Kickin' butt & takin' names! LOL!

Wow! I worked out hard in the gym yesterday and today. I guess you could say that I'm kickin' butt and takin' names! LOL! I burned 665 calories yesterday and 671 today on the Cybex. WHEW! It was a workout and I really pushed myself. My heart rate stayed where it was supposed to and I was sweatin' like a pig. LOL! After the cardio tonight, me and my youngest DD did some extra leg, glut, ab and arm work. Actually, she didn't want to do the arm stuff so I did that part myself. It felt good. I haven't done strength training in a while. I wonder if I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I already feel my gluts barkin' so I know for sure that they'll be sore.

I also spent 2 hours weeding the front yard today. It really needed to be done. I did it myself and used the time to think and relax. It was really nice not to listen to the kids and my DH complain about weeding the entire time too! LOL! It really is a huge yard though, it takes forever if you do it alone. Next I have to tackle the back yard BUT we'll see what the gluts say tomorrow. Perhaps the kids and my DH will have to do that without me.

I'm kind of looking forward to seeing the scale & measurements on Monday. I'm not sure if they'll move yet, because I had a rocky beginning of the week, thanks to evening munching. UGH! If I could conquer that post dinner eating, I'd have this dang weight think licked. Boredom eating has all of the sudden become a big challenge for me. I've really worked on it the past couple days though. I'll just keep moving forward and try my best. The scale will soon follow as long as I keep the eating under control OR compensate with killer workouts. (I vote for the prior, although the occasional "killer workout" rocks!)

I'm really glad that I feel so motivated again. I was getting a little discouraged with all the stagnation that I was having. The entire month of March was a dud. There were so many sad things happening and so many obstacles trying to bring me down. Fortunately I didn't let any of them win and I'm on track and moving down. YIPEE!!

I've also been thinking a lot about my weight loss progress and where I am now. I've only lost 10 pounds in the last 4 months. It's time to fix that. It's time to push myself more. It's time to challenge myself again. I've been far too complacent. I'm ready to take it to the next level. I feel great. I feel happy! I feel motivated to move that scale number downwards! YEE HAW!

On that wonderful note, I think I'll end my post. I'm wiped out and I think I'll actually try to go to bed.
Have a super day/week! Make good choices, be proud of who you are and give it your all! I know that I will too.
Hugs from AZ,
