Compliments!

While at work today my fellow co-worker said to me" You look so skinny today!" How awesome are those words to hear????? Although I am no where near being skinny, it's nice to hear that someone can see a positive difference in your appearance.

Now I haven't been going hard core on the whole weight loss thing, but I have been doing the Wii Just Dace 2 like Ive said before!  And I guess the combo between that and my medication, results are being seen!!!

I haven't weighed myself or measured in a few weeks, but right now I don't want to focus on numbers. I get to focused on numbers that I drives me CRAZY! So I am going by how I feel, what I see in the mirror, and how my clothes are fitting.

I will however be posting another sports bra and shorts pic tomorrow night!

Just Dance with me :0)

Wii Just Dance 2 was my work out for the night! Talk about a FUN way to get the heart pumping and the sweat pouring! I had a blast! Once again if only this room of mine had a camera I'd be a YouTube hit! haha I look like a total nerd doing this kind of stuff but I don't care, I have a ball!

I went with the Middle level on the Just Sweat option. So I have to do 3 songs a night ( which I did four tonight because I just wasn't done sweating yet, and I still want to do MORE). I reached my daily goal of 1,000 ( what ever that means) and I exceeded it by 515 more! Im going to take that as a YAY moment!

It's amazing the different options you have to help you get in shape rather than being stuck to the gym! Like I have mentioned before I absolutely dread going to the gym, which in end will result into me not going for long periods of time and never reaching my goal. With things like Just Dance, I CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT! I'm having fun, I'm laughing, I'M BURNING CALORIES!

Working out doesn't have to suck! Thank you technology!

Flirty Girl Fitness.. Not white girl friendly!

I have no rhythm that's for sure! I tried Flirty Girl Fitness tonight via YouTube. I have never felt so uncoordinated, except the time I was kidnapped by my dear friends and taken to a Zumba class! Which I have to say, despite my like of moves and coordination, I had a blast and loved it! Talk about a intense hour! I didn't know it was possible to do moves like that for that long of a time!

Back to tonight's experience. I only did like 15 min of the video tonight. Thought I'd just see what it was all about. Definitely going to do the full thing tomorrow. I've got to learn to loosen up and get in touch with my inner sexy gal. You can really see my lack of self ]confidence when doing this work out. It's awkward to me to do some of these moves because I don't see my self as sexy nor flirty at all. But I think if I keep this up I can find that inner "sex kitten" some where hahaha

Things like Flirty Girl Fitness and Zumba are fun ways to shed the pounds! I don't feel like I am working out. I'm laughing and having a great time, all while getting in shape!! Thank God for work out programs like this or I don't think I would ever get to my goal weight. I can't stand the gym. It's so, what's the word I'm looking for?? BORING!

It's like getting a tattoo... Hurts a lot worse taking it off than it did putting it on!

Those are wise words from Pappy! He is my brothers' friend, and has cerebral palsy. He also is kicking my ass in the gym! That's right, I have been going to the gym regularly ( starting this week) and my "personal trainer" is in a wheel chair. Talk about MOTIVATION! I can't whine, or complain, when he is telling me what to do, I mean he is in a wheel chair and can kick some booty in the gym. So I can only imagine what he would say if I come off with my knee hurts, I'm tired, or whatever else I want to complain about at the moment. The boy can't walk, has muscle spasms that are so painful and can last for hours, and I never once have heard him complain about anything. He doesn't let is disability get in the way of every day life. He makes the most of the situation and has such a great spirit about him! Truly one amazing and inspirational guy!

I didn't plan on Pappy helping me out at the gym. We just kind of happened to run into each other  at the gym yesterday and he offered to help me out. I kind of brushed it off the first time he asked, thinking I knew what I was doing. But oh boy was I wrong! I was doing it all wrong!!! I am now lifting more weight than I ever thought I was capable of! Running longer distances and times that I thought possible! I have sweat WAY more in the past two days than I think I have my entire time of going to the gym. I have muscles that ache and hurt that I never even knew I had!  AND I FEEL AWESOME! Granted my whole body is  sore! I feel like a mac truck has run over me! However it makes me feel powerful because I know my time in the gym wasn't a waste and that I am actually doing what you are supposed to be doing at a gym, not just showing up and expecting to loose weight!

God has sent this opportunity to me and I am going to take advantage of it! I would never be able to afford an actual personal trainer. They are just way too expensive, and I am ballin' on a budget. A very tiny budget at that!! So to have Pappy offer to help me and spend his time, free of charge, to help me achieve my goals is just amazing! And while I was on the elliptical, I hear Pappy say to my boyfriend ( they both think my struggle and random hand gestures of offing my self are hilarious) Loosing weight is like getting a tattoo, it hurts a lot worse taking it off than it did putting it on .....

Ain't that the truth! But it will all be worth it!


Here's a good laugh for every one.... This is me yesterday... I'm not a happy camper....
