No Workout Day = No Workout Day... Finally

Yes, it's true... I really took a day off. My muscles were yelling at me last night, and I finally caved. I could barely get out of bed this morning. My entire legs hurt. It was awful! But, I thought about it, and I really haven't taken a true day off. (And, admittedly, I didn't really "take today off" as I say... I did like 30 minutes on the Wii... guilty)

I was very strict about my diet though today, because I knew I wouldn't be burning as many calories as usual, so I preplanned lunch and dinner to make sure I was on track. I still haven't burned my 1000 calories more than I consume, but I have faith it will happen. I will make it happen! I am determined!

I can't quite find the words to describe what's going through my head right now... but I can say that I am really really confident this time. I can feel the commitment in myself. Usually after taking a day off of working out, I'm planning my next day off. Instead, I have emailed Brenda to plan our week of working out, planned working out with Mom tomorrow, and am planning on going to a spin class this week! I am trying to get an old friend to go with me, but I don't think it's going to happen... those closest to me know what I'm talking about. But I will be going to the spin classes myself, and I'm totally ok with that! Classes are fun to take with other people, but I feel more focused when I go by myself... especially spin. I can't wait to get back into it! I enjoyed it when I used to go with Cortney and Ashley! :) So here I go again... I will probably go Wednesday night. Updates will be coming!

And my good news of the week? I lost more weight than people on the ranch this week! Definitely made me happy! I always compare myself to Courtney, and she only lost 2 pounds this week on the show! :) So proud of myself!
