Midweek Motivation

This was me last night:

During the summer months, there are free fitness classes offered at the RiverStage put on by Anchors A-weigh.  I tried out the Zumba class last night with Natalie.  It was so HOT!  I really loved the class.  It was awesome to do a class with a different instructor and be able to keep up!  The two instructors there were awesome.  Yesterday was one of the best workout days I've had.  My mom and I met Travis and Jenny in the morning at the Big Four Bridge and walked where I burned 272 calories.  Zumba almost killed me where I burned 588 calories.  So my total was 860 calories burned for the day!  Woo hoo!  

I am definitely not feeling sorry this morning!

I weighed this morning and my "official" progress is 18.6 pounds!!  I'm so excited!!  That's like THREE AND A HALF bags of sugar.  Or SEVENTY FOUR sticks of butter.  That's crazy for me to think about! But, I love it.  :-)

There are days when I get so frustrated because I just want to be at my goal weight!  But, I am really starting to see lots of small changes.  Those little changes are making it easier to remember that I am making progress.  Progress is good.  

Okay, so I struggled with putting this picture on here.  I've mentioned before that I don't like the full length mirror stuff.  ;-)  HOWEVER, I was in my closet Saturday looking for something to wear to church on Sunday.  I found a dress that I forgot I had ordered last year.  When I got it, it was too small, so I just stuck it in the closet with one of those thoughts of "maybe I can wear it when I lose some weight".  Ha!  Well, just for kicks, I pulled it out and tried it on.  IT FIT.  So, I was able to wear a new dress to church on Sunday!    

There you go!  Some midweek motivation.  Maybe with my next post, I will be a little bit closer to my next goal - 25 pounds! :-)
