Weight Plateau !!!

I have been weighing myself everyday for the past month.  And for the past 2 weeks my weight has been at that point where it does not want to move ... This is hard for me because I go to the gym everyday for cardio work and I meet with Alexa twice a week for weight training.  I know I have been losing body fat because I weighed in and took my measurements with Alexa this morning.  I feel that my legs have been building muscles because they are bigger than normal.  As far as everything else .. that is a work in progress.

I have been working with Alexa twice a week this whole month .. and for the next few months I will be working with her 3x a week.  I had told her I was going to write about her in this particular blog so I'll try not to embarrass her .. her positive attitude helps keep me motivated to do my best to work through this weight plateau ... yes it is upsetting that I am almost at my goal .. but not quite there yet.

A training session with her consists of her singing at least 5 minutes throughout the session .. its hilarious but this help keeps me focused on my squats and "thrusts" .. like I mentioned in my other blog entry .. it is important to have good rapport with your trainer .. if not, then you will not enjoy the training at all and you would most likely dread going.  Yes, there are times where I feel like throwing the kettleball in her face :-) j/k .. but she's there to help me work towards my goal.  At the end, after all the profanity I express and vocal sessions from Alexa, I get a good workout .. and I sweat like crazy .. like pouring water from Niagra Falls.

I have been wearing my BodyMedia Fit Armband for the past few days .. and although I'm not consistent in logging in my food .. it tracks all the calories I have been burning.  Knowing how many calories I burn in a day helps me decide if I need to do more cardio work.

I have been getting a lot of positive emails and responses from blog readers and my facebook the past few days .. this has been amazing that there are people out there in the interwebs that follows my progress.  I am forever thankful for the support I get from my friends, family, and blog readers ... ! Just last month alone .. there have been over 800 people reading about my progress! You guys are the best! Stay tuned for another BIG REVEAL!

I mentioned before .. Alexa was once a contestant on a show similar to American Idol .. and she came in 4th ..  Her vocals are amazing ... here is a YT clip .. haha gosh I hope she doesn't read this. 

 

Today I weighed in at 212.5
