hkellickI have muscles.
I can look down and feel them moving under my skin.
I can't see them yet, still got a fairly thick layer of fat on my arms and if my belly has trimmed, I can't see it.
But I can feel bigger muscles.. in my arms and my legs.
I'm thrilled, mind! Really, I am! I just feel like I'm inhabiting someone else's body.
I've never HAD large muscles.
I still don't, but they've developed enough that I can see.. in two weeks or so!
I can't imagine myself being fairly thin, forget being fairly thin and having muscle definition.
It just feels odd. I've always looked like a sterotypical computer nerd: beer gut, glasses, no muscles.
I'm just shocked that *I* can feel the difference in 2 or 2 1/2 weeks. I can feel it in my arms and my legs.
I guess I'm still shocked cause I, just out of curiosity, felt my leg up last night and I can feel muscle that was never there before (feel it twinge as I touch it) and the fat that was there must have shrunken down (My legs don't LOOK any bigger than me, so while it's possible the fat actually spread around my muscle and just simply isn't bunched up like it was, it doesn't LOOK like it.)
I'm now down to 287.5 But I was bad yesterday and partook of quite a bit of unnecessary fat and sugar (I did the National Beach Sweep and had donuts, hot chocolate and custard there, then had a UBEESC (University of Buffalo Environmental Engineering and Science Council) meeting and had bugles, chips and pop there.
And still I lost 1/2 a pound.
Then again, I worked out really hard. Did 29 minutes on the treadmill without slowing down or stopping, then worked all the weight machines. And I ate well otherwise. I had turkey for lunch and fish for dinner.
I wonder if you can lose weight by inertia. Like, I've been working out for 3 1/2 weeks now and maybe I've built up some inertia, so I'm losing weight faster. Maybe I'm just eating less food and eating generally better.
Still, I'm definately not complaining.
Started an Excel Worksheet today. Weight Loss over Time. Starting with 9/8/2001 when I got the new scale. It stretches from 200 to 300 lbs (200 lbs. being the weight I'm hoping to achieve at the end of this. Whether it's realistic or not, I do not know. Guess we'll all find out together.) When I can start posting to my own web site again, I'll try to turn the Excel graph into a picture so that y'all can watch my weight loss with me :)
That's all I can think of to say right now. Ciao folksies! :D
