Marvelous Monday

I started my morning off waking up to my alarm going off at 5:30am. I was so comfortable from my snugly bear snuggling me that I failed to get up. I reset my alarm for 7:00am and got up and did my Jillian Michael 30 day Shred DVD on Level 1. I swear it does not matter how long I have been doing this DVD it literally kills me and I sweat like crazy. I am going to try to progress to Level 2 shortly. I had my daily lunch time walk with Trish..thanks for the motivation!! Feels great when we are done. I came home had dinner and then did some Wii Fit workouts.

Today was my weight in and I was down again...I am officially at 220Lbs...YIPPIE... still have a ways to go but please keep in mind I was 234.2 or 4 when I first started this journey on February so I have come a long way. My next short term goal is to reach 210Lbs. My goal to is to be at 210 by time I go on my cruise which we leave for on May 23. I think it is a realistic and reachable goal if I go hard..and I intend to.

I have been mixing up my workout outs and trying to keep it fresh and exciting so I don't plateau. I have been lucky enough to pretty much have a loss each week except for 1 and that is when my focus dropped for a quick second. I am starting to understand the need for my body to have exercise. I find myself doing something if not anything at all. If I don't work out in the morning I feel like something is missing so I make sure that I get my morning workout in.

I found an article about FITNESS HOROSCOPES so of course I had to read and post mine here:

Aries: March 21 – April 20
As an Aries, you are as the one who gets things started. Want to take a kickboxing class but your gym doesn’t offer one? Take the initiative and talk to the owner of the club. Or better yet, get the training and become an instructor yourself. You love to get things moving, and there’s no better way of making sure you get what you want than by doing it yourself. As a fire sign, you want inspiring and imaginative ideas. You tend to get bored easily, so mix up your fitness routine every few weeks to keep it fresh. Trying new activities will keep you interested, so when Pilates gets tiresome, switch to one-on-one at the local basketball court or start swimming. You'll keep your muscles guessing and see serious results!

I like my horoscope. I am definitely someone who takes initiative and I feel that I am inspiring. I also get bored very easily so I have been making sure to make my workouts different. I don't just do it due to boredom but I am a firm believer in muscle confusion and trying not to plateau. Your body need not get comfortable with the same exercises so switching up from time to time is important.
