Kimberly -- Week 4

First of all, I cannnot believe we are going into Week 5!!  Wow!  I feel like I am making progress,  finally. The scale says I lost 6 lbs (could be water weight or PMS weight) and I do see a little difference in tone and I am really hoping my arms look good for the wedding.  I am getting motivated by the small changes I see so I am hoping to put it into overdrive a little as far as the arms are concerned in October!  I am SO EXCITED for the wedding, Skippy's arrival and overall GOOD TIMES in Florida!!! DJ's, Golf Pros, and Aussies need to be prepared for our arrival :-).... Let the clown show begin! 

So Week 4 looked like this for me:
Sat - Pilates Demo class (arms and abs)
Sun -- 6 mile walk/run with Parker (and Dirty Penis Elliot Spitzer sighting)
Mon --75 min Hot Yoga (High chance of spreading germs -- I don't think I will go again...it's flu season)
Tues --Pilates 1-on-1 session (arms and abs)
Wed -- 1/2 hour bike, 1/2 hour elliptical, arms and abs
Thurs -- STAR class (Spin, Toning, Abs and Relax) There was no relax, believe me!!!
Fri - 1/2 hour bike, 1/2 hour elliptical , weights and sit-ups at home while watching the debate

Bad food:  I did share a pound cake with strawberry sauce and cream with some friends when we were out to dinner. Well, it was Damn good!  And apparently better than RAISINS!!!  I think I already added an extra work out in .... so does that count as my punishment?  And I do have little pieces of chocolate here and there, but I checked the bags and each chocolate egg I eat (leftover from last Easter -- shows you how much I eat) is only 33 cals.  I need to have it... my "cardio" partner is gone, so chocolate is actually a necessity.

Alcohol:  NO ALCOHOL!!!

And I worked out Sat and today too, so that means, I have 9 days straight of working out....Tomorrow I definately will go to the gym b/c I have the afternoon off ... and Tues I have a Pilates appt.  So that will be 11 days!!!!!!   This is the first time in MY LIFE anything like this has ever happened!!!   It is truly a miracle....even last year when I thought I was really into working out, I was never even close to this.  I also feel better in general.  Mentally better and with a higher energy level.

I think my eating habits have also improved.  I am more likely to cook at home, which is also new for me.  I am cooking right now :-)  I used to order everything out, so this is a good change too, and let me tell you, I never would have seen this coming if you asked me a few years ago.  

TMC is AWESOME !!!!!!
