Ouch to Transformation!

After revamping I am in so much pain! My muscles are throbbing. It started Thursday when I actually went through with Nike and Turbokick back to back. What was I thinking? Ugh! I watch other people and I see how easy it is for them. At least they make it look easy. All of these rock hard bodies prepared for any and everything this man gives them. The only thing that is second nature to me is dancing to a beat. I don't think I can get used to this.

This week I completed Sunday (swimming), Tuesday (Zumba), Thursday (Nike/Turbo), and Saturday (Turbo/Zumba/Nike)...in addition to two workouts at my job. I know I have lost it right? Or maybe I am just now taking my workout to the next level. What do you think? If the way that I feel now is an indication I would say that I have lost all of my marbles.

But I can say, "I wasn't last...(jumping ecstatically)...in Nike I wasn't last!!!" Will I make it next week? It is possible. Definitely going to try to make it to swimming, it relaxes my muscles. A remedy that is definitely a necessity after my Epsom salt baths and sleep.

Tomorrow is weight day...ugh! My goal was 3 pounds, but I do not know if I am going to make it. I think I gave away my mom's homemade banana pudding too late. I ate it sporadically, but still...I guess I won't know until tomorrow when I go back to the gym. Either way I have to share this information with my dad. Overall, I feel like I am my biggest critic. Gaining one pound last week hurt me especially when I was really trying counting calories and exercising... :-(

Revamp: Day 1

I finished strong today. 984 Calorie Intake. Last Shakedown of Hip Hop for exercise. The best part is although I had my spurts of hunger it was easily managed with a small snack like animal crackers or peaches.

But can I ask a question: Why is it that when you make a commitment to yourself not to do something...it is like boom right in your face? Today as I ate my baked chicken breast my coworker came in with Lil' Caesars' Pizza. This is one of my favorite food!!! :-( I turned her down. Sigh it was hard, but I did get to chat with an older lady at my job. She has lost a lot of major weight and I just told her what I was doing and why. She gave me her rule of thumb, "You can still eat, but it must fit into a saucer and you cannot go back for seconds." I like it!  We will see I am still in the beginning fazes here.

On another note, my Hip Hop Instructor, Taylor Gee, leaves tomorrow :-( It is official! I miss him already. Look him up on YuTube he's awesome!!!!!

Rude Awakening

After all of my workouts, I have had a rude awakening. I met with my father today. He has lost over 70 pounds by counting calories. He looks like a different man!! I know that I have talked about him before, but this was different. Diabetes (The Sugar), High-blood Pressure, and Obesity runs in my family. I know this, but I love food. What am I to do? I weighed myself...ugh yet again...I am at 186 pounds. I have been in this range for a long time. I workout and dance like crazy. I am losing inches. I know this because it shows...and people have noticed...but what am I doing wrong? Both of my siblings weigh less than I do, too. This is wonderful for them, but what am I doing wrong? I did the math I am 51 pounds overweight!!!! This is how much my son weigh!!!! Should I be worried? I believe so. So much so, I think that I am going to have to do something dramatic. I'm back to counting calories (grudgingly of course). I'm also increasing my output while decreasing my input. 

Goal(s): 
No fast food this week.
Breakfast everyday...even if it's a smoothie.
24 Hr. Workout schedule: Mon. & Tues. (Hip Hop), Thurs. (NIKE & Turbo), Sat. (Turbo & Zumba)
School Gym (MAC): 3 days (Mon./Wed./Fri.)

I know that this appears extreme, but I need to shock my body! Wish me luck! Or give me advice =-)
