Cardio Party

Last night I did the Cardio Party Turbo Jams workout. It felt good. I didn't know if I was going to be able to finish it. It is pretty intense. I'm sure that is why I am sore this morning. :-) Feels good.

Turbo Jams

I did Turbo Jams last night. It felt good. I'm going to do it again tonight. On the go biggest losers blog Jeff posted about the Season Finally and how Jerry talked about how once he got his mind off it and let his body just do the work everything fell into place. I feel like that is what I need to do. I spend way too much time thinking about what I should or should not be doing. I know what I need to do. I just have to let my body go through the motions.

Weekends always turn out so weird

My weekends always seem to get filled with such weird things. Friday after I got off work at 6 we decided to go on a last minute camping trip. It was way fun, but because it was last minute we didn't plan our food very well. This was good and bad. Good because there wasn't a bunch of food around, and bad because I didn't take any fruits or veggies. We spent Saturday fishing and I got a kinda nasty sunburn. I feel like I am really retaining water. I'm hoping by tomorrow morning I will feel normal again. We'll see.

5K

Saturday I did the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. It was a 5K and there were over 18,000 other participants!!! So cool! It felt great to be a part of something so big. 5K sounds so good doesn't it? Well, I thought so too until I realized that it really is only just over 3 miles. :-) The long bridge is what 4 round trip and I used to do that several times a week. Funny how I have wondered how I was always in such great shape earlier in my life. :-) DUH!!! I have a new goal to do a 5K at least once a week. Something about that just sounds good. I think I could even get to the point where I could mostly run it. Then I will start the trail to a half marathon.

This morning I was down to 186.2!!! When I started losing weight in November I was 220!!! That is a huge loss of 33.8 pounds!!! That is more than half a Trevin!!! If I can keep the same pace or even pick it up for the next six months I will be at 152.4!!! Then one more time and I will be right where I want to be long term. This is do-able. It may take a long time, but it will happen.

Where is my momentum?

I feel like I have just been kinda lolly gagin' along the last month or so. Shawn and I decided that as much as we love going to the gym we should use that money to pay off our cars faster, so now I am working out my plan to exercise. I had the most success when I was doing my Turbo Jams. I let my niece borrow them, but I think I will get those back and commit myself to doing that at least four times a week.
