Wish me luck! This afternoon is my longest Les Mills Pump Workout EVER…55 minutes of lifting!…I’m excited, I’m actually ridiculously pleased about how strong I’m getting and I don’t dread these exercises like I did with Insanity (knees b!tched the whole time). Plus, my body definitely responded faster to strength training than pure cardio.

The only thing I need to work on is my diet, I don’t go over my set caloric intake for the day but I don’t pick good choices sometimes. Like I just had two Keebler Fudge cookies because I “needed” an energy boost lol. I’m still seeing results so perhaps it’s not all too bad. I’m adjusting to my NEW work schedule…YES! I finally found another job. I’m making bank…well okay..a bit exaggerated there..but I’m doing really well and now I can indulge myself a little bit…AWESOME WEIGHT LOSS REWARDS IT IS!

Badges of Triumph: How to?

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 15:22:40 -0400

As I lose more and more inches from doing Les Mills Pump and my everyday workouts, I see more and more stretch marks showing up. I look at this with a confusing mix of sadness, irritation, and triumph. The elation of seeing results usually overshadows the other two feelings. I know these are a natural part of losing weight as well as genetics and other factors.

I know losing weight is not going to be perfect. But I sure wished that my skin looked better.

I’m trying to find ways to minimize their appearance but at the same time I just shrug it off. I know sometime in the future they will bother me more when I want to wear revealing clothes.

Is there anyway to minimize stretch marks? How do you deal with it?

On another note, my skinny jeans fit me again. Much better in fact! I also purchased new ones. In pink and purple! They just perk me up!

I SQUAT A TOTAL OF 20 POUNDS YESTERDAY! That might not mean much to heavy lifters but when you squat for 5 minutes straight REPEATEDLY with no pauses..its definitely a triumph!!!! WOO! Yay I love Les Mills Pump!

LoL, yeah yeah, corny I know but who can resist that face. Yes, I love the Mass Effect Games hence her name. FemShep Rocks! My Puppy ALSO SUPREMELY ROCKS because she’s 5 months today and she’s an awesome walk/jog buddy! Love this girl!

(She’s a mix of German Shepherd and some unknown other guard dog variety says my Vet)

“Sometimes it’s the hardest to motivate the people closest to you…if they aren’t receptive, you’re the bad guy because you keep “pushing”. The key is NEVER to give up because at one point you were in the same shoes as they are…and wished there was someone there to urge you on”

Calorie Intake: 1741

Day’s Calorie Deficit: 1106 = Goal Met

Workout: 1 hour walk with puppy and Les Mills Pump Sport Attack

Thoughts: Cardio days, if only I can stop doing ANY kind of jumping in my workouts. I CAN do it but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. There’s always some low impact version but I feel like a slacker when I do it. I was really tired and there was a definite increase in my hunger. Nothing like the mindless binge urge I used to have. Hunger is most like due to adding Jillian Michael’s Body Revolution to Les Mills Pump.

Workout: Pump Challenge & JMBR Workout 1

Thoughts: Second day of trying out JMBR’s workout, I did Workout 1 and it was really great. I’m really happy I’m able to use my dumbbells again. Les Mills Pump was awesome as usual. I kinda wished it wasn’t Pump Challenge again bec I really like the longer workouts.

Workout Week of March 3-8

Weekly Official Weigh-In

Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:47:00 -0500

Stats

Feb 15, 2013: 178

Feb 22, 2013: 174 (-4)

March 1, 2013: 174

Goal: 140

Ultimate Goal Weight: 120-125

Well I was SUPER reluctant to weigh myself this morning because I knew I was going to gain but I needed accountability so I did it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I maintained my weight. The reason I was all bleghhhhh about weighing myself ISN’T (evidenced by my bodymedia fit posts) because I did bad on the nutrition or exercise front. (THAT is such a GREAT thing to say!) It was logical to me that I’ll gain some weight due to the fact I’m using heavier weights in Les Mills and I’ve added Body Revolution to the mix. As you know muscles and cells going through the wonderful healing cycle can add temporary weight gain, glycogen blah blah blah (I’m not going into the science of it, I’ve barely finished my 1st cup of coffee, lol, google it!). So the FACT that I’ve maintained is suuuucchhh a WOOHOO moment. So YAY for that!

On another note, I’m feeling achy, bloaty, and I wanted to punch the TV yesterday when one of those stupid reality TV shows (hate asinine people) came in sooooo my tardmunch friend is definitely coming soon. So that’s another contributing factor.

So I’ll just keep on truckin and see what happens next weigh-in!

Happy HAPPY Friday everyone!
