I Lost 9lbs in 2 days...Want The Secret?

Eat bad Chicken!

I totally do not recommend. It was no fun at all!

Besides feeling awful, it ruined all my plans for the weekend :(
It ruined my 8 straight wks of meeting my Go Girl Goal. Double :(
I had planned on participating in the Race for Grace Saturday morning with Mama Chick and Hot Stuff. Instead I called them at 6:30am to say, "I'm totally sick." There was no chance of me squeezing in my 5th and final workout this past weekend. I was, and still am disappointed. Once the momentum stops it is hard for me to get started. I'm sure some of you feel the same way. Trying to look past it. After all, I successfully completed 7wks.

So today I went to the Y and climbed back on that treadmill. I was a saaaaad sight walking at 1.7mph (while Hot Stuff is walking her usual 3.7), but when I was done I felt better than I had in over 2 days. Sometimes you just gotta move, even if it is slow.

BTW I randomly decided to go check my weight on Friday after I did the pilates class. I thought after 8wks of exercise I would check in. I think I lost 1lb. That's right ONE stinking little pound. It wasn't exciting or rewarding. And reinforced why I don't weigh in. I felt more accomplished before I saw the weight. Ahh... Head games. (of course muscle weighs more than fat... blah, blah, blah. I still secretly wanted to see some tangible results)

So Sunday night I was telling all this to Hot Honey. That's when he said we should bust out the Wii and see how much weight I lost being sick. I knew I must of lost something, but I wasn't expecting 9lbs! Crazy! Of course it was dehydration, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm hoping to only gain back 7 of those 9lbs this week. Since I lost 1lb in 8wks, this is like an additional 16wks of exercise, Right!? I love free stuff! It is almost like couponing (which I've been doing a lot of these days)

Hopefully, you all know I'm somewhat kidding. It's late. I'm Goofy. Lack of sleep and proper nutrition.

If you thought we were done because it is the end of March or because I hadn't blogged, we aren't. Keep exercising. 5 Days a week Girls for at least 30min. each day.

I think I'm throwing in one more goal for me for the month of April. I'm nervous to say it out loud because then I have to do it. Stay tuned....

  1. I walked one of the dogs yesterday and this morning I did weights early at the gym. I'm trying to make up for all of the eating out we did in F-burg! I might double up today and go walk another furry treadmill after work.

  2. Monday I went to Lifetime, did my weight machines and the treadmill, it was a good workout. Tues. I walked Cosmo and came home and did some pilates, didn't really like the show I had recorded from FitTv.

    I'm getting ready to take Cosmo for his walk.

    Hope everyone is having a good week.

  3. Well, 6 visits to the Chiropractor and I am walking, sitting and standing without wencing in pain! I am SOOO happy about that. This week has been a week off for me. I'm hoping that I can slowly get back on the excercise wagon next week.
