Weigh-In #5

I’m trying not to be discouraged & I’m trying to remember what the personal trainer at the gym told Tony who told me, “Two people can weight exactly the same – but one could be up to THREE dress sizes smaller.” So as you can guess my 5th weigh-showed no change.

127 pounds.

I kicked this week’s ass too!

I followed every nutrition rule I made for myself with the exception of Saturday night appetizers & Korean BBQ for lunch on Sunday. BUT, you know what is great...I feel AWESOME.

I’ve slept well...clothes feel good, my post workout glow has been complimented on, I’m saving money cooking at home, & I end up getting out a lot of aggression that seriously feels like brain toxins....clouding my head, making me emo and/or irritable.

This week my fitness schedule is/will be:

Monday: Spin AM & Yoga

Tuesday: Spin AM

Wednesday: Strength and Tone & Ballet

Thursday: Boot Camp

Friday: Shane Spark’s Master Class OR swimming 500 yards (depending on traffic...LOL)

Saturday: Cardio Barre or hiking (depending if I go out Friday)

I did measure myself with my nifty measuring tape from Sister #3.

Waist: 27.75 inches
Thighs: 18.5 inches
Hips: 37 inches
Chest: 34 inches

So even though I did not change in weight, I did lose inches in both my waist & thighs. J Working out has been fun – a lot of variety going on and I am in love with Cardio Barre.

My goals this week are going to be:

1) Stretch at least 15 minutes every day. Try to get my middle/right side splits back.

2) Eat completely vegan Tuesdays AND Thursdays.

How are you all doing?? Let me know. Some challengers have been blogging in their existing blogs, some leave comments, some email me directly and some have even created their own blogs to log in their goals, etc.

I’ll leave you with this known fact (think of it more as a reminder).

Kcal Input < Kcal Output AND 3,500 calories equals ONE pound.


and of course...fitnesspiration photo! This week is of the cardio barre instructor we had this past Sunday, Kamilah...who I just realized was in the Top 6 for SYTYCD season 1. She's as gorgeous in real life & is so kind, motivating & inspiring!

Where do you take cardio barre? I'd love to join you sometime!

My weight has also not budged in a while. But I feel better, and my clothes fit better. I like to think that I'm toning =P
