Friend: Did you shred?

Me: (way overexcited) YEP! And I did The FIRM. I’m crazy.

Friend: You need a new hobby.

So, yeah. I’m kind of crazy? The last two days I’ve been craving a simple, low impact aerobics workout. I dug out my worn VHS (yep, it’s so old it came out on VHS and never on DVD) of The Firm Basics: Fat Burning Workout:

The Firm Basics: Fat Burning Workout

It’s about 25 minutes… a nice warm up and then about 20 minutes of 4 limb movement, very simple moves, but effective in getting the heart rate up and the sweat pouring. And then I put in my Shred DVD and get in my zone. I’m at the point where I don’t even watch it, I just listen to the music and do the reps. If I listen to her talk, for some reason, it makes the segment seem longer.

I am still on Level 1. I was able to do a few jumping moves but not many. More than I could the first time. At day 10, I want to switch to Level 2, so I need to get to where Level 1 is not a huge challenge for me. I’m no longer sore and falling over after my work out. I hope this means that my muscles have stopped rebelling and have stopped retaining water, because ye godz!

I intended to blog last night but I passed clean OUT. And then today was actually a really busy day, despite the fact that no one was in the office and no thanks to Boss (who is on vaca) emailing twice a day to ask ‘what’s going on?’ Dude. Everything. Busy. Bye.

I’ve just had dinner, and I’m very proud that even though I said I didn’t want hushpuppies when I got my meal, they gave them to me anyway and I didn’t eat them. I’m not proud that I was full and I didn’t stop eating… but did you guys know that cabbage is delicious?

I’m almost sure that my Tuesday weigh in will either be no change or a few lbs up. I’m just preparing myself for that right now. I mean, I’ll take a huge loss, but I’m almost sure it’s not coming. And that’s… okay.

I also took some pics. I’ll post them when I take my end of the month pics for comparison. But uhm… ew.

I still didn’t measure. I suck. I’ll try to stop in and get a tape measure somewhere.
