think positive.

+0.7 lbs.  BUHHHHH.
No big deal.

I worked my butt off this past week working out.  So I'm going with muscle building.  ORRRR, the million beers I had this weekend (Beer, why must you taste so good?)  Either way, it'll be gone by this Friday, because my fitness classes are kicking my ass in the best way possible.

I LOVE turbokick.  The class was pretty full last night, and its incredibly fast-paced and fun.  And even my my two left feet and complete uncoordination can keep up a majority of the time.

Powersculpt is finally back.  We had a nearly 2 week hiatus because of my instructor going to Afghanistan, and then she got sick when she got back.  Between powersculpt and spinning on Mondays and Wednesday, my legs are ready to abandon me.  But hopefully soon I've have normal sized thighs instead of the thunder variety...haha, I can wish, right?  :)

I need to do some research on fitness classes in Burien.  I need to continue my fitness when we move back, or this will all have been for nothing.  Maybe Junie (the family dog) will be my jogging partner.  She could use it...haha.  :)

Current weight: 169.6

Weight to lose until next goal: 4.1 pounds.

HELLO 168! Just barely! :)

-1.1 pounds.

I BROKE THE DREADED 170 MARK!  YAY!
That's the second set of great news  I've gotten regarding my journey this week.  When we were in Burien for break, I went pants shopping, and I'm officially a size 12 now!  A TWELVE!  I don't think I've been this small since my freshman year in high school.  A-mazing!

Fun fact: Justin and I are only about 20 pounds apart now.  :)  When we got married, I outweighed him by nearly 85 pounds.  (yikes!)

I had a great time in Burien for spring break.  I didn't make the best food choices, and honestly dreaded getting on the scale this morning.  I turned it on with the attitude of finding out the "damage" of the week.  To say I was shocked when my BMI number didn't go up is an understatement. 

I brought my tennis shoes with every intention of running at least one of the days we were there...didn't happen.  BUT, we did walk A TON.  So I guess my food choices were balanced by the amount of walking we did.  :)  We walked to and from sushi, and when we went to this delicious, (horrible) Irish pub, we ended up walking home due to beer consumption.  :)  It was a good mile walk back to Tony's house, and now that I think about it, was a complete blessing in disguise.  :)

Work out classes start in full swing on Monday.  I'll have powersculpt and spinning on M/W, and Turbo kick on Sunday nights.  I'm super excited to try out turbo kick.  I'm obsessed with box-fit on The Biggest Loser game, so I think turbo kick will be right up my alley.

Current weight: 168.9
Weight to lose until next goal: 3.4 pounds.

169 is just teasing me now

-0.2. ugggghhhhhh.

Work outs this week were minimal.  Powersculpt on Monday was all abs/core, but we did them all standing up, and I hurt my lower back.  (I hate having the back of a 65 year old....)  It was canceled on Wednesday because my instructor is in Afghanistan?  Haha.  I didn't work out again until Thursday night when I turned Bob on to try to relieve the stress I was feeling from the entire week of hell classes and working 3 nights in a row.  It was a nice relief, but it definitely wasn't enough to make this week a good weight loss week. 

Went to Zumba this morning, but I'm still not on par for feeling rested, and I just felt light-headed most of the time.  Last Piyo is tomorrow night, and then I need to sign up for new classes for second session.  I think I want to do turbokick with the same gal that teaches Piyo, but other than that, nothing really seems to fit with my busy schedule.  I'll have to fiddle around with the classes some more.

I need to make this next week an excellent week, because after that we;re going home for spring break, and we all know how well I do when we're not at home.  The first Sounders game is on the Tuesday of break!  Yay!  Unlimited food seats?  Booo.  Haha.

Off to shower!  I have a playdate with the twins from preschool, and I'm super excited about it.  :)

Current weight: 170
