Day 49 and Weigh-ins

It's been a few weeks since I last posted. In the past that meant I had stopped my trek to losing weight. That is not the case here. I am still going strong. Three weeks ago I slipped and fractured my arm. That through a minor crimp in my workout plans. My arm is still healing, but I try to exercise with it as much as possible. I can't do push-ups and I have to use 5lb weights for some of the exercises like the curls. But I didn't use it as a reason to give up.

I have also moved up to the next stage of disks. I am now doing Sculpt 3-4 and Sweat 3-4. There are a lot more repeats and exercises. They are tough and it is a good workout. For variety, I did the Fat Burning Express today and it was still a challenge, even this far into the program. It was a good workout. I can feel muscle forming under my fat, especially my pecs and abs. And my left arm is even getting definition in it.

As for the weight-loss, that goes well. My weigh-in two weeks ago was 270.2. Which put me officially below where I was at when I first started this blog. And the one last week was the exact same amount. It was the first week I had with no loss. I did spend the first part of that week out of town and was eating out. So I attribute it to that. This week, I weight in at 267.6. I am at the lowest I have weighed in YEARS. I am pretty proud of myself. That is 22.4lbs lost since I started eating right and doing the program. And I still allow myself a cheat day here and there. I just moderate myself better and balance it out with my calorie intake for the day.
