The last few weeks have been pretty tough on me. Doing mostly weight training and now incorporating jump rope for cardio has been fun to say the least.
Other then weight training, I have been making sure I do at least 100 push ups within a day. Though its the “girl” way, I can only do them on my knees right now, it is getting easier to get through them.
When I started doing push-ups about a week ago, I wasn’t able to do any the “normal” way and I was only able to get through about five or six the “girl” way. Now I can do two normal push-ups and I have worked my way up to fifteen push-ups at a time the other way. It is a gradual process and I know as I get stronger and start losing the pounds they will get easier. My goal is to do 50 consecutive push-ups the normal way. My stretch goal for push-ups is to be able to 100 consecutive push ups.
One of things I have learned is that for at least the first few months I cannot concern myself too much how much I weigh. Since I am going to be gaining muscle, I am going to be gaining weight for a little while, since muscle is heavier then fat. However, I was curious and check the scale today anyways just to see there is a difference. A couple of weeks ago I weighed in at 307.6lb and today I weighed in at 304.5. I don’t know if that is just water weight, but I will take it!
Also, today when I was getting ready for work I put my work jacket over my work sweater. Normally, if I have the jacket liner in, the jack is a little tight over the jacket. Today however, I noticed that is it a little loose. Not by much, but enough for me to notice to the difference.
Before I end this post I want to thank my friends and family who have sent their encouragement. Thank you all. It means a lot while I go through this process.
