Weekend update #2!

What a weekend.

I went to my weigh-in on Saturday and I’m down 2.1 lbs so I’ve lost 18.9 lbs so far. I’m going to pat myself on the back and say that I’ve lost a total of 19 lbs because, why not? I was worried because last time I weighed-in before that special time of the month, I only lost .4 lbs. Apparently, working out 3-4 times a week definitely helps so! No excuses.

My husband ran the Pittsburgh Marathon yesterday. He raised $1,275 for the Western PA Humane Society and broke his personal record. I’m a proud, proud wife. There’s this overwhelming feeling every time I see him finish a race and I know this feeling won’t ever go away.

Now, it’s Monday and for some reason I feel as if I ran a marathon. Walking around Pittsburgh and standing for over four hours can be intense. Nothing like running for 26.2 miles, though. :)

Weekend update!

Saturday:

I went to my Jenny weigh-in and… I’m down 3.2 lbs making it a grand total of 16.8 lbs! :) I have a quite a ways to go, but starting this week, I’m making my own breakfast and snacks. I’m not ready to go off Jenny food entirely since I do have 52.4 lbs more to lose, but this is the step in the right direction.

I went to brunch and stuck with two bowls of salad. Although I didn’t use dressing, I ate a small portion of this Broccoli-Cauliflower Salad that was so amazing. It had onions, bits of bacon, shredded cheese, and some kind of creamy dressing. I made sure to fill my bowl with 99% salad and the rest with the other mixture.

Clothes are fitting a littler loser now. Nothing that has me jumping for joy, but this is good progress. I noticed that my shirts are a little baggy, my shorts are a little loose around the thigh area, and my yoga pants aren’t as tight-fitting.

Sunday:

My husband and I walked to the track nearby our place. I didn’t realize how steep the hills were or else I would’ve maybe leaned towards driving. Still, we made the trek. He ran and I walked close to 2.5 miles. I think my legs wouldn’t be so sore right now if I didn’t have to do the uphill and downhill walk, but hey, this just goes to show I have so many muscles that need workin’ on.

I also purchased Rockin’ Body, which is one of Shaun T’s earlier dance/workout routines. I already did Hip Hop Abs and man do I feel embarrassed for sharing this, haha. He’s definitely a cheese-ball, but a good motivator/dancer so it works for me. I already did a couple of his routines and they were fun. I ended up working up quite a sweat so I consider this another successful purchase.

Activity Monitors galore!

The only two activity monitors I’ve owned are the Fuelband and Fitbit Flex. I have small wrists so the Fuelband felt clunky and looked a little odd on me. However, I liked what it did and how it made me stay motivated. The Fitbit was awful. The customer service was just as awful, too. I would never recommend that “company” to anyone.

Do any of you wear activity monitors? If so, which one and how are you liking it?
