O.k. so I have to apologize as things have been crazy and as you can tell I have not blogged in a while!  But here I am, on a cloudy Friday morning trying to get motivated without a cup of coffee… can I succeed, that is the question at the moment? 

So last week I didn’t make it to the weigh-in due to the fact that my husband did not get home from the dentist till 6:45pm and weigh-in is at 6:30pm and I really didn’t want to get to the gym only to work out for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes so I stayed home with the family. 

Life truly has been full lately and I must say my ‘extra’ workouts have not been happening above and beyond the gym except maybe once a week.  Yes, that is how crazy/motivated me lost so much weight in FFC1 was doing the extra workouts as well as being very diligent to watch what I eat.  So am I losing… well, I was averaging about 1 pound a week this round – which I am happy with – however, after last nights weigh in… well, let’s just say Mike and Scott (our trainers) wanted to run me into the ground and I was soooo looking forward to it!

The workouts have been switched up a bit at the gym lately, where we are focusing on team – which is GREAT but at the same time there have been a couple times that I didn’t even break a sweat and for those of you that know me that is definitely not normal.  But it was fun to stick together, cheer eachother on, etc, however, my normal calorie burn was decreased by quite a bit and like I said I didn’t make up for it on my own.  And I will admit I haven’t been as good with my calorie watching lately either… O.k. so I am rambling I know – I am good at that at times.  So yeah… I was “SAFE” last night but between me and well, all of you that read this – I was far from SAFE – I actually had gained – so yes, last night thrilled me to the core to have a HARD, In my face, kick my bootie, type of workout.  Sorry to all of you that didn’t like it but I loved it!  Mike had asked at the end who wanted to keep going and of course I raised my hand – but the catch was I guess we were all supposed to raise our hands cause then he made us go on until others had to lie and say they wanted more… but I must say I really did.  I am sore today – first time in a long time and it feels good.  Am I strange?  I love pain or something… what is up with me? 

Well, enough of my boring thoughts for today… I am making coffee – there is the answer to the first question!  I have attached a couple photos for you to get a good laugh!

 

 

I tell you... I love the pain!
