Week 8 Recap

Yes!

Week 8 was my best week yet. I think my body is finally getting on board with this exercise thing. My official weigh in and picture taking is next weekend, but so far since starting Turbo Fire I have lost 7 pounds!!!

It feels good to finally start losing something substantial and not just water weight. 7lbs is the real deal, and in only 3 weeks, which is pretty good considering I was going for 1-2 pounds per week.

I didn't miss a single Turbo Fire exercise this week, and although I didn't eat particularly well this weekend, my body seems to be handling it just fine.

Along with the pounds, I have lost inches as well. Actually, last Friday I found measurements that I had taken way back around March 1st, and let's just say that my waist especially has GREATLY improved. I was super surprised!

It's amazing what a little weight loss will do for enthusiasm. I was so pumped this entire weekend, despite the fact that it rained straight for 2 days. Even though I am feeling sluggish today, I'm in such a good mood, and can't wait to exercise tonight.

I think I am going to drive Matt crazy with each pound lost, but luckily for me he is my biggest supporter :) I doubt I will drive him away with all of my crazy talk, jumping up and down and endless smiles!

With this progress I am so much more motivated to eat healthier and exercise harder. The Turbo Fire exercises have been FANTASTIC. Every single one of them leaves me absolutely dripping in sweat, from head to toe. Now that I have finished my third week, there's no messing around anymore. I know the moves by heart, so it's time to up the intensity.

This week's goal is to add a lot more power to my workouts. That includes adding power to my punches and kicks and to be conscious of keeping my abs tight and muscles flexed.

Also-since the big weigh in and picture taking is this coming weekend, my focus is to eat really clean this week. That won't be too much of a problem since Matt and I have a weekly allowance (since we're big into saving right now!) and most of it has already been spent. That means lots of healthy home cooking for us!

YAHOO! Bring on this rainy, nasty week. Nothing's stopping me :)
