5lbs down!

I did the dreaded weigh-in before zumba tonight. I was SHOCKED to see I am down 5lbs! I didn't think it was much is a first but then I picked up a 5lb bag of potatoes. 5lbs in the right direction! I am so so so excited to finally see some results from my hard work.

Ambitious?

This week, I did 4 zumba classes. Yes, my knees and back are killling me and my arms feel like noodles. Whoever said there was such a thing as good pain? I usually only do 2 classes, so 4 is a big deal! One class included forcing myself out of bed at 8am on a Saturday. If anyone knows me, that NEVER EVER happens. Next week I might be able to fit in 5! Next challenge, diet. Just after I started zumba, we did a huge shopping trip. One where you don't need to go again for a month or so. So we are going to the store this weekend. On my list? Carbmaster yogurt (I love yogurt), fruit, veggies, and turkey for turkey sandwiches (flatbread). Big goal this week? Less fast food. No buying crap on break at work. (Should save money in the long run.) I have already gotten a lot better about grazing junk food after dinner. Ready, set, go!

Monday, Monday.

I started this blog a while ago, but I am just now stepping up to the plate. Joined a gym Jan 31st, but started taking zumba classes a few weeks prior.

Today I really didn't want to go to the gym. Bad case of the Mondays. I forced my lazy butt out of bed. Went to a different instructor's zumba class because it fit better with my work schedule today. She was fun!

Worked 8 hours today. Hard not to have your relationship status rubbed in your face when men are buying flowers for the women in their lives. Ugh, Valentine's Day is tomorrow! I know my man is out there and I'm waiting. Patiently. Sometimes.

Since I started classes, I feel I have had more energy, been a little more optimistic, and I have dropped a couple pounds! Just a couple. It has been so nice to have everyone's support. I hope this can be a permanent lifestyle change for me.

PS~ I do realize it is officially Tuesday... But it is about Monday.
