Running

-0.7.  Damn, I was hoping to get rid of all the gained weight from last week.

I swear every time I get super excited about a goal (for example, last week's post about how I'm going to break 170!), the exact opposite happens.

I actually made it to Zumba this week (yay!) because I got done with my teacher test a lot earlier than I thought I would.  Since I missed the first 15 minutes of the class, I went and ran on the track after the class was over.  It was nice to run again, and I think it also helped me decide that I DO want to sign up for Campus on the Run.

When I first read about the Campus on the Run, I was super excited, and couldn't wait to sign up.  Then I started to think about it, and started doubting myself...maybe I couldn't run the whole thing.  And then I saw the map, and saw the hills included in the run, and I was like, "Forget it, I can't do it."  I don't know why I doubt myself so much...why I don't believe in myself.  Who cares if I can't run the whole thing?  Even if I ran half of it, it would be a success.

I don't know why I'm so determined to run a 5K.  I guess just to say that I can?  And I guess I'm always seeing those Biggest Loser folks running a marathon towards the end of their weight loss program, and even though a 5K is A LOT less than a marathon, it would be MY "marathon."  It would be proof to myself that I'm in the best shape I've ever been in, and that I CAN run. 

I'm going to sign up.  :)
And NEXT week will be the 170 breaking week!  :)


Current weight: 170.2
Weight to lose until next goal: 4.7 pounds.

suck

+0.9. 

The weekend sucked...had a hard time controling what I was eating since I was staying at a friends place.
And our anniversary was on Tuesday, and I overindulged in sushi.

Back to work, hope I can work it off by the end of the week.  That's my goal.

Current weight: 170.9
Weight to lose until next goal: 5.4 pounds.

Slow and steady?

 -0.4 lbs.

I probably shouldn't have eaten a stupid breakfast jack from Jack in the Box on Friday night.  But I was hungry and it was 3 in the morning and I was driving my drunkie friends there, so oh well.  Maybe the number this week would've been higher, maybe not.  Not going to dwell though.

I slept through Zumba yesterday.  :(  But I went to bed around 5 AM, and Zumba is at 10 AM, and it just wasn't happening.  After I have breakfast today I'm going to turn on The Biggest Loser though to make up for my missed workout yesterday.  Then I have piyo this evening.  :)

Next week, if all goes well, I will FINALLY break the dreaded 170 mark.  I haven't weighed less than 170 in years and years and years.  Before we left for Kauai last May, I was at 172 point something, and that's the lowest I ever got before I began yo-yo-ing and plateau-ing.  So to say I'm relieved to finally weigh below 170 is an understatement.  :)

See you next week!

Current weight: 170
Weight to lose until next goal: 4.5 pounds.

abs? what are those?

-0.5 pounds.

I didn't turn on Biggest Loser this week :(, BUT, all of my work out classes were insane.  Power sculpt on Monday and Wednesday was crazy hard, but so good at the exact same time. As me and the girl next to me in the class both dropped our weights and collapsed on the floor, she told me it hurts right now, but its going to be so worth it at the end of the class.  The lady who teaches it yells and corrects your stances in awkward ways and is just overall overbearing, but she's great.  :)  I've never worked out in the way that she is working us, and I can honestly say if I stick with her class and with my other work out regimes, then I'm on my way to truly feeling confident in my bathing suit this summer.  :)

Gah, speaking of summer, is it here yet?  I hate the cold!

Zumba is amazing.  Well, as long as I don't watch myself in the mirrors.  I'm by far one of the most uncoordinated people in the class, and when I look up and see myself awkwardly dancing, I get embarrassed.  So, I just watch Jenni rocking all the dance moves, and relax as best I can.  And then I end up feeling amazing after class, and still have sore abs the next afternoon from shaking my hips like a crazy person.  :)

I have Piyo tonight, which is really helping me develop strength and flexibility.  I love it.
