I haven't been recording my food intake. It's time consuming and discouraging. Though it seems yesterday I did fairly well. I finished the day at around 1858 cal, not counting exercise. Jas has also been helping me take measurements to gauge changes in BMI and body fat percentage. I think my BMI is about 27 and my body fat percentage is about 33-34%. Again it's hard for me to look past that to see encouraging signs that this whole effort isn't futile.
Good news is with weight lifting I can see a substantial difference. Most notably is what I can lift now for leg press/calf extensions and seated rows. When I started exercising I could do sets of 12 reps on both machines at 70lbs and 30 lbs respectively, now I am doing the same at 120-130lbs and 65-70lbs respectively. It amuses me that I can almost leg press my weight right now. Additionally I can reliably cycle a mile in about 3-4 minutes. (I can't maintain that speed though for a half hour. If I try to go more for endurance my avg speed is about 12-15mph versus 18-22mph during my work out warmup cardio.)
My DH says that I am an endomorph, so that once I start building muscle I will start losing weight dramatically (I think I remembered that correctly). I am trying to keep that in mind as I am in this plateau kind of area. I think that if I can raise the weight I can push on the weight training machines another 20lb I'll really start to see some changes because the last time I tried to go for broke- I think I was able to do one set at 140lb on the leg press. That was very hard and I definitely 'felt the burn' all the way up the back of the leg and in my butt. If I can bulk up those muscles, since they are the biggest ones in my body, I might be able to raise my metabolism enough that they will start eating a lot of my consumed calories and give me a calorie deficit on a regular basis. :)
