I am feeling *far* better this week than last. All of my “extra” weight went away, and I finally saw the downward trend I have come to know and love. I do still believe that I need a new scale (or new batteries) because I am still running into some inconsistency issues…which are frustrating!
I began my new routine (designed by Denise and Dorsey) this week. It is more regimented than I am used to, but change is good, right? This is what my week looked like:
Monday – Back & Biceps (weight lifting)
Tuesday – Spin (cardio)
Wednesday – Legs (weight lifting)
Thursday – Zumba (cardio)
Friday – Chest & Triceps (weight lifting)
Thankfully, the issue with my left foot seems to be improving quickly. I was still able to do spin on Tuesday (without standing on the bike, though), and leg day was no problem. Even Zumba went off without a hitch (although about 3/4 through it I cut back on the amount I was jumping). I have been consistently icing it and keeping it elevated when I sit down.
So, my weigh in for the week:
197.2
Not too shabby, huh? That is a full four pounds down from last week, and two pounds down from my previous lowest weight. This makes me happy. Especially since I am in Grumpy’s Coffee Mug Challenge. I need to kick some butt, folks. The challenge runs until October, so I have some time to really ramp it up…which I will be doing.
