Wk 5 ~ Weigh In

This week I just never got up and moved. I was afraid I might have already begun a backslide but was able to keep up my motivation with the purchases I made on Sunday and will try one of my new DVDs in a little bit.

I haven't yet decided if I think the stepper was worth the investment. It did make my calves feel as if they were on fire with just 5min of use however, after a brief rest I did another 4min...bring back the burn..and the next day I was only a little sore climbing the stairs at work. The next day (today) nothing. I dont know if it was because I didnt do enough time or if it truly doesn't give a good workout. Either way its a little clunky but I will give it another try before I turn it in for a good old fashion step. I always loved step classes and have incorporated some of the movements from those classes into my free step time on the Wii board.

Oh, and, I absolutely don't know how with only good and healthy food choices I was able to lose 3lbs this week but I did and that means that I've lost a total of 15lbs in 5 wks. Pretty incredible and yet right on with where I want to be in order to make the goal I have set for myself for May 31st.

Lastly, I booked a vacation today that will take place the end of February next year so despite the fact that I have set a 10lb every 4 wk short term goal for myself I now also have a good target for my long term goal. I think I'll have to add tickers to my side bar for a countdown to the vacation and perhaps a show of how far I have come and have yet to go if I'm gonna make my mark for May.
