-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! :)

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

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

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.

black magic
-3.1 pounds.
uuummmmmm....what? Believe me, I was waiting for the scale to scream at me, SIKE! Maybe having a cold and fever has positive weight loss effects?
Haha, this week has been less than good for me. Going into my birthday weekend, I only lost -0.2 pounds (sorry about the lack of post, my sister was here, it was my birthday, ect.) Then obviously birthday festivities happened, we drank a lot, I ate cake, the whole shebang. I got my tattoo on Saturday, which made walking hard, let alone working out. THEN, I got crazy sick. So today, going to Zumba was the first day I've worked out since last Sunday when I attempted to do Pi-yo hungover. (Can I just tell you, doing downward-standing dog when hungover is HARD. haha.)
At first, Zumba was crazy hard this morning. I was still tired, and I could feel a week's worth of not working out catching up with me. Plus, I have no rhythm...lol. I'll do Pi-yo tomorrow and then powerscuplt on Monday and Wednesday. Definitely time to get back into the work out routine, especially now that I can wear shoes over my tattoo without it hurting.

nowhere is better than backwards
-0 this week.
This is totally okay. I ate relatively well, but did not do my workouts with Bob the second half of the week. Couple that with the fact that all the people in my house have been doing all week is watching football and drinking beer, and I can easily see why I didn't lose any weight this week.
I love beer, but sometimes I forget when cracking up the 3rd one in a night all the extra calories that I'm DRINKING. One of my rules is to try to not drink my calories away. I don't think many people realize that drinks that Starbucks, Jamba Juice, ect sell are like sitting down and eating lunch... and sometimes the calories counts are worse! I've gotten so much better about not wasting my calories on liquids, but beer seems to be the only one that is still killing me again. Looks like I have to go back to Budweiser 55. :p
I missed Zumba on Saturday because I totally spaced the class and volunteered to work for someone whose family was visiting them. But I did make it to Piyo yesterday, and it was AMAZING. And HARD. I've never had the tops of my shoulders be sore, but they most definitely are right now. The class itself is upbeat, but totally relaxing at the same time because its yoga poses infused with pilates. Its a lot of strength and core building, and we even did a bit of ab work out at the end before we all collasped on the floor. I love the class, and I'll definitely be going every week. A-mazing! :)
We don't have class today, so no powersculpt. But when I get off work, I'll be turning on the Biggest Loser and working through my soreness. :)
Oh, and one last thing. My little sister, Korey, is currently embarking on her own weight loss journey, and she lost 5 pounds last week! I couldn't be more proud of her! If you know her or see her, give her a high five for being amazing and working so hard. She's definitely going to keep me on my toes! :)

Thank you Bob!
-1.7 pounds!
I nearly fell off the wii fit this morning I was so excited.
I worked really hard this week to try and eat better. I did the Biggest Loser work out 3 times, and man, did my legs hurt. I meant to do it yesterday, but Justin and Austin were watching football ALLLL DAYYY. Haha.
My fitness classes start tomorrow. Powersculpt on Mondays/Wednesday, Zumba on Saturday, and Piyo on Sunday. Excited! I don't think it will be possible for me to stay fat when I throw in a Biggest Loser work out into the mix.
I know I've said this time and time again, that I'm excited, I've found my motivation again, ect. ect. And I don't think each time I wasn't serious. But I've got a feeling that this time will be like the first, when I started in June and lost that first 50. Here's to the next 40! :)
I've always thought that smaller goals that are more attainable encourage me more, so I'm going to say my next goal is to lose 5% of my total weight. Currently, that would be 8.7 pounds. :)
