Yesterday I was so excited with my results and a little bogged down with an eye infection that I decided not to do my strength training in the morning. I planned to do it in the evening after the kids were in bed and Marc was back at work. I had also hoped to go on the elliptical in the afternoon or early evening.
In the afternoon we had some company so I didn't get on the elliptical however after dinner Elizabeth wasn't feeling so hot, I think she is getting Juliet's cold, so I put on a movie and hopped on the elliptical. however I only managed to get 40 minutes in because it was squeaking pretty bad and leaving some residue behind. So I got off and e-mailed my handman, who fixed it once he got home.
Once the kids were in bed I didn't feel like doing strength training so I just filled up my class of water, tucked into four loads of laundry and caught up on some of my PVR files. I figured even if I do strength just twice this week that will be fine. However this morning i woke up with this intense desire to do my strength training and I now honour my body's need for sleep, exercise and food, so down I came to workout. I will also being going to participate in a deep Aquafit class today. I was planning on getting the elliptical but I think that will be fine, I have a pretty full day anyway. I hope your day is full of life and vigor. Happy Thursday.

Zen corner
So I lied in bed last night pondering my existence while Marc snored like a trucker and by the morning I realized that I am like the snow... melting.
Yes that is right today i weighed in and I am down another 5 lbs and 4 and 3/4". But the best part is where I lost the inches from. Here is the outline.
Neck 13 3/4" down 1/4"
Shoulders 44 3/4" down 3/4"
Biceps 13 1/2" no change though I would love to see more change on my armajello, next time
Chest 41 1/2" woohoo the boobs are being to get smaller at last, it may only be 1/2" but I will take it
Waist 41" that is down 1 1/2" I am so proud
Hips 46 1/2" down 1 1/2" super super proud
Thighs 26" down 1 1/2" way to go Michelle, way to go
Calves 15" down 1/4"
I am so pleased and beaming ear to ear. This morning I put on the jeans I have started wearing a belt with and just to see what would happen beltless I pulled them down and they slid easily off. Can I go buy new clothes now, just one piece?

March 2nd
Yesterday was a good day. I got my strength training done in the morning, my knee is starting to bother me even during stretching so I will need to come up with some interesting solutions. In the afternoon Elizabeth mellowed out to a movie while I enjoyed an hour on the elliptical. The rest of the day I enjoyed, had an interview and watched a movie with Marc.
Today I enjoyed a Zumba class with Super Sonny, and my dear friend Shannon. It was a great workout as usual and I am looking forward to the new cd and routine next week. Shannon came back for lunch and a chat which was good though i didn't get my shower in until 2:30 ish. Oh well.
Tonight I am off to teach Muscle conditioning and will get home and maybe do some knee strengthening while watching another movie. I have coupons from Rogers that expire March 5th. At least I don't feel the need to indulge in treats while I watch.
Tomorrow morning I weigh in and it may be the first day of my cycle or the last so hopefully that won't influence my results too much. Can't weight, I mean wait to see.

Nothing to do with my weigh loss journey but more so on my tech savvy journey. I just figured out how to change the time zone for my posts. It always bothered me that it wasn't showing the right time and I just figured out how to change it without any support from my handsome computer nerd of a husband. I am so proud of myself.

I can't believe we are into March already. I am so excited to be one month into my journey. I am really looking forward to my weigh in on Wednesday. I am finding that I am wanting to eat more and drink less. I feel like nibbling most evenings. I hope it has something to do with the fact my cycle restarts around Wednesday. If not I fear I am temporarily losing some momentum and I am hoping my weigh in will recommit me to my long term goal. Again I stopped doing my affirmations for a few days, and almost went to sleep without doing them again last night but got myself up and quickly jotted them down. I do sleep so much better ended the day with the three things I am grateful for or proud of and affirming my goals.
This morning I woke up excited and ready for my workout. I did my "got no time" strength training and either this afternoon or early evening I plan to go on the elliptical for 30 - 60 minutes. I have an interview tonight at 8:15 pm so I doubt I will get on after bed. Maybe if Marc decides to go on the elliptical once the girlsa re in bed and I am home I will do some pilates or yoga, but we will see how the rest of the day goes.

This morning I went to Aquafit, this time to participate. It was a great class a lot of upper body. The instructor was my head of Aquatics and she looks amazing. After class I wanted to tell her how great he looks. She has lost 62 lbs. I told her about my journey and she gave me a big hug. she lost her weight as well by listening to her stomach and to stop eating once satisfied. It is not hard. It was great to hear and extremely encouraging that this is possible.
I am feeling good and I feel I look better when I see myself in the mirror. I can't wait to weigh in on the 3rd and see what is going on.

February 26th
It is earlier than I would normally blog but I just finsihed a bellydancing DVD and I am so alert now. It was a lot of fun, I haven't bellydanced in ages and I could tell, my form was not so good. This DVD put you through the paces. It was straight combos right from the beginning. It wasn't long before I was sweaty and really having to concentrate on what came next. I hope it increased my mental accuity for the day. So will my Aquafit members. yesterday I kept calling a ski a jack. They asked me "Who is Jack and why are you thinking about him so much?"
Both kids are in school today so the plan is to teach Aquafit, come home do some Hip hop abs, I am all about dance and my belly today I guess. Tonight Elizabeth and I are home alone, Marc has an appointment with his personal trainer and Juliet is going babysitting, so I will throw on a movie for her and get on the elliptical. That should be adequate. I need to make up for those smores Sonny pointed out were so bad.
