At some point, all of my extremely hard work is going to pay off (or so I tell myself). I am currently on day 21 of Insanity (check it the video below) and have yet to see any results. It's getting to be very, very depressing. I do actually think, though, that my thyroid is out of whack and affecting this weight problem as I have had symptoms for YEARS that have gotten worse since having my second baby. We're talking a body temp in the 96-97f range, water retention, adult acne, brittle nails, fatigue, etc.. Pretty much EVERY symptom of hypothyroidism. Why am I not on medication? Because I have never been able to test "positive" on the blood work scale. :-\ So I am left now to killing myself and not being able to lose a single pound (example: I did the full 10 day Lemonade Diet a few years ago and lost nothing. NOTHING after not eating for 10 days! Now, I am doing the most intense pure cardio workout that I could find and have lost NOTHING again!), being saddened by the fact that I'm 26 and still have problem skin, and can NOT get rid of extra fluid regardless of what I drink or eat. Boo.
Ok, I'm done with the pitty party. If you're a medical practitioner that would prescribe me some Synthroid based on symptoms rather than blood work though, please let me know ASAP! Or if you aren't, I'm open to all suggestions below. :)
Anyway, I randomly found Hapari Swimwear today online and I really want one of their swimsuits now. They claim to be a great brand for moms (we all know how that "mom" body is!), offering more support where you need it, coverage in the right places, but cute styles and prints to boot! My eyes are wide as I contemplate the possibility of looking good enough in a swimsuit that I can actually walk out into public while wearing it...
So once my body responds to my slave driving and I have the time to go tanning so you can't see through my pale skin, these are the styles that I like most:
Ok, so I have been doing the Insanity workout as well, and had to stop around day 18ish due to the crazy heat-wave we've had lately making it too hott to safely workout. ANYWAYS....i didn't notice much of a change either. I could tell my endurance when doing the workout was increasing, but my joints hurt so bad, and there was no change on the scale, that I've gone back to working out the way I did before insanity :( I was actually looking forward to (potentially) getting in shape...
My knee joints just started hurting, LauraB! I was told by a coach friend that I need to be drinking the Shakeology and that would help both the weight loss and joint problem, but...it's WAY to expensive. :-\ Oh, what to do?!
I love-love-love that last one! :-D

ReplyDeleteI like the style of the white one, but think I would want a different color. :) They are making lots of nice bathing suits these days.
