This weigh-in I did not lose any more weight. Boot camp had been cancelled on Monday causing a huge lack in muscle building exercise , but even still I used the elliptical twice (better than usual and for longer) and did crazy cardio dancing on Friday night with my cousin playing Just Dance 2.
If you want a crazy fun cardio workout, I highly recommend Just Dance 2. I don’t know if I would use it alone, maybe if no one in was home because unless they are playing with you its goofy looking. But, if you can get passed feeling like a spaz and like you are making a fool of yourself it is crazy. Many good songs are available to dance to from Hey Ya by Outcast (Cardio-tastic) to Ra Ra Rasputin (very challenging) to the Monster Mash (super cute). You can even buy more songs then included through the store and using Wii points. It is not the most complex game, and I am sure that crazy gimmick-savvy gamers prefer the version for X-Box Kinect but to me, the holding of the controller is no big deal. I will link it here so you can take a look. I play it at my cousin’s house with them. My Wii is not working but as previously mentioned it is much more fun to play with others, especially when they try just as hard as you do to do all the moves, not just wave around the one hand with the remote. So after completing a pretty intense 40 minute dance party and another 40 minutes of stretching, followed by a weekend of elliptical craziness I was hoping to have lost at least 1 pound. Nope. Nothing. Technically I gained back .5 of a pound but I don’t really feel like it’s necessary to record that ... unless it’s in my favour. But I will because I am trying to be honest with myself.
I blame my weekend of food choices. I had been craving pizza all week and finally caved and my boyfriend brought home a lovely STUFFED CRUST cheese pizza. Bastard. How can you only have one slice of that? So two slices and still wanting more I managed to stop it for the day but then the next night I seemed to have a late lunch only to eat an early dinner. Another slice of pizza on top of the frozen mini pizzas I had just eaten for ‘lunch’ (it was already 3:00 by the time I had lunch). That is WAY too much for one evening.
My fault, It could have been a week with great progress. I was so proud that I was able to elliptical through an entire How I Met Your Mother episode that I somehow just kept eating? I don’t know why I did it, maybe I thought I worked really hard so I can eat more, but I did not burn enough calories to eat that much pizza. Or maybe I just didn’t think and let my cravings get the best of me. So now I haven’t moved forward in the least.
It was supposed to be a great week but now I feel like I disappointed myself. I guess I can use this as a motivation towards the coming weeks. I have a wedding to attend late April and I really would like to look SO much better than I do now. I want to be able to wear a dress and not have to feel self conscious about my Bingo-Wings and Food Baby sticking out and wobbling around.
Hopefully by next week I will be down AT LEAST one pound. I am contemplating a second weigh-in either tomorrow or Wednesday to see if it changes once I can get the pizza out of my system from boot camp tonight.
Oh well, I need to let go. Maybe when I compare my measurements tonight I will feel less crappy about my week. I don’t think I lost much off anywhere but you never know! I need to let this go and realize that as long as I don’t slip backwards too far I will be okay. And even if I do, I can always restart, as awful as it is. I didn’t gain weight which is good as I think I have been steadily gaining weight since high school was over. So I will keep trying, perhaps weigh-in again tomorrow or Wednesday and try to stay motivated. I knew this wasn’t an overnight solution (Although we all wish it was) and I am going to have to literally work my ass off to see results.
UPDATE** Went home and noted my measurements and even though I didn’t lose any weight I am down another 3.5 inches. I am so glad I decided to do measurements otherwise I would have been SO discouraged long ago…Also, a really funny episode to work out to: Season Four, disk 2: The naked man. Its pretty epic. WATCH IT!
