OH MY Aching Muscles!

My muscles are filled to the brim with latic acid from my Total Gym workout and I ache all over the place, in every wrinkle and crease!  I did the total gym workout on Sunday and so tonight I did the workout again .  I hope it works out some of the latic acid from the muscles but I will know tomorrow morning when I attempt to get out of bed

I'm a Cheater...

I have something to confess...I stayed from my T-Tapp workout and did a Biggest Loser workout today.  Maybe I was trying to shock my muscles a little, including my heart rate.  I just did not have the desire to do another "thread the needle", or "hoe down".   So, today I did the Biggest Loser Boot Camp level 1 and it did get my heart beating and it produced lots of sweat!  I wanted to make sure when I wear my new size 10 to work today, they will still fit!  You have to get the "clothes that fit" as you lose weight because slopping around in your larger sizes allows for a sloppy mental attitude.

Mind Body Connection

I made a mind body connection today.  I am still trying to wrap my mind around my new clothing size 10.  I am still shaking my head and trying to adjust.   I keep making execuses and undermining the accomplishment.  For example, the little brat inside my head keeps saying, "Well, you do know that the new size 10 is actually an old size 12, they are making clothing sizes bigger now but tagging them smaller so women can feel good about it!"  I think I will name this little brat "Nasty Nellie".  Today on my way to church I could hear Nasty Nellie chatting away and I decided that my new size 10 is perfect for me because I have 10 fingers on my hands and these are the same 10 fingers that feed my face.  Going past a size 10 to a 12 would not work as I am declaring that my clothing size must not extend past my digit capabilities!  Tonight I put my body through a Total Gym workout (we have one in the basement) and it works on the same principles as T-Tapp using your own body weight as resistance...it felt good and I got it all done in 30 minutes!

Ten

I went shopping tonight for a new bra because I had a coupon for ten dollars off a purchase at Penneys.
It is so hard shopping for a bra, so many styles to try on and it certainly is a process that requires an addditional person.  After I found acomfortable one, I decided to go try on some pants, as I have given away my size 14 dress pants that I wear to work.  I decided that I was definitely a 12 since my 14's were baggy.  I grabbed the twelves and took in a pair of tens, "just in case".  Then I had a head converation in the dressing room and it went like this, "Do I try on the tens first or the twelves?"  "If I put on the tens first and they don't fit, it will be depressing", but, "If I put on the twelves first and they fit or feel a little loose, then I go for the tens and nobodys feelings get hurt!"  You might be able to tell by the title of my blog which ones I ended up buying!......I was soooo happy I came home and did a celebratory 55 min ttapp!

Kinda Cranky

I woke up kinda cranky today and I did not want to exercise, but I knew that a little session of ttapp would not hurt me and may even lift my mood.  So, I doned the necessary clothing (step 1), set up the tv and dvd player (step 2), and popped open the dvd drawer....this is where I have to decide, commit, make a choice about what I want to do (step 3).  I looked over all the exercise dvd's I have collected and the one that seems to GIVE me energy and wash away the "crankies" is t-tapp.  I decided on the 18 minute basic workout (same as yesterday) with a 12 minute "Leslie walk". Oh, and by the way, I feel better....

Hey!... Its a Miracle!

Now, don't get too excited...I am just really glad I exercised and blogged about it all in the same day!  I was getting a little lazy about it (blogging).  I will admit it is so much better to get it done in the morning and not have to worry about it for the rest of the day and night.  I did ttapp basic plus tempo series, it is an 18 minute workout, so I added a 12 minute walk to it, making it a slim and trim 30 minutes!

Its All Downhill From Here!

I used to focus on the "countdown of days to go" for my project and lately when I have been signing on to The Julie/Nancy Project, I haven't really glanced over at that little window off to the right.  Today I noticed I am getting close to 100 days!  In about a months time, plus 9 days, I will be entering the last 100 days!  It is unbelievable to me I have gone this long exercising.  Even when I was on the swim team in my youth, I did not swim EVERY day! I felt much better today going after a ttapp total workout again and I sailed right through it.  That workout is amazing!
