The Situation as it stands:

Sex: Lady
Age: 23
Height: 5'7.5
Start weight: 230
Current weight: 216.4

How the fat happened: I gained about 60 pounds when I was pregnant. I certainly abused my "I can eat whatever I want" card. Over a year later, I'm done carrying around all the extra, ugly fat. I want to be healthy and hot again, getting strong along the way. I've started with making changes to my diet and getting to the gym consistently. I put together an upper/lower 2 day split using exrx.net, starting with machines and transitioning to free weights as I learn the form. This is my first time around using free weights and I think I'm in love.

Novice level deadlift (according to exrx) by April 21, 2013.
Other goals include: fitting back into my single digit pants (c'mon size 6!), seeing a weight on the scale <170, and getting my game back.

Hey, Sharks! Happy to have you. I've been eating a lot of chicken and lean beef for lunch and dinner, eggs for breakfast. I try to concentrate on making protein the main part of my meals. The diet changes I've made are pretty basic. I've stopped drinking calories, started eating so much more protein than I used to (so much) and I've joined MyFitnessPal which has been amazing in keeping me schooled on calories and macros. I'm using Optimum Nutrition whey protein post-workout. Chocolate Malt flavor, mmmmm.

I'm loving me some deadlifts. Totally excited to work my way up. So far, so great!

I went down a smidge on my weights for shoulder presses and was able to do the full sets of 10, which felt good. Then I did cardio for the first time in a few days and realized it just isn't as much fun as it used to be, before I was introduced to the 'scary' side of the gym where I previously thought I had no business. I like it on the 'scary' side.

So something unexpected (but not unwelcome) has happened over the past few months. I've gotten, what's it called? Oh yeah. A life. I've gotten a life. It's been fantastic but now I feel like I need to be all the places at all the times. Work, school, home, boyfriend, gym, bed. I haven't had much down time lately, and thus no updating log time lately. This changes....now!

Gym time has still been going splendidly. I find myself saying things like "I don't want to go to work. I just want to go to the gym." I'll take Phrases I'd Never Thought I'd Say for 400, Alex. Plus I'm starting to see some of the small changes that go along with losing 15 pounds, and looking better is never bad news, just sayin'.

My latest lower body workout was with my sometimes gym friend. We decided to see if I could deadlift the day away.

Barbell Deadlift:

Haven't been seeing the scale move in a downward trend as steadily as I had hoped. Tweaking the diet and giving it a few weeks to see if that gets me back on track. In the meantime, I'm just gymming and trying not to get discouraged. After all, I can wear jeans I haven't worn in some years, and I put that on the success list.

Today was more of the same thing. I do feel stronger, and it does feel like winning.

You're already super strong! You're doing so well.

Re: gym + no scale progress. I'm experiencing the same problem as well, but I've noticed my measurements decreasing and my body looking leaner. You actually retain a lot of water when you do strength training, and there's also muscle gain that will affect the number. If you're lifting and losing weight, put less stock in the number on your scale and more into the measurements, mirror, and new clothes fitting again. Congrats on fitting into the old jeans, too!

Also, to keep my good day rolling, I received this gem at work yesterday: "You've been losing weight like crazy." From the last dude I ever would have expected it from.

Funny thing happened. I realized I was stronger than I used to be so I upped my weights on some things, like chest press, curls and lat pull downs.I'm taking that as my cue that I'm doing something right. Pretty sure next upper body day I'm going to try going up a bit more on other things and see where that takes us.

Aaaaaaaaaand I'm back. Last week is a blur. A plague fell upon my house and I slept for 3 days. I confess, I didn't even think of the gym. On the plus side, my weight held steady the whole week and I'm back on track. It felt good to get back in there. Get all sweaty and gross. Aw yeah. I was nervous that I'd lose all the muscle, but turns out a week off was just a week off and I was able to do everything at pretty much the same weight. Fancy that.

Just proof that taking a little time off is no reason to slow down on your return! Nice work, lady.

My schedule has been completely off the past week. I've been juggling a bunch of different things, and I can't juggle very well.

I feel really off track lately. Starting to get down about it. Only up 2 pounds, so at least there's that. But I'm mentally off the rails now and it's getting to me. Annnnnyway. Upper body day tomorrow. Nothing to it but to do it, eh?
