Kickin’ It Up A Notch

10 12 2009

Last week we had our third weigh in.  The good news:  I lost the 4 pounds I had gained.  The bad news:  that gives me a total weight loss of ZERO!  However, I am still down in inches, which is great!  But, last week also served as a reminder that there are only 5 weeks of GFC left for us.  (They promote this as a six-month program.  In reality, however, it’s only just over 4 months.)  Because time flies, and I’m no longer flying anywhere, I have decided to hit the gym at least 6 times per week.  I realize I should have been doing this all along.  But, I work a full time job and have two kids at home (along with an hour commute each way).  So, time hasn’t exactly been on my side.

I was a tad bit broke over the past couple of weeks.  (A money tree or large cash gift would be great right about now!)  Additionally, our team workout schedule has been a little screwed up.  So, I’ve been working out closer to home, at the Roper YMCA.  The trainers there have been keeping an eye on me, and correcting my stance every once in a while.  (I think they’re hoping to get one of the TV teams next season!)

I’ve also started taking a B-12 supplement in hopes that I would have a little bit more energy.  It seems to be working.

Being broke has also helped with the diet.  There has been not a single chance to cheat!  Though I must admit, I have really wanted to.  A nice plate piled high with nachos or buffalo wings, or nachos AND buffalo wings would really hit the spot!  But, I would hate myself after.  My stomach would probably hate me too.  Coach Kelly would punish me.  Todd Romero would publicly humiliate me.  The list goes on…

I’m looking forward to the next few weeks.  I have one more week of work and then I’m off until January 6th!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I will be hitting the gym a lot during those weeks.  The best part is that I’ll be able to go earlier in the day.  And, the kids will get to participate in the Kids Fitness classes.  They really like those.

I must admit.  I will not make it to the gym today.  The weather sucks and I’m not comfortable driving in it.  But, I’ll be back tomorrow for another full workout.
