Week 32 Weigh In

This week I changed it up a bit. I wanted to do something a little different and give my body a new experience with exercising. I so often do the elliptical and this particular pilates video. It is called "Pick your Spot Pilates" and has 10 minute segments that work your abs, buns and thighs. I love this video though and it was good because the moves were things that I could attempt when I first started working out. It wasn't one of those videos that leaves you asking "You want me to put what where and hold it how long?" I have been doing this video since the beginning and know what she is going to say before she says it. A month or so into this journey I thought I would try a new video so that things would not get so mundane. I physically was not capable of doing it. It was far beyond my capabilities and I tucked it aside. Well, this past week I thought I would pop it in and see if I could do some of the moves and to my surprise I could. I could do just about everything. There was just one move that was a bit too much for me and I would have to work on my flexibility to be able to master it, but I was so happy that I could accomplish something, that in the beginning, I was not able to even do at all. I could tell that I worked muscles that I hadn't previously and it was nice to have that workout pain. I like feeling that, it makes me feel like I did some good. Along with the new video, I also jumped on my elliptical. Maybe I will try to get on the recumbent bike a bit more this upcoming week.

Changing things up worked and this week I dropped 3 pounds! Yeah, get out, 3 pounds! That puts my totals at 47.5 pounds lost and 12.5 pounds until goal.
