So today is Monday.... and we all know what that means-weigh in day. Yikes. I walked into the weigh in wondering if there was anything else I could possibly do to trim down any further before stepping on the scale. Quick haircut perhaps? Spontaneous double masectomy? That would have to be worth about 15lbs alone! No? Ok fine.... Off came the keys, shoes, sweater, and even hair rubber band (I wasn't going to take any chances!) I knew that I had a HORRIBLE week food and exercise wise so I was anticipating a huge weight gain. Thankfully I was wrong! I actually lost weight this week! Nothing stellar, only 0.6lbs (0.8 if you count my 2nd weigh in a few hours later after losing a little more "water weight") but at least the numbers went down! I mean, it was no 9 something POUNDS like SOME people I know.... yeah, I'm talking to YOU lady....... but at least I didn't go up. Of course I'm not happy about it, and I see the chance of winning biggest loser slipping further and further away by the minute, but I have to celebrate the fact that I'm down 13lbs, and I still have a chance of being down 20lbs by spring break. Only time will tell....
In other news, I found a secondary trainer today. The good news? I live with him. The bad news? I live with him. Apparently, his high school sports training days have suddenly all come flooding back, and since he can only do some light cardio thanks to a back injury, he is using me for his dirty work instead. Today we (and by WE of course I mean I) did crunches while sitting on the yoga ball and catching and throwing a weighted ball. Think it sounds easy? Go ahead and try it.... I'll wait...... Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah. Let's just say that the first time we did this "game" was on Friday and today my abs were STILL sore. Of course that was no excuse not to do it again apparently..... my actual trainer saw this interaction and encouraged it. Great. Just what I need. A peanut gallery. Now I have 2 trainers and I will never be able to have a slow day at the gym again as long as one of them is there... I haven't decided how I feel about that......
50 days down...130 to go!
