It’s been a while since my last update, so here’s what’s been going on with the fitness the last few days:

 

Saturday:

I was so proud with my workout!  I truly “brought it” and I kicked ass!  I decided that the following “Sweat 1-2” DVD, I would even give a try at Power Yoga.  Today also marked me being ¼ of the way done with the program!  I called my mom, bawling, because I was so proud of myself because I’ve stuck with it and haven’t gone over on points or calories (used bonus points) other than two times. Jeff and I have also been shopping for an elliptical and we found two that we really like but they are soooooo expensive ($800+).  When talking with my mom, she said my aunt might have one I can use so she’s going to check with her and let us know…Here’s hoping!

 

Sunday:

Today was weigh in day…I only lost a pound.  Needless to say, it was a huge blow and I was very upset about it.  Jeff tried reassuring me that it’s because I’m building so much muscle, but I can’t help but feel defeated.  We didn’t have time to take measurements but that’s okay…

 

Monday:

Back with it!  Jeff bought me weights (10 pounds) and although they were way too much, I did what I could. Jeff is going to go buy me 2.5 pound weights so I have them to use on Wednesday.  Today also marks one month since I have had any fast food – Really, it has been one month since any meals other than a chicken onion teriyaki sub from Subway or the Steak and Shrimp (under 500 calorie) dinner from Applebee’s.  Definitely something to celebrate.  :)

 

Tuesday:

I was not feeling it with the workout.  I haven’t been getting much sleep the last couple of nights (my fault and not works for once) but I just wasn’t feeling it and I slacked.  I also attempted to do the Power Yoga portion of the “Sweat 1-2” DVD and it was a fail of EPIC proportions.  I need to be able to hold my body up with my arms a lot better before I try this again – I imagine I probably won’t be able to do this until I lose about 100 pounds.  It’s okay because it gives me something to work towards, but it was yet another blow because I can’t do it.  We did my weight again today so we could get my measurements – The first time I hopped on the scale, I was actually up a few pounds from last week.  I nearly cried.  Then we re-weighed me three more times – The next two times I was at 350.4 and the last time I was at 349.4.  As much as I wanted to hit 350, I went with the 350.4 because that had shown up most often.

 

So that’s about it for today…As soon as I get home, I’ll be doing my “Sculpt 1-2” DVD with my new 2.5 pound weights!  We’ll see how it goes!
