+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. :)

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
Weight to lose until next goal: 4.5 pounds.

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.

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!

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.
