Weigh In Monday

Well, kids, it's official. I rock at losing weight. Well, last week anyway!

Amid a brownie, awesome Mexican, a few drinks, & mama's cooking, I managed to lose....

2 pounds! Zing! I'll take it, tyvm.

Tonight is my third PT session with Hot Trainer. It's only been a week on the fully-committed, 100% hardcore bandwagon, but I already feel healthier, happier, more energized and fit. It's good to be on the bright side.

This weekend I hauled it to the gym for a little cardio on the ol' elliptical machine. I really didn't want to workout, but I pushed myself with my new mantra: The only easy day was yesterday! I lugged it onto the machine, turned up my music, and chugged along. I was really getting into, mostly because I promised myself I only had to do 30 minutes.

Well, the motivation started flowing & I got creative. Thirty minutes was coming fast, but I knew I could keep going. So I started a little challenge. It went a little something like this:

1. Once you hit 30 minutes, keep going until you hit 300 calories burned

2. Once you hit 300 calories, keep going until you hit 3.1 miles

3. Once you hit 3.1 miles, keep going until you hit 350 calories

And then you can STOP. By the time I played this little game, I had stayed on for another 15 minutes. I love being a nut sometimes!

Have a great Monday! See you on the other side of PT!

Oh, one more thing: Huge shout out to two of my fave blogging buddies: POM & Gazelle ran a marathon this past weekend! Congrats, ladies!
