Shocking Loss
i've weighed myself at least 50 times this morning. when i got up about 10 times...an hour laters 10 more times...passing by the bathroom a few more times and now again another 8 plus times. i have to say i'm a little shocked at what the scale is saying. 221.6 to 218.0...thats a 3.6 loss!!! but heres one of the main factors. i'm ending that TOM and possibly water weight.
the other factor is that i'm kinda doing an intense but fun dvd call "turbo jam - learn and burn" and although it wasn't too crazy i could feel every muscle i used including some i had to blow the dust off of. turno jams brag to be high calorie work outs but come on now!!! 3.6 in a day is shocking.
thanks ashleyb for the great advise! i am going to look into your recommendations for yoga and yes i want that spiritual peace that i hear yoga can bring. i have also started a weight lifting exercise session (i make it sound like hardcore power wt. lifting...lol) for now its light wt. but its going through the motions thats important w/ the extra weight and i'll increase as i need to. as for my son who will be 18 and daughter going on 21..i have been blessed w/ them. what i'm dealing w/ is small beans compared to what other parents out there are dealing w/ and i know theres far worse things that could happen than kids growing up and becoming independant and mom not liking the feeling of the empty nest. i just have to keep reminding myself that!! =) they are very good respectful young adults that work and attend college and are working toward a wonderful future and just having a little fun along the way.
well i'm off to "learn and burn"!!!!!! =) i need to get a little more stricker on my choices of eating though....i have been very easy on myself during this long pitty party i've been having.
hope everyone is having a great day!!!!
