Working out this week was totally different. Which is what I needed! As much as I detest workout dvd’s, I think my body needed a change. I still used my elliptical, just not as much.
Thursday – Turbo Sculpt 40 minutes of strength training
Friday – Didn’t work out
Saturday – Turbo Jam 20 Minutes
Sunday – Elliptical 550 calories
Monday – didn’t work out
Tuesday – Turbo Jam Booty Sculpt Plus Abs {30 minutes} and I did 15 minutes on the elliptical and burned 210 calories
Wednesday – Turbo Jam 20 minutes and 30 minutes on the elliptical and burned 550 calories
I am continuing to drink plenty of water. Although I will admit I have had a couple of glasses of sweet tea. This is only because I felt like I was just craving it. I have had quiet a few other cravings as well. From coconut, which I hate! But I satisfied that with Almond Joy creamer in my coffee {Heavenly!!}. I also had a craving, strongly for supreme pizza, which we never ever get because I only eat pepperoni's on my pizza. But we went to Pizza Hut Saturday night and got supreme and it was fantastic!! The onions and bell peppers on it…yum! I did discover that I do no like mushrooms at all. Yuck!! I have tried them before. Zack sautéed some once and I tasted them and didn’t like them. However he said on the pizza I wouldn’t be able to taste them. he.was.wrong. There was one on my slice that happened to be near the crust. I ate my whole slice up until that point and when I tasted that, I couldn’t swallow it. I had to spit it out in my napkin. I really hope nobody saw me! Oh and my last final craving has been chocolate. Oh, it’s been a bad craving. One of which I satisfy every single day with Crème De Menthe Hershey Kisses. I eat 2 of them every day. They are 22 calories a piece and I let them melt slowly in my mouth. It’s perfect. The craving goes away after that. Perfect.
My jeans continue to fall off. I am to the point where I have to wear a belt all the time with my Levi’s which have always fit tighter, even from the first time I bought them 7 years ago! I wish now that I would have had Zack measure me to see how many inches I am losing along with the weight. Oh well it’s no big deal. There are a few shirts in my closet that aren’t fitting right anymore so I’m slowly making a pile of clothes that I will donate later. I wore a size 10 jeans on Saturday night!! WOOT!! Although they were a little snug they weren’t uncomfortable and it was nice not to have to keep pulling my pants up. I can’t wait to fit them perfectly. :-)
My weight loss this week is 1.4 lbs which makes my total 10.1 lbs for 9 weeks. This means that I’ve reached my first goal of 10 lbs! This makes me happy! It has been 9 long weeks. I am so used to seeing weight come off quicker than this. After all, last time I went for losing weight I lost 23 lbs in 8 weeks time. Of course I gained it all back because I lost it so quickly. So my motto is slow and steady keeps it off! Now I have another 10 lb goal. Not sure how long it’s going to take but I’m for the challenge. I still have a total of 20 to 25 more lbs to lose but going with one more 10 lb goal and than a 15 lb goal is the way I’m doing it!
Here’s to the next 10 lbs!

Fabulous job! I have to be honest I love the DVD workouts. I guess it it the support system isn't that crazy! I think it is great you are switching up the workout. One of the workouts I do says that our bodies are really smart, so we need to change things up so we keep burning a lot of calories.
Keep up the good work!
Look at your girlfriend! I haven't had a Coke in days because I've been sick and I wonder if I can keep it up. I love, love mushrooms so if we share a pizza I'll eat yours. Pizza sounds good right now. Keep up the awesome work. I need to get cracking so I can be cute standing next to you next month :)
