Wednesday - Day 11
I'm still here and still exercising. I managed a 2 mile walk at work yesterday afternoon to get out and enjoy the nice weather. I must be one of the last ones to walk with a cassette walkman, but it's mine and I don't have an ipod or mp3 player yet. The music really helped me pick up my pace. I listen to a lot of 80s music and it was motivating and fun.
I also got in my yoga and pilates last night - I didn't think I would but I went downstairs to get ready for bed and decided I would. I did 10 minute solution pilates - flexibility and Yoga for Meditation - Wind.
4:30 seemed really early this morning and I was sleeping so well, but I am committed (or do I need to be committed? :) ) so I got out of bed, dressed and popped in Firm Total Sculpt plus Abs - not my favorite, but I am slowly learning that I like Cardio Sculpt or Cardio better than total Sculpt tapes (which is a complete opposite of when I first started working out). But it is a good workout and I will do it again.
I decided to day to complete the Firm January Rotation as is now and then substitute videos in in February. I have been enjoying my Firm workouts and I like not having to think about what to do. I am going to add in yoga videos on my rest days but I have them all planned out. I think most of those are going to be virgin workouts for me.
Today was official weigh-in and I am definitely down 2 lbs! I was also swollen so I think that the 188 on the scale yesterday might be for real, but we'll wait and see - 2 lbs since the New Year is great to me. I also measured, but most was the same, clothes are fitting better though. I think I have lost 3/4" total so far - in my arm and in my thigh. I'm interested in seeing my results after completing my f irst rotation.
Eating is still fairly under control. I didn't do too bad last night and we went out to eat. I did eat a little too much, but it wasn't the worst thing I could have done. I didn't come home and eat ice cream so that was a big plus!
I hope to get in a walk this afternoon - the sun is out and the temps are in the 60s - so I am going to go enjoy the nice weather on my break this afternoon.
Pilates and yoga in store for tonight, not sure exactly what yet - it's a mood thing for me.
Until tomorrow!
