Yup the subject lines sums up today. The scale states that I went up one pound. Not a happy day for me, but I guess I did drink some alcohol over the weekend and allow myself some sweets. Erin really thinks that I am not getting 1200 calories a day since I am just staying in the same weight area. So that is my goal this week to try and figure out the calories better. She also reiterated that muscle weighs more. I am definitely building muscle so I know that my body is changing and clothes are fitting better, but it is just hard when the scale does not reflect these changes. I will just continue to plug along and hopefully something will happen soon.
As to the workout--I HURT!!!!! I started out with 5 minutes on the treadmill (I did go this morning and do 40 minutes), then I did my walking weighted lunges and then it began. Erin did not call it a mini-bootcamp, but I really think that is what I did. Every exercise was for 30 seconds. I did push ups on the exercise ball, then shoulder presses starting at 7 pounds and had to go down to 5 for the second round, then triceps, and then weighted squats. I did those exercises twice. Then I did flies, bent over triceps, and weighted skater dips. Then we got out the big exercise band and I did front pulls, side pulls and triceps pulls. Then hamstrings on the ball, side crunches, slow bicycles, and the glute machine.
I am so sore tonight that lifting my arms to get things out of cupboards is almost impossible!!!!! I am sure I will be sore tomorrow and on through the week. I will say that I was slightly sore before I began the workout from my dancing over the weekend.
My trainer was impressed that I managed to dance the whole night and I told her that I even did squats on the dance floor :)
Hope everyone has a good week!!!!
