Sugabelly - Week 2

Blergh! This week.

Okay, so I'm consoling myself because I've been doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day shred.

I am in SO MUCH PAIN!!!!!!!!

But somehow, the scale said I had gained weight.

Probably because after a day of successful dieting, I wake up in the middle of the night and start eating toast and peanut butter.

This is a bad habit. I need to stop it. I'm also in the habit of drinking Bacardi Breezers in the middle of the night.

Anyway, I don't have a scale picture because my scale goes blank before I can reach for my phone to take the picture. I'll figure something out soon.

These are my measurements for today:

Neck - 15 inches (down from 15.5)

Chest (under breasts) - 37 inches (down from 38)

Waist - 37 inches (down from 40)

Hips - 45 inches (down from 50)

And according to the scale today, I weigh 258.8lbs. So I went up.

A little bit, but still depressing.

Hopefully, there'll be a big improvement next week.

  1. I'm sending you a virtual hug, because I know how you feel. I'm having pains in places that I didn't know could be affected by exercise. I keep pushing myself though. Sometimes, I'm scared that something may break. Lol.

    I wish you strength and fortitude my dear.

    We need to break the midnight eating though. When do you workout? Eating late is only bad when you go to bed immediately (ie if you don't have about 4hours between the feeding and the sleeping).

    My trainer advised me to do my evening workout before dinner. Usually, I drink a lot of water after I workout, so I'm stuffed w only a little dinner. Then, if you still wake up at night, drink some water, maybe flavoured water, and try to sleep again.

    Challenge: Get a calendar. Put a star against each day that you beat the urge to eat in the middle of the night. But if you miss one day, you have to start counting all over. At the 30 day mark, I will buy 'sumtin' for you. :)

    I fought midnight eating, and won. I'm just tryna encourage you. Hope you don't find this offensive.

  4. Weight gain is normal when you begin working out.
    You lose inches first and gain muscle, before the fat begins to mel away
    just hang in there.

    I love Jillian.......she kicks ass!

  6. I agree with Bumight and Sirius.

    The pain you are experiencing is called DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). Usually sets in 24-72 hrs post workout.
    What will help is:

    1. Stretch after your exercise
    2. Drink ALOT of water post workout. This helps flush out lactic acid and other toxins from the joints and muscles
    3. If you hurt very bad, give your self a rub down with Bengay and such
    4. Take an epsom salt bath. Magnesium is a muscle relaxant and great for relieving soreness. Just be careful of how much you use, it is also a laxative.
