Tomorrow is "Doom Day". We have to weigh AND measure this week. It's going to be a really good day after it's done or I may be more miserable than I have been thus far & that's saying a lot. Last week I weighed 200 which means I've lost 23 lbs. Tomorrow morning I'll either be UNDER 200, which is what I'm really hoping for, or I'll be stuck at 200. My only other option is to gain & Lord help that scale if that has happened! (I mentioned earlier that I wanted to murder it & tomorrow could be that day.)
Today we worked out with Audrey. Not our normal Friday morning & after not sleeping well last night & working all the day, trust me when I say I'm feeling it! Let's just say, in the nicest way possible of course, she kicked my ass! I actually did a seemingly innocent & easy looking workout. It lied. It was not innocent OR easy. In fact it was one of the hardest ones I've done yet which means one of two things: 1. It was made to look easy but sneak in & kick the crap out of you. or 2. I'm severely & grossly out of shape! (I'm bettin' on #2...)
I was seriously feeling light headed & a tad nauseas when I finished it. I recovered with a mile on the treadmill. I'm proud of myself for finishing but honestly it just showed me how far I still have to go. It also proved to me how far I've come. In January I couldn't have even gotten through one round of that torture if my life depended on it. Probably would've dropped dead trying. So the fact that I finished 3 sets of "stations" that consisted of 3 or 4 different exercises was just pretty cool. I'm super thankful to Audrey for getting me here, or helping me get here since it's not her skinny lil' self doing all the work! I pay her to tell me what to do & how to eat. What a scheme she has going on! Just kiddin' Audrey, you're super & we're truly blessed to have you helping us!
I hope all that crap pays off on that stupid scale tomorrow. If not, I know where a hammer is and I'm so not afraid to use it! (but then I'll just have to go buy another one. The stupid thing will tell me the same things that I'll either like or not. "Don't shoot the messenger"...) I guess my other alternative is trudge on till next Wednesday & pray for the best. Doesn't sound like as much fun but it's probably the better idea in the long run. Scale saved by clear thinking! Well, as clear a thinking such is possible with generic Ambien CR running through my veins. Off to bed. Results tomorrow.
Monica... you're awesome! You have the strength and willpower to do that which I am too chicken! Just so ya know, and I told you this the other day... You look amazing and I can tell that you are even feeling better. No matter what that stupid scale says tomorrow... I see the improvement and I bet you feel it. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteDitto what Leesha said, "you look amazing"
ReplyDeleteSo glad my scheme is working ;-) by the way, it was a sneaky butt kicker workout! You did amazing! I was so pumped at your progress - I think I talked Jadon's ear off on the way home, you'd think I'd won the lottery :-) You guys are the best and you're doing such an incredible job. I'm voting that the scale gets to survive - based on an awesome # I've heard the 100's referred to as "One-der Land" I think that's where you are headed today.
Thanks Felicia...your compliments are appreciated! (although I have to say I'm not the best at taking them) I do feel better but not as different as I want to so will keep on until that happens & beyond that.
ReplyDeleteAudrey: I'm glad your scheme is working too, if it wasn't this plan woulda been gone weeks ago! The results... not as great this week as I would've liked but hopefully next week will be better. =)
