A great week......

because I lost!!! I lost!!!!! Yup, I lost 6 whole pounds!!!!! Now of course Erin expects me to do it every week. I can't make any promises, except that I will try!!! I know that I ate a lot less (a little worried that I did not eat enough, but we will see). I did write down everything I ate, which is a pain, but I know it works. I just need to stay on it.

So after that exciting news from the scale--then we did another mini-boot camp. These just suck. The main point is just to keep moving for the 30 minutes. I started out on the treadmill for 8 minutes then did my lunges and then on the bike for 5 minutes.

Then I did step ups, back lunges with bicep rolls, butt kicks (more of me running in place for 30 sec.), front lunges with lateral lifts, reverse squats with boxing moves, ball bounces, pile squats with the ball, push-up planks (hold for 30 sec.), and shoulder presses. I think I did a couple of other exercises, but I have blanked now. I did each of these 3 times with one 2 minute rest between the big sets.

After that I then rode the bike for another 15 minutes. Then I came home and made a quesadilla for dinner. Overall I am really happy with this week. I do have some challenges this week including book club tomorrow night and a work lunch on Thursday at Olive Garden. I am going to plan ahead and stick with that. I also plan to continue writing down my foods and getting to the gym at least 3 more times this week.

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
