FINALLY!!! I'm back at it! The g-y-m.
At least 3 days a week now and hoping for more. Mondays is step aerobics with some jump rope, ball, and other stuff thrown in between (kicks butt!) Wednesdays is pilates fusion which is where I discovered some muscles right behind my knees! It's been a long time since I've gone to that one and my muscles are really letting me know about that. Then Fridays is Zumba! Soooo fun and super intense. But, I picked up on the moves, now we'll see about fine-tuning those moves and actually look like I know what I'm doing. I know, I know, it takes a few weeks to catch on. Now that I have a friend to go with, it sure makes a difference so we can laugh at each other or with each other and push each other. Hopefully Saturdays will be raquetball and weights with the hubby. He got me a raquet and a cute pink/white glove for Christmas and I'm dying to use it!
The only thing I'm not good at and don't want to do is weights. I HATE weights! I took a power pump class a while back and I was good and actually went quite regularly, but thoroughly didn't enjoy it. Not sure who really does. Then my back had some issues and I had to stop going. It's taken me a while to get my back sorted out so in the meantime, got out of shape and added some more unwanted pounds to the tummy. But, with Richards help, I'm going to try out the weights and see if I can build up the muscles so that the aerobics will have more of an effect on me. Good luck to me!
So here's to the new year and a resolution to lose 20 pounds and feel good! My friend even started up a weight loss group so we can support and be held accountable to each other. We range in weight from 148-214. We have a group weight goal as well as individual goals. I'm also working on 1 treat a day if that, limiting my portion sizes (no seconds), NO sodas or sugary drinks, tons of water, and more protein and veggies.
What I'd like to know is what works for you to lose weight? Any tips that work? Please share! Good luck to all of you who are working on the same resolution!
