Checking In...

Okay so this past Sunday I lost 1.2. I feel like saying "only" 1.2, but I know it all adds up the end. It's just kind of hard to keep that in mind when you lose 1.2. I am happy I did lose though rather than gain. I did lose 3 pounds last week, so I should have known this week wouldn't be awesome. I also went out to dinner to Texas Roadhouse (a steak place) last Monday, so I'm sure that didn't help. This week I have worked out 2 days so far. I had to take Monday and Tuesday off because my leg (non exercise pain) has been hurting. But I did get up this morning and worked out for 32 minutes. I burned 383 calories. Not bad though last time I burned 402 calories...but it's alright. I am just proud of myself for getting up at 6:30 am this morning to work out.

So yeah that's pretty much my update. I plan on working out Friday morning also. I am a bit concerned because next week I am going out of town from Tuesday to Friday. I plan on still working out...or at least walking on the beach in the mornings (woot! beach...here I come!). I also think I'll buy a dining out companion book at WW on Sunday just so I'll have more info. at my finger tips. I'll also be bringing lots of snacks and fruit. So I do have a game plan. Well guess I'm out! Until next time....

BTW...the picture associated with this post is 1 pound of fat. I posted this to show myself and remind myself that THIS is what I lost this week...actually a tad bit more. So never should I feel bad for losing "just a pound"...it's hard work! :)

NSV {Non Scale Victory}

Okay so I have been getting up at 6:30 am to exercise and then be at work by 9 am. Well this morning I had a meeting at 8 am. So rather than skipping exercise I got up at 6 am and exercise. WHAT??! Yeah that's a big NSV for me. I realllllllllly didn't want to get up....I really, really didn't. But I did it and I feel darn good about myself for it. I worked out for 32 minutes and burned 395 calories. It's a record for me. Woot! Anywho I just wanted to post this b/c I'm so proud of myself. I do believe I shall give myself a pat on the back! :)

Weigh In...

Woot! So this week I lost 3 pounds. Woot, woot, woot! :) I'm soooo excited! I worked out 3 days last week elliptical 20 minutes. I'm so happy. My new total is down 66 pounds. I feel so good about myself on days I workout.

I watched my points much closer. I ate every, single damn point...every single damn day. I also made a point to try to drink more water. Unfortunately I've recently developed a Starbucks skinny vanilla latte habit. Luckily those are only 3 points. But I have decided I can only have a latte on days I work out. Boo! lol But it's good that I am giving myself peremeters.

This morning I did the elliptical and did 32 minutes, 2 miles and burned 378 calories. Woot! I am aiming for 30 minutes when I exercise now. I really started to feel the burn. I believe I started getting use to the 20 minutes...so good thing I pushed myself. So excited. I love the elliptical. I need to change it up though...which brings me to the groupon.com deal today. It's 30 classes for $20 at 11 locations around town that have classes like jazzercise, zumba, spin...etc. I'd love to give it a sho and for ONCE it's something I can afford. However, I don't want to do it alone. UGH. UGH...UGH!!! I don't have many friends and the 2 people who I do know won't do it with me. SIGH. I still feel like buying it...but I'm scared. Yikes! I need to get over my shyness...and my social anxiety...but it's so hard. UGH. I'm still debating. Stay tuned...
