Tonight we had Max Cardio and Cardio Abs. Max Cardio still isn't easy, but it's amazing how much better we both are at it! We haven't done Cardio Abs in 3 weeks (as laid out on the Insanity calendar), and it was AMAZING how much better we did with it! We both looked at each other at the end and said, "It's amazing what a difference three weeks can make," let alone compared to our first Ab night!
Weigh in is either tomorrow or Sunday (to be honest, I weigh both days and take the lowest number! LOL). Earlier in the week, I was certain that I would be happy with weigh-in, but today I wasn't sure. Now, I feel good about it! I'm intrigued to see what the numbers say tomorrow! I would be ECSTATIC if I got in the 150's this week (I was 162 Sunday...161 Monday), so we'll see!!
I must say, my guy knows exactly what to say to make me smile! We were talking about our weight loss goal, and I said how many pounds I had left to my goal (11 left), and he said, "you'll be skin and bones if you lose that much weight!" and he was dead serious! lol I just laughed at him! I reminded him that both of us set our goal to weigh the same as we did when we got married...and I'm 11 lbs away!!
To piggy-back on my last post... I got to thinking after I typed it up. I think this feels so surreal because I have never really lost weight in my life! I graduated from high school weighing 150 pounds. Through college, the lowest I ever got was 140 and was told I was too skinny by MANY (and I was), and graduated from college at 150. My body composition changed immensely through college, just my weight didn't. I was a gym rat and spent my free time in the gym, even outside of practice time. I didn't really pay too much attention to my weight; I was all about my body fat percentage. My lowest percentage was 9%...which is pretty freakin low! After I had Rylan, I joined WW and lost the 5 pounds that I still had on me from pregnancy (I think 165 was the lowest I got)...but, as I mentioned before, I couldn't fit in my clothes so I got frustrated and gave up. From that point on, my weight just continued to creep up and creep up. So the fact that I have lost 15 pounds is exciting to me! Ok...enough exciting "bragging."
Let me also say...I'm excited to see everyone else who is losing weight, too! Now I have a better understanding of what it takes to get it done and I am proud of EVERYONE who I have seen trying to better themselves!! Congrats and keep up the hard work! I love that we are all inspiring each other!
