Weigh In: Week Seven!

This week was fantastic, no complaints here. I have become quite addicted to the Spin & YogaFit classes that are offered at Gold's Gym. I found a new one last Wednesday morning, called "Spin & Pump", so I decided to try it. It is brutal, but it really makes you feel sore great when you're done. It is basically a combination of a Power Pump (strength training/resistance) class and a Spin Class. You will be doing a few minutes of cycling for cardio, then you will stop and break out the resistance bands they provide, lace them under the handlebars, and work your back/chest/biceps/triceps etc. Then, you do ab crunches. On. The. Bike. Then, several more minutes of cardio, and then you do push-ups on your handlebars (yes, you stop pedaling). It's insane, but sickly oddly amazingly enough - I love it! Plus - all this is paying off, big time. My pants need belts now. My old shirts look really baggy on me. For my birthday in two weeks - I am going to be getting new clothes!

Hans has also been doing great! He loves to run like I do, so he will go to the gym and run a couple miles, then go into a spin class. Or YogaFit - don't let him fool you! He has done this a couple times...! He is also on his last notch on his belt - so he has definitely toned up! *whistles*

Eating healthy has gotten 100x easier. I subconsciously check labels at the store now, so I know what I am getting ahead of time. Then, I also allow myself to "cheat" every now and again, because I know that I will be working it off later that day. Tuesday mornings at my MOPS meetings is definitely a "cheat" day. I cannot pass up all those yummy casseroles! Hans is also doing phenomenal in this area. He has dubbed Monday night as "Chicken Caesar Salad" night. Bradley even likes it!

Anyway - on to the RESULTS!

Hans did not lose this week, but he did not gain either, so he is even to last week. 

I lost 1.4 more pounds, putting me at losing approximately 1.005% of my weight, and am now up to losing 12.2 pounds TOTAL!

You know what - I am tired of counting who "wins" or "loses". We are BOTH winning here because we are both getting healthier and losing the excess weight we have gained over the years! From here on out, I will not be counting winner vs loser. I will just post our results for all to see!

How much weight will we lose next week? Will Spin and those crazy Yoga poses turn me into a pretzel? Stay tuned!
