The other member of the B Team is down for the count - sick in bed - which means she missed weigh-ins today. We are at Day 31 and I am down 16 pounds. That's a pretty good month especially since there has been some cheating along the way. My goal is to have another month this good. We'll see how that goes. I'm anxious to start throwing in some other forms of exercise - bicycling, swimming, walking & pole dancing (I just wanted to see if you were paying attention - although I may want to look into that - you never see a fat pole dancer & I do want to keep my options open). The elliptical, although it seems to be effective, is starting to bore me. I bet that's a shocker!
The next goal on my list it to wear a dress. Not just any dress but a beautiful dark plum dress that I bought about a year ago because I loved the color and it was originally $115 and I got it for $14. I brought it home and showed my daughters and their first question was - why did you buy a dress? You have to understand, they are 14 & 15 and have never seen me wear a dress, so it was a very valid question. My response... because I liked it and it only cost $14. They just shook their head. I hate when my kids are a killjoy to my little moment of retail happiness.
The event is on Wed., April 4 and I am going to wear this beautiful dark plum colored dress that accentuates the upper portion of the front of my body. I figure I better show those puppies off before they disappear - and they will!!! Now the choice is mine. I can continue to work hard at this diet and exercising and look pretty good in my new dress on April 4 or I can start to waiver and then slip on my new dress and look like the Michelin tire guy. I better get it out of my closet and hang it in the kitchen for the next 2 weeks. I'll keep you posted.
I added one other goal over the next month ~ to learn to dance. Not formal dancing but just moving my body in a way that doesn't make people wonder if I'm having a seizure. When I dance it appears that parts of my body are frozen while other parts appear to be moving. I'm not sure if that can be fixed without a strong drug or alcohol. I know it was possible in Footloose so I'm pretty sure I can make it happen. Time to head home and boogie on down, rock and roll and body slam the dog ~ this is gonna be fun!!!
Just do it! Turn on the radio and start dancing for a half hour. Work up a sweat and have fun doing it. I also get on my rebounder...a mini trampoline...that I jump to the music with too. Since starting with you guys (actually two weeks before), I've lost 22 pounds. Not sure what the grand total is since the doc told me to seriously lose weight, I only visit him in June. I too, have a dress that I would like to wear on April 27th for a dancing event. So, keep on going! It is totally worth the effort.
