arrival...

wow, the much anticipated arrival of 149 on the scale took place this morning.  146.8 on the new scale, 149 on the old.  i feel great.  even laying in bed this morning, i felt less of my belly, which is wonderful.  i still have a way to go, but there’s something about passing this hurdle.  i was stuck at the 150-152 range for a long time.  even with the holidays, i maintained but then came back down only to about 150 and couldn’t budge lower.  then along came lent.  i really think that is what did it.

giving up junk food and not being specific about only one thing, only chocolate, only french fries, only ice cream.  that would have helped, but being so broad has really had me focused on eating healthy.  i’m already pretty good at watching portion control, but when you are focused on portion control while removing the really calorie-laden nutrient-lacking junk foods, you end up consuming a lot fewer calories.

i had my session with brent this morning.  he had me do the leg press, leg extensions, abduction and lunges in a row.  that was tiring.  then onto upper body.  seated chest press, row, chest press on ball, chest pull down, assisted dips, assisted chin ups, tricep push downs, bicep curls, vibration plate squats, vibration plate plank.  exhausting!
