Before After

Saturday stats -- still moving steadily downward. :)

So this morning I weighed in at 112.8 kg (248.68 lb) which is a loss of 0.6 kg (1.32 lb) since last Saturday and 3.2kg (7.05 lb) overall.  I hoped for more, but as I've said in previous weeks, they've warned me that since starting group training I might not lose in the first few weeks, and might even gain due to building muscle.  Does that mean I'm not building muscle then because I'm losing?  I can sure feel my muscles, even just during everyday activities.  Reaching for something, twisting or bending, I can really feel my ab muscles kicking in.  Not really soreness or even discomfort, just feeling them working, which I'm not used to.

My four weeks is up now -- I have to officially join in order to continue group training, and we've already decided I'm going to do that.  I also haven't had my official weigh and measure, which I'll have to schedule in early next week so I can extend my membership at the same time.  I'm anxious to see how many centimeters I've lost.

I'm really proud of myself, because this is really tough for me, and yet I keep going, no matter how difficult and no matter the weather.  It's been really hot lately!  But I've gotten in at least 3 workouts each week, which is what they recommended in the beginning.  I'd like to try adding a strength training class now.  They only offer that one night per week (there is another class but it's during the day when I'm at work) but then there is both strength and cardio in the fit camp, and on Thursday the sweat camp does have a lot of strength training in it.  So I'll either try that on Tuesday or another sweat camp on Thursday in addition to the M/W/F fit camp workouts.

Well, off to grab some lunch, then back here to try and stay cool the rest of the day, as it's another scorcher.  I'll be checking in on some favorite bloggers as well -- hope you all had a great week!
