191.6

So I promised I would post my numbers last Sunday and completely for got to do it. So I weighed myself this morning and came in at 191.6. I had Frosted Mini Wheats for breakfast, a Lean Cuisine Panini for Lunch...and I have no idea what I'm having for dinner yet.
I had packed my gym back to go straight to the YMCA after work, but was running late this morning and forgot to grab my bag. So I will have to go home and not get so comfortable that I can't get up and go....oh but I did do a 20 minute Express Zumba DVD this morning.



191.6 (I'm going to start posting my weight as I post entries, you'll see it in the corner like this).

"I hope I can lose weight at home" - Shay

I'm sitting here watching "The Biggest Loser," and all of a sudden I start to cry. For the first time in a long time I felt regret. I originally wanted to go to the open call for TBL, and I didn't, because I thought they were only looking for couples and I had no one to go with me. Then the season premier airs and it's all ppl that don't know each other...I thought no big deal I can do this at home.
Honestly, I don't think I've lost any weight since the show has started. There was a point where it seemed to just be falling off so easy, I didn't even think it was possible to fail...tonight I'm feeling defeated.

How not to lose weight Tip for the Day:
Bake a GIANT COOKIE and help eat it.

Taking a look back...

Taking a look back I know that I have my best success when I post regularly. Not only that but when I also post my numbers. So even though there hasn't been much progress going on for the last two weeks, I'm challenging myself to get moving again. The last time I posted my weight I believe I was at 187. I haven't been on the scale for about a week and a half, so I'm going to give myself til next Sunday to post my numbers.

And to go real far back way before the birth of this blog and way before well anything that is currently going on in my life. I have a friend from Junior High and High School that I haven't seen since my Junior Year. I have recently been in contact with her again via Facebook, today she participated in the Susan G. Koman 5k, and shared on her wall that I inspired her to get off her butt. That made me feel amazing...me? I inspire people? That is so far beyond anything I would ever do.
I used to be the girl that had "girl problems" in P.E. just so I wouldn't have to participate, would forget my gym shorts, or would just stand around and now 15+ years later I'm inspiring people to get up and move.

Her saying that is part of the reason I know I have to keep going, because if I quit now...I would have not only failed myself but anyone else that I may be able to inspire in the future.

So time to get moving again...starting first thing in the morning.

94°F

Yup it's 94°F inside my house right now. I'm hot, sweaty and very uncomfortable. Our A/C went out yesterday while we were at work. We came home and walked into an oven. I called to get it repaired but we didn't get anyone out here til almost 5pm today. By the time he figure out what was wrong it was to late for him to get the parts he needed.
I didn't go work out today, for a few reasons. Normally my husband picks up our son from daycare, BUTTTTTTT, since he was home with the A/C man I went to pick him up. It was also to hot to even think about staying in doors so (sadly) we went to McD's for dinner and then to DQ for dessert.
I really don't like McD's, but I love DQ...but I was half way good and shared a banana split with the hubby.
Not only was it to hot to turn on the stove, but it was really just to hot to stay indoors...did I say that already, sorry the heat is frying my brain.
Ok, I think I might have heat induced ADD.
Anyways, I didn't want to go work out and then come home to a sweltering house, and I couldn't really leave PJ (our 4 yr old) here in the heat. So that's what's going on in my little corner of the world.
I'm hoping this will all be fixed tomorrow, if not I may go to my Zumba class and take PJ to the nursery. Maybe even hit the pool with him afterwards.

Hope it's cooler where you're at :o)

I'm still here...

It's been an insane couple of weeks. I want this blog to continue to be about my weight loss journey and not all about Zumba. In the past 3 weeks I've worked on and received 4 certifications - phew I'm tired. Tomorrow I'm actually teaching a class at the YMCA. Since the past couple of weeks have been consumed with Zumba I haven't really had much to blog about. But I did want to let everyone know I'm still here and doing ok.

Notice the new background...October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So spread the word, show your support, do whatever you do to spread awareness.

It's been a busy week...

But my mouth is feeling better and I'm able to work out again!!!

This is what my week has kinda looked like:
Last Thursday: Step Class
Friday: Date night, had a blast and was much needed
Saturday: Drove to Cocoa Beach, had a nice walk in the sand with the family
Sunday: ZUMBA Certification!!!! Yup I finally got it.
Monday: I took the night off.
Tuesday: Zumba in the AM, Weight Training at lunch, Kickboxing in the evening.
Wednessday: Zumba
Thursday: Swimming


And I've lost 3lbs since saturday :o)
