Motivating Monday

It's been that kind of a day.

Tell-Tale Tuesday

I am down 0.8 pounds this week. I am shocked to be down at all, considering how much I ate and drank this weekend.

Kickboxing was very hard today. I'm worried about being able to walk tomorrow, but it felt great.

Don't judge me.

weekly update

I'm down 2 pounds as of this morning. I feel great.

Today I had kickboxing, which is my favorite workout. I have friends in the class and the instructor is motivating. Normally I run a mile after class, but today was so intense my legs couldn't take it.

Motivating Monday

I don't like to go see bands I've never seen before. Generally I don't like loud music. I am kind of a grump that way. Yet, for some odd reason, I asked Amanda to go see a new band about 6 years ago. It was All Girl Summer Fun Band. I fell in love with the band. I have several of their songs on my iPod.

If you listen to this song and don't wish you could be in their band I will be surprised.

Today I met Mandee for an AM elliptical workout. At lunch I went for a 2 mile run. It was a good day.

Motivating Monday and Tell Tale Tuesday

I got back from a weekend in Chicago yesterday. I was too lazy to blog, so today is a bonus addition. This week's Motivating Monday is the filthy Christina Aguilera. This is a sing along song that is perfect for working out because she references being sweaty. It makes me feel less awkward about dripping.

Now about that tell tale Tuesday thingy.... Did I mention I was in Chicago last weekend? And we toured 2 breweries? And that there was lots of drinks? And 11 PM burritos the size of my head? I knew I wasn't going to lose this week, but I was still saddened to see the 2.4 pound weight gain this morning. I'm not worried, I know it will come off. This week is busy (two happy hours, one bar crawl, one wedding), but I'll make it through.

Today I did the elliptical at lunch and had only one glass of wine at happy hour. Now I'm headed to the kitchen to make a stir fry.

Tuesday

I am down 0.8 pounds this week. I'm happy with that number considering my weekend.

This weekend I'm taking a few days off and spending a long weekend in Chicago. I'll be wearing comfortable shoes and bringing my pedometer. I might not look cool, but I will counteract some of the great Chicago food and beverage I'll be partaking in.
