Where have I been?
The past few weeks I have been pretty quiet on my blog. It is not that I have nothing to say because God knows, I always have something to say, but it is more about not wanting to say what is actually going on with me.
I am afraid that I have fallen off of the wagon. And HARD! Sometimes, I just don't want to think about what I am eating, how many points it is, how many calories it has. I just want to be a normal person who can eat what they want and never gain a pound. But I know I am not that person and I have to adjust to living as someone who has to worry about what they are eating.
My body LOVES weight apparently. Although, I know in a weeks time I didn't not eat in excess of 14,000 extra calories, I gained 4.8 lbs this week. I did track everything I ate, I did exercise all week but I also ate 4 Cadbury Cream Eggs, 2 days in a row. WHO does that? Me, I guess.
Anyway, that 4.8 lbs gain has really hit home. I almost cried at my Weight Watchers meeting on Saturday when my leader (Koren) asked me what "they" could do to help me. Why? Because as nice as it is for her to offer support, there is nothing that "Anyone" can do to help me except for myself.
I feel like a broken record these days to friends and family by saying I am going to change, I am going to go back to being really strict, I am going to just do it. Because inevitably, something comes up that week that throws me off the wagon and feeling full of remorse and regret. But, I am saying that because of how I am feeling, clothes not fitting and I am generally just not feeling good in my own skin anymore, that I am going to do it. I DO NOT want to go back to where I was and I think that this was just the scare I needed to get myself back on track.
As mentioned before, I am going to Jamaica in August 2014 and I would like to have a goal to lose at least 25 lbs by the time I step on the plane. It is a lot but it is totally achievable for me, I think.
My Gym Life!
This week I am looking forward to new release week at my gym (Goodlife Fitness). Every quarter they change around the routines for the exercise classes and it is always exciting to see what they have in store for the classes. Tonight I will do Body Pump and hopefully Body Step if I can make it back to the gym. I don't want to be fanatical about it, but I do want to try the classes.
Several people ask me what exactly we do in the classes and why I love them so much. There are a couple of reasons, first off, I LOVE the instructors. I have never really come across a bad one, they are all friendly and want you to succeed and do their best to help you. The second reason is because I feel that the classes are something that I am actually fairly good at. I can keep up with them and they are loads of fun.
In case you are ever interested in joining a gym, I absolutely recommend Goodlife Fitness.
Here are some videos to show exactly what we do in some of the classes. My favourites are Body Pump, Body Combat, Body Step and RPM:
