We started out with the Cardio workout that I mentioned on Day 1, and I remember struggling through that and this time it was actually easier. We did the lower body workout for the first time today and my legs, and hip flexors and calves were on fire. It hurt so bad! I was sweating so bad my shirt sleeve was getting pretty wet from wiping my face.
Bottom line though: WE DID IT!! Woot woot!!
WEEK ONE IS DONE!
We didn't do our AB challenge today as a double workout (50 minutes non-stop) was enough for today, so we will do that tomorrow.
Now I have some extremely exciting news... as you know today was our "STATurday" and we needed to take our measurements and weigh in. Today I am down 4.5lbs from 9 days ago, bringing my total weight loss for the month to 9.5lbs!!! AMAZING! I was through the roof as I was pretty nervous stepping on the scale today. Joelene was such an amazing sweetheart and bought these beautiful flowers for me and hand made me this pretty card to congratulate me on making my monthly goal mark, which was 8lbs. I beat that goal by 1.5lbs so far and there is still a whole week to go!
Tonight (besides caring for a sickly little boy who I think may have H1N1) I will be babysitting for a friend of mine and she is treating us all to pizza as payment. I am so looking forward to a treat, I have been working so hard at eating clean and after weighing in today and seeing a 4.5lb drop, well dangit I deserve a bit of a treat!
So I plan to have 1 to 1 1/2 slices of pizza and I am going to make a nice garden salad to go with it for myself.
We checked out tomorrow's video and to my surprise it is still a 25 min "workout" but more like an active rest day, because we started this program a day late this next week is going to really be a long haul. We would have been working out 11 days straight without a "day off" by the time next Saturday rolls around. We had our break on Monday instead. Pretty long haul but we can do it.
I am more motivated now then ever before! We sat here and did the math on where I could be if I keep doing what I am doing in April and June and it still is pretty mind blowing to me. I haven't been below 200lbs in over a decade. I know I haven't shared my start weight with you all yet but that is because I am just not ready for people to know. I just don't want people to look at me and attribute a number to my size, not until I have melted that size down. However I am sure it is obvious that I was over 200lbs.
It's actually kind of a change of pace working out in the day time. We had the windows open, sun was shining and the fresh breeze was blowing cooling us off. It was nice. I still prefer night time exercise though, however at least I can enjoy the rest of my Saturday.
So on that note I am going to do just that! Hope you all have a great weekend too!
I love this! I love your blog name, and this is hugely motivating! Well done, I love how you've got things planned out (down to the half a slice of pizza ;) ) I am inspired to do better myself! Bravo!!!
