Just back from the gym...all showered and refreshed...WHEW! What a workout. Day 8 and here's the recap:

It may not seem like much, but 1-2lbs per week is a healthy weight loss goal and I am very excited! I actually have lost more than that because I began Weight Watchers 2 weeks prior to blogging and started that at 209.0lbs so I've lost 5.4lbs in 3 weeks! :-)

So I've been catching up on Gossip Girl the past few days (I'm on Season 3 and I go in and out of watching it). The end of this season has gotten really intense and it's been hard to stop watching!!
Tonight at the gym, I had 30 minutes of interval cardio to do. I decided to change things up a bit and do the bike instead of the treadmill and spare my shins the pain. Well, I forgot that the tradeoff for that was killing my hamstrings and calves! UGH! 5 minutes in it was the last place I wanted to be. My gym music mix wasn't motivating me and I was on the verge of skipping cardio. Then I thought...since I'm sitting here, why don't I turn on Gossip Girl while I workout! (I used my Netflix app on my iPhone) GENIUS! It totally took my mind off how exhausting my cardio was and the time practically flew by!! I biked 10 miles in 35 minutes burning over 300 calories!! WOOT! In essence..Gossip Girl saved my workout!
I finished with more legs and back exercises, a play off of Week 1 Day 1, different # of reps and used different weights. The abs as usual were my least favorite with the return of Iron Cross and Bicycles. But as usual after it was all over I felt better and knew I had done the right thing by sticking with it to the end! Check out www.workoutbox.com if you are interested in what I'm doing for exercises. It really is a fantastic site and VERY inexpensive professional training!
I am exhausted, not so exhausted however that I can't go into the living room and try out my new Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii!! So super stoked.....might as well burn a few extra calories before bed, right! :-) What can I say, I'm a kid at heart and a little in the face too! :-) Is tomorrow day 9 already? Time flies when you're losing weight! Until then kids....
The one and only,
K
