My Hip Hop Experience
Jan 20, 2008
So today I took the plunge and went to a hip hop dance class. Oh my goodness was it the longest hour of my life. It wasn't hard, but it used muscles you never even knew you had. For me it wasn't necessarily about getting the steps just perfect, but just about moving and getting my heart rate up. I am super sore right now and can barely walk. However I really enjoyed the class and will definitely go back.
A Huge Victory
Jan 12, 2008
I have an absolute huge victory that I wanted to share with everyone. I have been so motivated and encouraged lately by all the challenges and what-not going on that I have been really giving my all at losing weight. All week I have either gone to Curves for at least 50 minutes or rode my bike for about 45 minutes or so. Today I didn't go to Curves for various reasons including my back hurting and I woke up late. So instead I decided to ride my bike. Here is the victory, I rode my bike 19 miles, yes 19 miles. I realized that I rode quite a ways but didn't think I had been gone very long, but I was gone about 2 hours. I am so totally pumped about it and feel like I can do anything. I am a little upset because I would love to go back out tomorrow and ride some more but I think the weather is supposed to suck. We'll see, maybe I'll actually get up early before the rain/snow hits.
Failed Attempt
Oct 07, 2007
Alright so I totally failed my goal for last week. I am trying so hard to eat the right things but am just having a hard time because of having no restriction. I know last week I said I was going to stick with that goal until I accomplished it but think that I can better focus my efforts somewhere else until I get proper restriction.
So my goal for this week is to pump up my workout. I go to Curves and typically go around the circuit twice. This week I am going to go around the circuit 3 times. Let's see how that goes. Maybe if I can bump up my workout a lil bit that will compensate somewhat for the extra calories I am consuming.

A Day Late, but my goal for the week
Oct 01, 2007
Alright my goal for this week is to stay at or below 1200 calories each day. I am so scared of this goal and I know I am going to cheat. It is terrible but this is probably going to be the absolute hardest thing for me to take charge of. My problem is when I get close to my calorie count for the day I just stop because I want the numbers to be right and figure if I don't count it then it doesn't count. I know I am only cheating myself. I think I have decided that this is going to be my goal until I can successfully complete it. I have to get this under control.
Goal Accomplished
Sep 29, 2007
Alright it is now Saturday and I have accomplished my goal of no sweets for the week. Let me tell you how hard it was. My office had donuts for our staff meeting Tuesday and they were still in the office Wednesday. Then my dad was sick and in the hospital for 3 days and that was really difficult and I wanted something to take the edge off. I just kept telling myself that I could do it. Then my friends father passed away and I went to the funeral. After the funeral everyone went back to the house and there was food, including brownies and the yummiest looking chocolate chip cookies ever. I just kept telling myself that it would be okay, only a few more days to go. But I did it, I didn't cheat even though I knew that I could and no one but me would know. I feel proud that I was actually able to make it through. Now I have to think of something for the week coming. Any ideas???
For this Week
Sep 23, 2007
Alright I have started this goal thing. I am going to set up a weekly goal and force myself to accomplish it. My goals are going to be related to making better choices to promote weight loss.
Last week my goal was to work out at least 3 times. I accomplished that goal.
This weeks goal is going to be a tough one. No sweets for this week.
I am just going to tell myself that it is just this week that I have to get through and we will decide on next week once we get there.
