Size the Day!

I purposely typed Size not, Seize because that is what I did today. Today was my weigh-in day! I was so excited to see movement on the scale this week after last weeks weigh-in fiasco. I am over-joyed to report I had a 4.5 pound weight loss! EEEEKKK! Love to see the effects of my hard work pay off. I have pushed myself this morning I did 25 crunches, 20 push-ups, and 20 squats and lunges. I quickly jumped into the shower because I was profusely sweating. (Ewww) Well I am glad to know that at least I have weight coming off of me and it's at a normal pace.

I have changed my eating habits by taking away Soda, simple sugars, and backing off of SOME breads. I am also drinking lots more water, which is up to a half gallon a day. I am now at 12.3 since Friday June 1st, 2012. So I am averaging over a 2 pound weight loss a week.!! Good Job Joy! (pats self on back) I am hoping for 5 pounds off by the first Friday in August, which is when I return to work. I have 1 more week from this Monday to measure myself. I am hoping to see some inches melt off too. Some of you have asked what other exercise am I doing.
 Here is my work out schedule:


Monday- Brisk Walk - 45 min. which equals 3 miles
Tuesday - Jillian Michael's 20 minute shred level 1
Wednesday -  No exercise
Thursday - Zumba
Friday- No Exercise
Saturday - Zumba
Sunday- No Exercise

My exercise routines are anywhere from 30 minutes to 55 minutes 4 days out of the week. 

I work out a total of 165 minutes a week. I am going to step it up next week beginning Saturday (tomorrow) July 14th and incorporate 35 more minutes of exercise for a total of 200 minutes for next week. Let's see how this goes. I may stick to this routine for 2 weeks and up the minutes some more. I will post again next Friday for weight loss, and Monday July 23rd for measurements. Pray for me because I am going on vacation and may need some extra motivation! lol

See you on the flip side! :)
