Now What?
I think my cold has completely gone away, I don’t feel sick in any way, however, I still do have this cough and I’m thinking that it’s as a result of quitting smoking – not the cold. So I think that my lungs are trying to break up WvTF is in there and get rid of it, so I’ll say that’s the reason I’ve still got a cough now.
I’m just waiting – hanging around until it’s time to go to Aquafit. I don’t normally do it on Mondays cuz the woman sucks – she gets down into the water with you where you can’t see an effing thing she’s doing. How are you supposed to figure it out that way? Anyway, I’m just going to that cuz I figured I’ve got to work out when I’m doing the weights and machines so that I’ll have a day off in between doing those to rest the muscles, and since there are no good classes on Tuesdays or Thursdays, I’m going to use those days as the weight days, which meant I had to do a class tonight.
In the 8-9 weeks I’ve been working out again, I haven’t seen any results in my body. I still feel like a big fat pig (and look like one) and I’m a little disappointed in that. I’ve got to get using the weights and machines in order to make a difference and I obviously haven’t been doing that enough.
And I’m also going to be tracking my eating since I know we started snacking at night since we quit smoking (anything for that constant hand to mouth habit). I think I’m going to have to chew more gum and forget about having some popcorn when we’re watching TV, especially since we don’t even pay attention to how much we put into the bowl.
Of course I could have given up beer and that might make all the difference in the world. But on my way home from work tonight, I decided that we should have some beer in the house – what’s a house without beer (my beer… my honey’s got some). If I can get it through my thick skull that I’m going to lay off beer for a while, then maybe I could knock some serious calories out of my weekly diet and actually see some results from all the working out.
Anyway, enough ranting. I should try to do something productive before I go to the club. Like maybe playing farmville or something.

Yes, momontherun, I keep an online food journal at http://www.my-calorie-counter.com (they changed to http://www.everydayhealth.com but you can still get there from the original link), so I know what I’m putting into me every day – that’s not the answer.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
Well you are getting cardio and strength benefits, even if you can’t see them
That said, have you tried journalling your food? While you’re working out hard you may be sabotaging those efforts with the foods you’re eating. Keep up the good work and I’m sure you’ll see results soon!
