If theres anything i can do to help just let me know. If you keep posting in your journal I'll try to stay on top of it by checking in regularly to make sure youre on the right track. If I see things you need to change I'll let you know... otherwise don't worry and just assume you're on the right track. HOpefully that will help alleviate some of the weight loss stress you're feeling?
You very well could be building muscle right now and thats why the scale isn't moving.
You're doing awesome! Keep it up! I'm proud of ya!
Yeah, just today I had three if not more out bursts....Honestly I am doing a lot better than I was doing before. anger issues are much less than they used to be....this probably going to take years.
aww, that will be great. Getting feedback and learning something new everything would definitely help!
I hope I am building muscles and that's why the scale ain't movin'
....I truly think I've gained muscles, especially in arms, they really have gotten much stronger than before. I can handle more weight and stuff...(except for shoulders). shoulders are really an embarrassment! I literally (with some exercises) struggle with 4lbs, and with many repetitions using 2kgs only. Pathetic! So yeah I focus a lot of on upper body isolation exercises, because I'm pretty weak. lower body gets bigger way easy, and fast....and I'm doing those compounds exercises you've given me! I think I've been on them for about 5 weeks now? When should I change it up? I'm not really getting sore much, despite the weight increase.
Meditation is a great way. At first, it's like working out...a struggle to just stay still and sit for 15-30 minutes. Most people make the mistake of thinking that they should NOT be thinking at all during meditation, but the trick to let your mind do whatever it does, just don't get attached to the thought. So if a thought suddenly pops in your head like, "I'm really tired," just say OK and let it go...don't go, "I'm tired because I stayed up late last night watching tv and eating crap, and I can't believe I ate that whole candy bar, and I really should be working out instead of just sitting here," etc.
I tried doing it a few times. I always fail. I always get hung up on thoughts. But I will be going to the body balance class at least once a week. It's not really an exercise, but a spiritual type of exercise, which will help me I think throughout time
