Day 18

T. G. I .F! This has been a long week --at home for 4 straight days--with the kids (no gym classes). I'm glad the weekend is on the horizon! Today was Legs & Back. It was tougher than I remembered (I had forgotten about all the pull-ups!) and by the time we got to the chair saluations, sweat was dripping like a leaky faucet off the tip of my nose. According to my HRM I burned 280 calories which is pretty high considering this is not a cardio work out. Anyhow, I ate light all day and I feel really good about that. So good, in fact, that I decided to jump on the scale. Dang the scale. It said 134. Not that 134 is anything to be sad about...I remember this time last year thinking "If I can just get down to 135, I'll be happy". BUT...that goal has changed and now I'm repeating the mantra "If I can just get down to 125, I'll be happy". I was really hoping I'd be at 132 or below by now. Oh well...I know the number on the scale isn't the real "judge" anyway. I can definitely tell by my body that I am shaping up. My stomach is flatter and getting more definition all the time. My clothes are fitting better and I am just feeling "thinner". Eventually, the scale will have to reflect these changes. It just has to. :O)

Oh and by the way, Demi--the movie Fireproof was great! Totally worth renting! A little over-the-top dramatic we thought...but still....an excellent movie nonetheless!
