I had a great weight loss week! Down 3lbs! I'm so glad I'm back on track again. I'm 2lbs below my weight at the end of the biggest loser, and I'm only 2lbs away from my half way mark! I can definitely reach that by next Friday. I didn't stay within my calories every day, but I did exercise 5 out of 7 days and I think that's been the key. I am always going to struggle with food, but if I can get myself to exercise more, that will be a huge help. I'll be burning more calories and when I feel better I want to eat better. Somehow macaroni and cheese doesn't sound very appetizing (I never thought I would say those words!) after a hard work out. It also felt great to be sore for a few days. Not so sore I couldn't move, but enough that I knew I was doing things right.

I don't know about all you ladies out there but every month I get horrible back cramps with my period. They only last a day or so but I haven't been able to find anything that takes the pain away. But this month, after exercising almost all week before it started, I had NO cramping at all! Not in my abdomen or back. Now in the past my exercise has been doing cardio on the elliptical and some weight machines but lately I've been doing strengthening and sculpting classes, zumba, yoga...and for some reason it prevented any uncomfortable days come my period. (well besides being over emotional and needing chocolate. but hey, one thing at a time) I was shocked! So there yet another reason to get moving!
Right now...I really want a cupcake. A big sweet delicious cupcake with a yummy surprise filling baked fresh from a local bakery, preferably from Sweet Indulgence. I bought one of their red velvet cupcakes at the women's expo...OMG it was heaven in a cute little box. I wonder what time they open...
(great weight loss blog, Stacy...)
On a different topic, I was finally brain washed by all the radio commercials for Ovation Cell Therapy and ordered the hair care system. I just got it in the mail yesterday and used it last night. I'll keep you updated on how that goes.
Today my plan is to take Lillie for a walk down to the water, build a fire pit in my backyard and do some grilling and beer drinking. Hooray for days off!
Your blog is awesome. It's so funny and concise, and I love the way you keep everything so upbeat. Congrats on your weight loss. Now YOURE inspiring me. I really need to get back to excercising more. Can we be WOW buddies? I can even take classes, since I am also a platinum member.
ReplyDeleteAlso, even when I was excercising like a maniac the last 2 months, I still got insanely bad cramps during my cycle. I am officially envious of you.
Thanks Jen! I love to hear that people enjoy reading it. Sometimes I wonder if I sounds nuts. And if I do, I don't really care. haha
DeleteWe can definitely be WOW buddies. Are we allowed to take classes at other WOWs? I know I can bring friends but they aren't allowed to take classes. I wasn't sure how it worked if members went to another gym. I haven't been doing any of the typical gym stuff since I started going back. Just the classes.
Maybe I just got lucky this month. I'll have to keep paying attention to it, but if I found a cure for my back aches, hells yea!!!
