Feeling Stronger each day

So I'm tired of the scale telling me if I am or am not making progress. The other day I stepped on and about flew off the handle that I was 333 when just a few days prior I was 326.5.... ummm not! My pants are fitting very loose in the legs and I'm starting to see changes in my arms.

I've been on this roller coaster for many years and I know that at first when you start a work out regimine and aren't on a 100% clean diet you tend to gain muscle and the scale doesn't drop or drop as fast.. My hubby reminded me that weighing every day only played into that emotional roller coaster and he's right. I should just focus on what I can control and only weigh my self once a month like I told myself I was going to do.

So after vacation I have the 5K for race for the cure. I plan to spend the time after vacation to refocus my meal plan. Focus on quick and easy things I can grab and go that stay inline with eating right (AND ENOUGH!). I think I have the work out part down and am going 3-4 days a week. I know the food part really is the hardest part. I am so proud of my Husband being down 10 lbs since Jan 1st. I'm down 6 which isn't too shabby... but I have a long way to go and damn it I want to fit into that cute wardrobe hanging in my closet waiting for me :(

I can do this!

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Addicted to Jazzercise

So the first week I went three nights in a row and slightly pulled my knee. Now I've found that if I put a day or two in between I can rock it. I still feel on the days that I'm not working out the urge to want to go. I'm calling this my new addiction! I feel great after working out. Now I need to get my mind into eating properly for the amount I'm exerting so the weight will fly off. I know how to do this as I've done it before with my friend who is a personal trainer. Just need to make my menu, stick to my list at the store and eat on time.

Right now though I'm focusing on getting my butt to class 3 days a week and eating better. After vacation at the end of this month I will then get on a meal plan 5-6 days out of the week... but right now I'm focusing on working out and my road to vacation!!! because rest is just as important.

I highly recommend the Jazzercise work out. There are all levels and it's very encouraging atmosphere. Love those ladies!!!
