So this week was crazy...
As you know, I have been struggling with motivation to work out. Well, this week kicked my butt into gear! I began with my Biggest Loser workouts on Xbox Kinect. I do those 5 times a week, for 20-25 minutes each. In addition to that, I have gone to the gym 4 times this week. I took a Zumba class and a Turbo Kickboxing class (which was insane...the instructor was this little asian girl I wanted to pick up, put in my pocket, and take her home to Neverland with the other pixies, but she was SPUNKY!). I started working out with a personal trainer (I have a feeling my time with the trainer is limited, due to affordability issues, but I will take what I can get). I also spent some time playing "Dance Central." Overall, I kept active this week, and I had a two pound weight loss on the scale this morning! Holla!
So my reward is bottomless champagne at brunch tomorrow. And ohhhh am I looking forward to that! The next challenge I must face is Valentine's Day, followed closely by my birthday. I guess I can make one of those cakes using a can of cold diet coke instead of oil and eggs (yes! that is a new trick I learned about today!). I am working hard to find ways to celebrate events and achievements in a non-food-way. For example, Brad and I sat down and determined my rewards for all the small goals I set for weight loss between now and my final goal weight. I have some SERIOUS stuff to look forward to. Spa day, wine tasting in Temecula, Vegas, Karaoke Night at home, new pair of hot shoes...and at the end of the road...a whole...wait for it...NEW...wait for it... WARDROBE! Time to start saving money I guess :-P
Tonight, I am spending my Saturday at home with Brad, Jacob, and my BFF Cindy. We are going to get our groove on to Dance Central, while chowing on Subway. Hey, I partied last weekend, and I earned myself a nice chill Saturday night (with still a little partying...dancing is like partying to me).
I should share with you all what my greatest achievement this week was. It wasn't the weight loss. It wasn't the hours in the gym, or even the extra working out with Biggest Loser. Nope. My most proud achievement this week was...wait for it...I actually completed and got five stars on "Soulja Boy, Crank That" on Dance Central. Sure, it was the "Easy" setting. Next time, maybe I will go for "Medium." But for real, I could barely make it through any of those moves two weeks ago. This time, I was nearly flawless in my execution of the "robocop."
Special thanks to the hubby this week for making me a couple dinners from the Weight Watchers cookbook (yum...fish and chips, the healthy baked way, and steak sandwiches mmmmmmmmm), and also a little shout out about how HAPPY I am that he can walk again. :-) Love you baby.
And a little quote about this coming week:
"It's going to be legen...wait for it...hope you're not lactose intolerant...DARY!"
