I have not updated my blog in over 2 weeks. my apologies.
I have been having a hard time getting to the gym lately. However, I am still on track in my weight loss challenge with Nicole :). I believe so far I have lost about 7 lbs. I have another weigh in tomorrow morning. A little nervous because I wasn't able to go to the gym at all this past week and I was sitting on the couch for 3 days with a back injury.
And a bag of cookies from Sonia... thanks sonia :)
But tonight its back to the gym. Tommy and I are going to go back to the gym tonight and I am going to get my butt on the elliptical and just go for it.
I have been watching the biggest loser and it amazes me how some of these people are losing 17 lbs in ONE DAMN WEEK! how on earth? granted some of these men are 300 or 400 lbs but still. They work so hard at the gym and get it done. I can do it too. I can step it up.
My whole plan before was to gradually ease in to longer, stronger work-outs but I want to see what happens when I go to the gym and give it my all.
So here goes.
I'm going to need a serious shower when home because I'll be dripping sweat...
:) go time......
(at the gym)
OKAY! I just got back from the gym. Actually i got back from the gym about a half an hour ago but I took a shower and then checked my facebook but now I'm here!
I kicked so much butt at the gym tonight. I sweat like a mad-woman. (mad woman? i'm not sure what that even means or why i connected a mad-woman with sweating but just roll with it...) I biked 2.5 miles which is laughable to my friends who bike all the time but to me its huge... a while ago I biked a mile with my sister and I felt like I wanted to quit half way through.... but today i completed 2.5 and it felt GREAT! (i also walked/jogged on the treadmill for 15 minutes but thats becoming norm)
Well since I have become such a big fan of The Biggest Loser I saw through the glass doors into another room at our gym (a room I have never been in and thought was like... off limits for some reason... ) that they have those huge rope things. You know the ones that they have to "make waves" with.( I'm having a really hard time explaining this...) Anyways, I ventured into that room today to try out the ropes and I discovered a whole other part of the gym I didn't even know existed. And I finally figured out what the posters all around the gym saying "my yoga class starts at 4:17am" and "my step class starts at 8:43pm" were... Theres a projector and a "red-boxish" kind of thing going on in there. you can choose from 20+/- different classes ...ANY TIME YOU WANT!!!! its magical. I have been wanting to try a step class. I can. I have been wanting to try a dance workout. I can. Tonight, Tommy and I ended our work out with a 20 minute yoga class. (he was better than me so naturally I disliked him for a minute..) Can't wait to go back and try another class.
Back on track, people. Watch out ;)
