Well, I'm back to doing my weigh-in Weds. I don't have money to hire a trainer this spring, altho if I came into some Lottery money, that's what I'd get!! But that doesn't mean I can give up on my goal --- to lose 35 lbs by my birthday at the end of July. Statistically speaking, if I lose 1 lb a week, I can make it, and dang, right now that sounds really easy!! Ok, maybe not easy, but do-able.But then there are days like today .... stress is when the cravings kick in. I splurged on some Hershey's covered pretzels today. It only ruined my day by 300 calories, not bad considering I made sure I headed to the gym for a good workout.
Faced with a time crunch, I boogied on the elliptical for a mile, did my stretches, my crunches with a medicine ball, some "seated torso twists with medicine ball" (sounds fancy, huh? lol ) and then hopped on the treadmill. I've been avoiding it because I get some serious leg pain for some reason. But I'm determined to get into some running. Half Mile in 8 minutes - didn't push myself, wanted to see how the legs react to short intervals. So far, only a few slight twinges, hoping some aspirin before bed will do the trick. If not, I'll be having a nice long visit with my heating pad over the weekend!!
End result of the past week's work: down 2 lbs. *pat on the back*
(Don't you just love Maxine's viewpoints?? hahaha)
