Howdy, howdy!
I'm freshly showered after a good kickboxing workout =) Yes!
I have two weigh ins to report. The challenge I'm participating in on fatsecret recommends weighing daily, which normally I wouldn't do, but I thought I'd give it a shot to see if it would be motivating or discouraging.
Monday's weight: 263 - Down 1 lb! Go me!
Today's weight: 261.5 - Down another 1.5!
I anticipate to see some fluctuation the next couple of days, so I will do my best not to get discouraged by it.

I figured out it's Week 14
I'm very proud of myself. I have worked out 4 1/2 times this week! The half was tonight. I tried really hard to keep up with Denise Austin, but it was just too dancey and I was afraid I'd trip over myself, hit my head on a chair, and my husband would come home to find me unconscious in a sports bra. I know he's my husband and all, but I really don't care for ANYONE to see me in a sports bra.
I can't do workouts that have a lot of dance-type moves, or if they change moves too quickly. I spent the rest of my workout time searching for videos for next time. Youtube is awesome, I just have to say.
I got on the fatsecret.com bandwagon... my sister talked it up pretty well enough to convince me to give it a try. I joined a challenge that starts Sunday. Nothing tricky about the challenge, just your basic "log your calories, workout, drink water" kind of thing. If I remember correctly, it's a 4 week challenge and the goal is to lose 5%, but that's 13lbs for me and that's a bit lofty for 4 weeks for me (I normally wouldn't aim for more than 8 in that time frame). It would be nice, but I won't kick myself if I don't make it.
I'm really hoping that Weeks 15-18 finally show some improvement!
No yoga tomorrow. Vacation for the instructors. Bummer. =P

I don't even know what week it is anymore...
I'm alive!
I hope I'm not jinxing myself, but I think I've finally punched a hole in my mental block. I started going to a yoga class with my sister on Saturdays and it's just blown me away. I LOVE it. And it's made me really want to be in better shape so I can do better in my practices. The past 2 weeks, I've gotten in at least 2 workouts during the week. Sometimes yoga, sometimes other stuff. I found a ton of workout videos on youtube, so I won't be bored any time soon.
I haven't really lost any weight, but it's changing - if that makes sense. The scale isn't budging, but I've been wearing shirts that were too tight on me not too long ago. My husband has told me I look like I've lost some weight. I feel A LOT better.
I'm going to hit that 37 lbs. Watch out!
Weigh in for this week: 264 (down 1 lb from last weigh in on here)
