If I was a professional baseball team, you could say that I'm on a winning streak! Even though it is the weekend, the time when I want to be lazy, I have stuck to my workouts!!!
Yesterday, though I wanted to sit my ass on the couch and veg, I did the bike for 20 minutes (5.5 miles again)!
Today, rather than start off my day with a shower, I threw on my workout clothes and did my Biggest Loser workout again.
Thankfully, as I had hoped, the workout was (just a little) easier, and I was huffing and puffing (just a little) less.
I'm on a roll, baby!!!
Where is this new motivation coming from, you might ask? It honestly has nothing to do with New Year's resolutions. It has more to do with the fact that I've got a doctor's appointment in a few weeks, and I want to be able to counter any lectures on my weight with "I've already lost (fill in the blank) pounds this year".
I'm also looking ahead to a trip out west in May - first a conference in Vegas, followed by a quick trip to California and Salt Lake City with Ben. Not only do I not want to go through the stress of squeezing my ass into a seat on an airplane (with my boss sitting right next to me), but I'd also love nothing more than to hear "wow, you look great" or "have you lost weight?" from some of the friends and family members that we'll be visiting.
The trick for this week will be deciding whether to wake up early to exercise, or commit to working out in the evenings before dinner. That remains to be seen.
Gotta keep this streak going....
