Hello 250s :-) & Exercise Wow
Jan 26, 2009
Well this morning I weighed in and welcomed the 250s
I was kinda going through a *mini stall* of only a pound lost here and there so with my 4 pound loss last week I weighed in at 256 this morning. I am not sure why reaching the 250s seems so huge to me......but it does. I think maybe its because all these rides at amusement parks usually say max weight 250. Maybe just the thought of *knowing* I can take my daughter this summer and I will MOST DEF be able to get on any ride with her means so much. It just for me personally has seemed like such a landmark. Losing 80 lbs so far literally blows my mind!! As far as exercise, I have really stepped up my cardio intensity to try and burn as much fat as possible. Even before surgery I tended to be a gym rat (at times....lol). I always took this one step aerobics class called Group STEP. It is a nationally based program offered at gyms nationwide. It is super fun but very intense. They say on average you can burn over 650-700 calories per class! Well always taking the class I was always having to stop and catch my breath and take a sip of water. Or for some tracks in the class, I was doing the movements without the step because I just couldnt at around 340 lbs. Well last friday I went and did the class again, and for the 1st time, I made it through the WHOLE CLASS without stopping to come up for air once!!! I even took the 'harder' versions of some moves to up my intensity. I was so proud of myself, I could have screamed it from the mountain tops...lol
Thats all for now....so far.....gotta love my RNY
