I'm not!  I'm not worried at all...now that I've thought about the reasons why I could have gained one pound!  For the last month I've kind of been in a funk...I'm still working out, I'm still gung ho and being active with my goals in mind, so I've not given up on me!  But I just can't seem to get past the stage I'm currently at!  It's a happy stage...I've lost a lot more that I thought I could in the last five months....I'm getting stronger, more toned, wearing clothes I've not worn in a long time....I'm on a roll!

And the good thing is that I'm not bored - not at all!  I'm not a fanatic either.  I just love that I am so focused than I've ever been in my life, at least since my late teens, on being fit, this time for life!  It's just that either I have not gained or lost anything, or like now....I've gained a pound!  My Weight Watchers rep said that I'm doing well and not to worry. Then she asked what am I doing differently. 

Oh yes.....I've upped my workout....from 30 to 45 minutes now..and if I feel like it and time permits, an hour!  I'm walking at least 30 minutes every day (during the day with my friend - not a part of my workout gym time) and not just every other day...and I'm working with Weights more!   The day before my meeting I did kind of over do it though..I worked out with 15lbs dumb bells, wow, what a workout that was, it was fantastic and heavy!

So yes, there's my pound right there!  I realised one thing though.  If I want to lose the weight and not be bulky, I've got to cut down on the size of the Weights I lift.  Focus more on repitition and not on the size. So the day after that (because I work every other one to two days with Weights) I deliberately chose 10lbs dumb bells, which made it easier to do more reps and my workout was even better and I felt less fatigued afterwards!  I've also began to jump rope again too.  Beginning this week, Monday's will be mainly cardiovascular...no Weights. 

The good thing about this....my oldest daughter has started to workout again too.  She wanted to be like me, getting fit, which is better for her in the long run because of the diabetes and other health issues that runs on both family line...I was glad for that!  She was doing it on and off the way I used to, now I hope she sticks to it for better health's sake!  I know she will have her moments the way I have had in the past and I've learned to not worry her about her body, and I am teaching her dad to do the same!  Men, without realizing it, can be the detriment to their daughters body issues...the way my dad was sometimes with me, without realising it! 

I'm going to hopefully get to the pool today...as soon as Amanda gets home because I promised her I would and that will be my work out for the day...along with a round of cycling of course!
