Yesterday went well- had a nice swim and then sat in the hot tub for nearly 30 mins as it was freezing outside and I did not want to get out.
Went to the Gym this morning and did my weights and 45 mins on the stair climber. I find doing my exercises first thing keeps me more energized and less likely to make excuses not to go
Streanghtwise I have been working on general toning on my body but been doing tons of Glute work. I want to keep a nice big butt ( think J-lo)...hopefully it will just be a little firmer and less saggy than it is now!
bigbluefurrymonster-A cup is a cup...
I use measuring cups and spoons to get exact amounts. Liquid cups and dry cups measurements vary slightly, but I just use the dry cup measures as they are soooooo close.
I have not been feeling at all hungry or full. I would say I am balanced. I eat and I feel satisfied, but bever get to the point where I feel starving befor I eat again. Its a rather nice feeling of control and is keeping me from even wanting to binge ( even though my portions seems so much smaller than what I have been used to eating in the past in fewer meals).

I fianlly changed my ticker to take into account my new loss goals and weight increases.. weight is still going up- 8 1/2 lbs now. Better now than later. If I had done 100 days of ssing and then seen the weight creep on so fast I think I would have been more upset than I even am now. Most of what I am putting on right now is pure water and fat
. Still going to give this 2-3 weeks for my body to balance out- It takes up to 4 weeks doing streanght training for real noticable results in body compostion. I suppose I should just stay off the scales... sometimes easier said than done! I am going to see the dietician again next week to retest my metabolism and see if I am in a healthier range.
More Haunted houses tonight!!!!!!! I adore haloween.... must keep avaoiding ALLLLLLLLLL that candy!
