Discoveries

Okay so today I had a good realization, as well as a bad discovery...

I'll start with the bad (because it's better to get it out of the way first...).

I am past the 190 mark.

There. I said it.

I weighed myself today in the afternoon and felt shame as I saw the scale read 193. That is 7lbs short of the 200 mark. Wow. I can't believe I am back to this. This is SERIOUS.

I will not dwell-just work to change that!

Now for the good news...I am hot!
Not in the vain, appearance way. In the body temperature way. Now you might think to yourself "well yah, fat people are hot all the time." But not with me. When I am unhealthy, I am nearly always cold. My brother says it is related to metabolism. I'm not quite sure, but I know my body and I know when there is a significant change. I was hot all day today even though it was crisp and cool outside. I nearly broke a sweat carrying groceries to my car from the store. I am excited about this because it is a sign that my body is starting to respond to phyiscal exertion more quickly again!

Today I did 30 minutes of cardio on my Wii Fit system using the new Jillian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum game. It's actually really good. I selected the weight-loss system which included 20 minutes of jogging (broken into about 8 2.5 minute intervals), and 10 minutes of other plyo-type exercises (fast squats, arm exercises, etc). All together I burned approximately 400 calories and really broke a sweat! Yesterday I attended Aerobic Kickboxing again and felt it HARDER than before because I pushed myself a lot harder this time. The day before (Sunday) I played a 50 minute soccer game with my team outnumbered by 4 players (we only had 7 as opposed to the usual 11). This definitely gave me a strong work out.

I am on an exercise streak and am going to do my best to keep it going. In fact, it's 10pm and I have the urge to go do something else for exercise! I think I am going to talk my BF into letting me do some Yoga on the Wii instead of playing guitar hero! :)

So yes, I am at a dangerous weight again, but I WILL change it!

I WILL!
