So today was a good day. Got up and me and Tina went to the gym. It's nice to have someone to go with and lee each other motivated. Our intent was to go to ABC (abs butt and core) however it was cancelled. We were told we could stay in the room to do a workout ourselves.
So after so much training with Brian and taking the class a lot we came up with a routine of exercises to do. It was great! It was so nice to be able to use all the equipment and just have fun! We ended up working out just short of an hour and both of us were pouring sweat by the end of it.
There were two great things that happened today. The first one and the big one.. I weighed in before Brian or Tina got there. I was nervous, I want to see the pounds come off but I'm trying to focus more on my overall wellness and fitness. I want to see myself push forward and be able to do things I couldn't do before and to be able to do them longer. Well I have lost four pounds!!! I'm so excited. Not only for the loss but I was able to hold full plank for 1 minute straight and I have always either dropped to my knees or took a break. It was great! The next goal for full plank is two minutes. That's what I'm talking about. Being able to push myself physically and just have a healthier lifestyle and improve my overall wellness.
I know each week I'm not going to lose that and plus I haven't weighed since before New York. I am on pace to losing just under 2 pounds a week. For me that's great. That's sustainable and the healthy way to lose without it coming back.
The other success point today is I am finally comfortable in shorts, in public. If you know me at all I never wear shorts and never have. I have always felt uncomfortable and would rather sweat my butt off than show my thighs. Today I wore shorts to the gym and to the grocery store after and felt great! It's the changes I am seeing in my body that is making me more excited than the pounds lost! Even though they go together :)
Well another good day, another good tale, and another good accomplishment! Moving forward with the new diet and the ever changing new me:)
Happy cookies !!!
