10-10-10 ... 296.4

Well folks it was a great week.  In spite of my gain I know that I am on the right track.  I have never got off of the scales from a 2.2 weight gain and felt good until Saturday.  The difference I think was that I know I'm doing what I need to without a doubt.  I know that I'm measuring what I eat and I'm moving my butt!

I really got a routine going this week with the gym and workouts.  I went to the gym on my way home from work which was really the best!  I have to drive right past 24 hour fitness to get on the freeway so it's not one bit out of the way.  I really liked the water aerobics classes.  It was actually pretty comical because they offer the class on Tue..Wed..and Thur...but everyday there is a different instructor.  OMGoodness It's all a trick if you go all three days it is increasingly harder.  The class on Tuesday had an older instructor.  I would say that she is probably around 65 or so and she was really easy.  I mean I can't say that I didn't get a workout but lets just say that it was a very comfortable beginning.  Wednesday, the lady was early 20's and bubbly, she pushed a bit harder and had moves that were more challenging.  Really got my heart rate up and felt like a had a good workout.  The icing on the cake was on Thursday, my favorite, I swear this woman did not look like Jillian Michael's but I think she was trained by Jillian. She kicked my butt.  Holy cow, this woman is about 40 and her name is Kat, she is the only one whose name I remembered.  She was very memorable in a lot of ways!!  I am telling you that this woman screamed like a drill sergeant and she pushed and pushed you it was great and Friday morning I felt it and Saturday morning I really felt it.

So Saturday I got up really early and went to my meeting.   Then I went to meet Elissa and Karen for a great walk...now mind you I have to admit I had no idea what I was signing up for...LOL.  Elissa invited me to join them for their walk at Parker Square so I'm thinking hey great I'll meet them and walk for 30 minutes or so and get on down the road.  These ladies are not kidding around when they take a walk ...they take a walk.  So an hour and a half later and 3.66 miles later we were done.  WOW!  It was awesome but a pretty big dose for a big girl just getting started.  So I've completed my first 5K!  YEAH  Elissa you kicked my butt but thank you for the invitation!  It was a great walk!  My legs and tush are still throbbing but hey ...no pain no gain right?

After our walk and a quick stop at the grocery I had to get ready for my Premier Jewelry party!  Had a small turnout but some of the best ladies I know were there :)  Thanks for coming ladies I hope you had fun!

Another week ahead and still no pictures, I am taking them though so that will be a surprise for you when I get them up here.  Next weekend is going to be a slow weekend so I'm hoping that I can get them up here for you then.  I'm having a great time on this quest of mine and I know that it is not all fun and games, but a lot of hard work. 

I am looking forward to another busy and active week ahead! 

God bless each of you!
