The scale is moving down!!!

Posted August 31, 2008 * Comments(16)

Well…Today the scale is down 2 since the beginning of the week.  But I will not celebrate until I see it go down 4 more to 234.  That would put me below the lowest weight I have gotten to, since I started. 

Maybe the training is helping?   I have been monitoring my food and I have been eating more fat than I am supposed to this week.  Pretty good with the cals…but way up on the fat. 

It is hard to eat more protein and stay in the fat range.  Well, tomorrow starts a new week…so I can work on it again.

I really want to try to get some classes in.  I read that the BodyPump class is the best fat burning class ever:

  • BODYPUMP™ is the original barbell class that strengthens your entire body. This 60-minute workout challenges all your major muscle groups by using the best weight-room exercises like squats, presses, lifts and curls. Great music, awesome instructors and your choice of weight inspire you to get the results you came for – and fast!
  • a rapid fat-burning class…verified as providing the fastest fat loss of any fitness class!!!
  • Burn up to 600 calories per class for fat loss
  • Improve your strength
  • Improve your general fitness
  • Shape and tone your muscles
  • Improve your bone density (helps ward off osteoporosis)
  • Gives you a sense of achievement

And it is cheaper than a personal trainer–it is FREE with my membership!  So I need to get my calendar out, and the class schedule…and just make some appointments with myself–and then keep them!  Ok here are the times and days they are available that work with my schedule

Monday at 10:00 am 

Weds at 9:30 am (training at 11:00am so not sure)

Friday at 10:30 am (training at 12:30)

Sat at 10:00 am (definitely do this one)

YEAH!  I have put them on my calendar!

There are some other classes that look interesting…bodyflow, bodycombat and bodyattack…

but I will just focus on this one for now:)

So…my goals for this week:

  • Eat better…less fat!
  • Plan ahead for exercise and food…then stick to the plan
  • Take some body pump classes
  • Do more cardio
  • Log my food right away…so I won’t forget what I ate later
  • Get more sleep!

Hope the scale starts to move more this week!!!

Have a great Labor day–and for all the people in the path of the Hurricane…you are in my prayers!
