Down in the Dumps NO MORE...

Yesterday I was definitely in a funk. I can't seem to break that 20lb mark. I've dabbled around the same 5 pounds like forever. Almost everyday someone tells me I'm definitely losing.....I don't see it. I wear the same clothes and the scale is not moving. But I keep moving....I have definitely conquered the exercise mentality ...without fail I workout 5 times a week. Some days I try to talk myself out of the kickboxing class but I always feel great once I've accomplished anothe workout. Everyone in the class are advance MMA fighters....Seems they only do the class to appease me....I'm the new pink elephant in the room. Thank goodness they never make me feel that way. I'm headed to my regular Zumba class tonight with the girls and I'm really hoping the instructor takes it up a notch. Considering finding a more challenging class.... I catch on the dance moves almost instantly and I noticed in the last few classes that I'm so into it that I freestyle and add resistance moves like I'm the teacher....(she thought it was funny) I even saw her use one of my moves. lol. Zumba is really fun to me though plus I'm getting a great cardio workout. I think next week I will be more consistent with my weight training. The Zumba instructor mentioned not waiting until you lose weight to start weight/resistance training. My days are already long with evening fitness classes so I'm not sure at what time I'll incorporate more exercise. My meals today will be oatmeal for breakfast, protein shake for lunch, and roast with green beans for dinner. My snacks are 20 grapes and a protein bar. According to Sparkpeople.com I need an increase in calories somewhere so I'm going to do a little research on things I can add..... I did get suggestion from my FaceBook family but some of the things I haven't convinced myself to try yet mainly because I'm not sure how to prepare. The quest continues...... Sunshyne Out.

Nothing Going On.....Nothing going down.

Long and short of it....I'm stuck with weight loss. Could be I'm not pushing myself enough...could be I'm still over-portioned....could be my metabolism... Could, Would, Should. UGH. I read alot of blogs and websites boasting people that follow some slight modification for one week and lose over 5lbs....I've never experienced that. Even in the beginning, my loss has never been over 2lbs at a time. Very frustrating because I've made alot of changes in my physical activities and eating habits. I've even helped others with their plan. Ugh. Not discouraged enough to give up but I am discouraged. I just don't want to feel like I have to give up every single thing I enjoy in life. oh well....Sunshyne Out.

Gray Areas...

I'm experiencing "grey areas" in my life right now. Yes I am still separated and not divorced. Yes I still technically have a live-in boyfriend and a husband. And yes they both want to be a major part of my life. And unfortunately, I want to be a part of both of their lives but realize that can't happen. Initial sparks wear out and reality sets in..... just in my case sparks can go on a long time usually after sexual and emotional connections have gotten way too deep.  Right now I'm taking the time to redefine love in my life. Love means something different to each person. I realize in talking to different friends on a day-to-day basis...that we all view relationships differently.  Some women think that as long as he's a provider, they can put up with anything. To me money is not everything, what about the desire to be in your partner's presence?  What about having that indescribable feeling when you get that hug at the end of the day? What about looking f...
