I won't specifically divulge the number on the scale this morning but I have to say I wasn't as upset as I thought I was going to be! Somehow I've managed to literally stay the same weight that I was in August 2010 (last time I recall stepping on a scale). I'm not sure how that is possible since I haven't been doing derby and I've certainly been indulging (esp. in the US this past summer where I ate my way up and down the eastern seaboard!). I'm sure I've lost some muscle and gained some fat. It could also be a bad thing as my body thinks this is the weight it should be at. Part of the Dukan strategy is about tricking your body back to where it needs to be and maintaining it. I am still waiting on my damn book. It better be here tomorrow.
But I have my starting number. I'm also signed up for a spinning class tomorrow. Yikes.
In the meantime, we are watching The Biggest Loser - a new season I haven't seen yet. One frightening statistic - 2 out of 3 Americans are obese. Is that really true??
Oh - and my husband is flipping to Cupcake Wars during the commercials. This is what I deal with!
Spinning is fun but tough. Get that Army attitude going and kick this weight in it's fat ass!!! I know you can do it!

After I lost my pregnancy weight with Nora and a few extra pounds on top of that, my body still looked totally different. Obviously having children changes your body shape but it was more than that. The number on the scale was lower than it was when I got pregnant with her because I lost so much of my muscle (I had been going to the gym regularly before then) and now I was just "soft". I do step on a scale on occassion but, yes, it can be misleading. It's nice to see those numbers go down, though, that's for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree - When I lost the weight after Skylar, I got very low but things just weren't quite in the same place as they used to be. BUT... clothes still looked better and I felt more comfortable in my skin. I've accepted the fact that with age (read-wrinkles) and 2 kids, I'll *never* look like I did 10 years ago, sadly. :( Maybe I'll give myself a lift of some sort when I hit 40. haha.
