Review of this Week February 6th

This week has been a challenging week! I was dealing with a lot of extra stress due to my husband being in the hospital. Not to mention that time of the month so I did a little bit of more over eating than I have in weeks past. Though, even with this being said I have still lost an additional 1.8 pounds. 

Group Exercise Week #3 Moving out of my comfort zone

Over the past couple of weeks I have been sharing with you my experience with my first ever group exercise class. Well, in the last two weeks I have shared how I have been trying to move out of my comfort zone. Monday was another class and my comfort level was stretched in ways that I could not even imagine. 

Review of this Week

This has been another really good week of weight loss. I have lost a total of 3 pounds this week putting me back down to 235
pounds. This means I am only 5 pounds away from my first goal! This is a huge accomplishment for me because even though I have set weight loss goals in the past I have never actually reached any of the weight loss goals I have set.

At the beginning of October I had my husband help get accurate measurements using the tape measure that we have. I won’t be sharing exact measurements (yet), but I plan to share the number of inches lost on a monthly basis. The first measurement results will be on the November 7th Blog Post. I am looking forward to finding out those results.

Hitting an Exercise Wall

Today is Saturday and for the past couple of weeks I have reserved Saturdays for my weekly review posts. However, in order to keep in line with the stats on Lose It! I have decided to move those posts to Mondays from now on.

My weight loss is going very very well right now. I am losing weight at a much higher pace than I anticipated. It seems as though I have found a good balance between eating the right number of calories for my body and creating a calorie deficit mainly based on my daily exercise. The exercise portion is what I am writing about today. Is it possible to burn yourself out on exercise? I’m not sure

My First Group Exercise Class

So, I’ve been regularly exercising at least four times a week at the YMCA for the past four weeks now. In about the second week I took a look at the group exercise classes that are offered to members and found one that caught my eye “Core & More”. If there is one area that I’m not sure how to engage properly it is my core.
