30 Days to Lose Weight - Week 1

Well a week has passed and not only have I not lost weight, I actually gained a pound. A week of working out, watching what I'm eating, and drinking nasty lemon water, and I gained a freaking pound. This is so unfair! I think that little gremlin bastard in my scale is getting a real kick out of this right now.


Don (my husband) says I am probably just gaining muscle since I've been working out and muscle "weights more than fat." While I certainly appreciate the sentiment, I just don't buy it. You see, my waist hasn't gotten any smaller either, and muscle certainly isn't more fat than fat.

I haven't been perfect, I'll admit. I had a coke and some chips the other day, but come on. I can't be perfect all the time!  And, I was doing really well with the Jillian Michaels' DVD too. At least until I hurt my foot. Yes, my foot. I actually pulled a muscle on the top of my foot. I din't even know I had a muscle there. It's all the damn jumping jack, jump rope, but kick cardio that did me in. So now I'm doing my jumping jacks  hopping on one foot and looking like a moron, but I'm still doing it!

I'm not giving up, just venting little. Hopefully, in another week I'll have good news. But as things are looking right now, I'll be wearing a tankini on the beach.
