Gonna post a graph of my weight from 12/22 'til now. In 6 months I've lost 7.2 lbs. lol. Makes me laugh that I've been running, doing Body Combat and Zumba and have less than an 8 lb. loss to show for it.
I started this year weighing 206.8 and on June 19th was the lightest I've been this year at 196, but with my in-law visiting and all the BBQ, alcoholic beverages, cake, and a bunch of stuff, I went up to 202... in less than a week!!!! Wow.
1/1/2010 - 206.8
2/1/2010 - 202.8
3/6/2010 - 201
4/5/2010 - 198.4
5/11/2010 - 197
6/12/2010 - 199
6/19/2010 - 196 (lightest I've been this year)
6/24/2010 - 202 (in law visiting, eating like crap)
6/26/2010 - 199.6 (now after 2 Zumba and 2 Body Combat classes)
Crazy, I go up and down like a damn yo-yo. I've lost 2.4 lbs. in 2 days because of these classes. Man, I love me some Body Combat. Throwing punches, kicking, ginga... it's all incredibly awesome, never realized I'd like it so much. It's intense. It felt great to know that I did Zumba and hung in there for the whole hour of Body Combat. During cooldown when we got down to do push-ups I did feel woozy though.
I'm really glad I joined the Y and doing these classes with a few gals makes such a difference. If I miss a day, they're on my ass wondering what happened and stuff... love it, it makes me accountable. Today I did 1 hour of Zumba and 1 hour of Body Combat and needless to say, I'm sore as hell, but I finished with a smile and felt great. The trainers make it fun and my gal pals help by keeping me on check.
