shrinking a bit--which means I'm losing fat, but the scale isn't moving. We can really see changes in my body, more muscle definition which is great. When I first found The FIRM back last fall, after awhile my weight loss slowed but I lost inches.

So the point is I know I'm doing the right thing, I'm moving in the right direction, BUT:
I want to be in ONEDERLAND, Damn IT!
!!


Ha ha. Hopefully the info I gain from The Bod Pod will help me get there. For now, I'll just continue to do my very best every day and love every minute I'm FIRMing. That's living in the now. Onederland will happen.

Uh Oh

What is the worst thing that can happen to a weight-loss blogger? Having the fan on her computer quit. Oy!

I got everything transferred onto a portable hard drive before it quit, but it's toast. I guess we need to send it off. Hopefully it can be fixed.

Can you hear that? It's me hyperventilating. How will I live without my notebook??!!??

The worst part? My calorie counting software is on that computer. Today I was going on memory. I have to go find my calorie count book--it's here somewhere.

I can use hubby's computer, but it's awful. It's not awful, it's just not what I'm used to. Plus he'll be down here any second to bump me off. lol

So I'll be scarce until this thing gets fixed.

Breathe.
