Manic Monday: Day 35 + 10 Pounds Lost

Hey NeverEver's!

How was your Monday? Mine was a little 'Manic' but I have to say I do like it when its a little busy.

So I had a photo shoot today. Which I couldn't stop laughing while doing. I have an awesome friend that is making an awesome career as a photographer (did I use awesome too much?). He is doing my 'Before' and 'After' pictures which is going to look awesome! I can't wait to show you guys them once they are done!

I like the example below ^_^.

Person Pictured Is Not Me! 

Okay so after the photo shoot it was time to hit Target, who doesn't love the new Target now, for some basics plus I do like their grocery area. I just got the little things that I needed that have don't have to do with food.
When I came home I decided that I needed to clean the house...and I put it on the to-do list for tomorrow. Which is also joined by making sure that I am going through the closet and getting it 'fall-ized', which means that I am getting ready to donate some of the spring / summer clothes to goodwill. Lots of things to be done!

Spin, Spin, Spin

 Have to say my 2nd time hitting the bike was a little bit easier. I am actually really proud of myself because the instructor didn't come in until about 20 minutes into the class. So some of the regulars put in a CD (not sure why he was carrying a CD but I wasn't complaining) and we jammed, well cycled, until the instructor came in.
After she came in...well lets say she made up for lost time. I only had (1) water break and kept cycling even if I had to do it in the saddle.

So I have a BIG announcement!

I am at the 2nd LEVEL!

 I have lost a total of 10 pounds in 35 days! I am totally doing a Happy Dance this whole week + my workouts!
Side note I like this picture and how it shows examples of how much fat looks like once it is gone! I cannot wait to get down to that 20!

Okay so I didn't realize that I forgot to do my Daily Stats for Sunday...sssooo here it is!

Sunday Fun Day!

And here is Monday:

Look at that number of lost! Its in Double Digits!

Yay Double Digits! I can't say how happy I am to see that number!

Okay NeverEver's, how was your Monday? What did you do for a workout? Have you done spin before? If you have how do handle being in the 'saddle'? It hurts!!!

Manic Weigh In Monday: Day 28 + Spinning

Hey NeverEver's!

I have to say...there is a reason why I avoided spin. I watched them all spinning on the bikes that go no where. Listened to the instructor say 'Turn the knob a turn and half, We will be feeling it this song' and watched while the people come out drenched but still smiling!

While watching I always said 'That is to hard' or 'You aren't at that level yet, workout some more and then you can go to that class'. Well today I decided I was tired of listening to that inner voice telling me I couldn't do it yet.

So before I was able to talk myself out of it, and I am a good talker outer, I signed myself up for Spin at 24 Hour Fitness. And to MAKE sure I went I made sure everyone who follows me on twitter knew I was going...I wasn't going to back out now that there was 'internet pressure' on me!

Well the results were in someways exactly what I thought it would be...VERY FREAKING HARD!! But I made it through. Only stopping 2x, and that was to get more water and I only went during a 'Water Break'. That is where you sit in the 'saddle' and drink water while still spinning. I wasn't always able to stay out of the 'saddle' but I made sure if I sat my rump down I still moved my legs!

I am proud to say that when I walked out of the class I was one of those 'drenched but still smiling' people!

Anyways back to my Weigh In Day!

Have to say...I didn't lose a pound last week. Although I really am not surprised as I was dealing with some lawyer issues and was traveling all over So. Cal. i have to say that I am more proud of the fact that I didn't GAIN any weight! Now that is something to celebrate!!

Here is my stats for Monday;

Not a bad day

I will say I am disappointed that I didn't hit my Calories Burned Target. But there is always tomorrow, and tomorrow is Les Mils Body Pump!

So I wanted to add a new thing here for Manic Weigh In Monday's...that is my weekly schedule, or what I am planning on doing! Here it is

• Tuesday: Les Mils Body Pump, followed by 45 minutes on a cardio machine, not sure which one though
• Wednesday: There is a new class called H.I.I.T or (High Intensity Interval Training) which I want to try. If there is no post on Wednesday night it means I didn't survive the class ^_^. Also looking for a new job, yay fun!
• Thursday: I really want to do a Zumba day for Thursday, but it depends on the H.I.I.T class. I might make this day a walk in the park day!
• Friday: My Wonderful Day of Rest!
• Saturday: Also a sorta day of rest as the Hubby and I use this as our day together
• Sunday: Gym workout with a buddy, never know what I will be doing ^_~

Okay NeverEver's, so what do you think about the 'Weekly Schedule'? What are your plans for this weeks work out? 

Have a good night NeverEver's!
