So I wasn't going to weigh in today.....I've had a rough few weeks or month. Between going to Mass for Isaiah's tournament, going home to Ohio and being 'bloated and moody', I haven't been too confident in my workouts or weigh-ins. I was going to push my weigh-in to next week - like Jerry said, it's not like I have a deadline to weigh-in, there's no absolute rule that I have to weigh in today.
But then I got into my new workout routine of doing weights on Mondays, Weds., and Fri., and running on Tuesdays & Thursdays (and the weekends) and I noticed this past Monday that I felt REALLY good during & after my weight workout. I already felt stronger, I didn't have a bad attitude about doing weights instead of running, I feel like something clicked. Like hey, maybe Jerry does actually know what he's talking about! lol
I did well again yesterday with my legs/back workout - and that was without Jerry being there -- he had to go to the firehouse. I pushed myself, raised some of my weights when I needed and just had a great overall workout. On Monday, when I did my arms workout, I had enough time that I was able to throw 10 minutes in on the elliptical as well. Since yesterday was legs I didn't do elliptical so I could rest them; plus, I knew I'd be running today.
Soooo....needless to say, I went ahead & weighed in this morning and lost 3 pounds! 73 total, only 27 to my overall goal! And probably 2 pounds until I officially and definitely weigh less than Jerry. :) I will confess though....if I hadn't lost, I probably would've pushed my weigh-in to next week. Haha! That wouldn't really be fair....but it's how I felt! lol
Had a great run again this morning, ran for 40 minutes on the treadmill then did 8 on the elliptical. Over 600 calories burned supposedly.
As for my overall goals, I think it's safe to say I've reached one of them officially - to not have to shop in the plus size section or stores anymore. I bought jeans last week that were in a 'normal' size (3 sizes down from my old ones) and bought a skirt in Ohio that was 4 sizes smaller than I used to wear. I'm more excited about shopping now than I've ever been....but not excited about spending too much money - I'm stingy. lol I am going to shop for a new dress for a baby shower I'm going to in September so I can't wait to do that! What a difference 10 months makes. lol
