Weigh In and A Great Week!

Today is Friday so it is weigh in day!! I am happy to report that I lost 1.4lbs last week bringing my total to around 45lbs. This is great! I am inching my way back to where I need to be!  I couldn't be happier!  This loss means that I am only 1lb away from winning my first DietBet!! YAY! I can do this!!! I have a little over a week!

This was a great week and it all started with St. Patricks Day celebrations last Saturday.  I knew it would be a day full of drinking and poor food choices as well as poor life decisions.  I was right.  Of course I was right...it was St. Paddy's day and it's my favorite day drinking holiday!  No shame.  I'm a single 28 year old with no responsibilities yet, I'm allowed to go out and have fun without judgement! :)  I suppose...

It was a GREAT day!
Filled with beer, Jameson and Irish Car bombs!
Woof...

I made myself promise that if I had one reallllly bad day that I would get back on track the next day and do awesome the rest of the week. I am happy to report that I kept that promise to myself!  The very next day I was up early and got a long walk in!

I love seeing flowers popping up!
It means SPRING is almost here!!

The whole week I was on track with my eating.  I ate on point and made sure I made it to all my workouts.

Monday Night Zumba.
SO MAD! The instructor was late so we got jipped 10 mins!
I could have burned more calories. Booo
Probably should have went on the treadmill or something...

Usually my rest days are Tuesdays.  Rest days are important for me since I had back surgery.  Anything that involves bouncing or jumping really hurts my back. Ex: Zumba & running.  So breaking up my workouts and making sure I don't do more than 2-3 days in a row is important!  However....there is one problem.  Tuesday was a rainy and gross day but then after work it turned out to be BEAUTIFUL and I could not just sit inside and take a rest day!! Esp after the train wreck on St Paddy's day!  So I decided to head out for a walk.  I ended up running a bit and that was probably dumb...but you know me...I did it anyways.

Tuesday's workout.
I did cut it short to only 3 miles.

Of course since I worked out Sunday, Monday and Tuesday my back was really sore.  But I CAN NOT and WILL NOT miss Wednesdays zumba class. It is by far my favorite workout day and my favorite class EVER!! I am obsessed with the instructor and it is soooo much fun!!  Think of zumba, hip hop and a skanky/slutty dance class combined. YUP.  LOVE it.

Zumba Wednesday! <3

After zumba on Wednesday my back hurt.so.bad.  Like really bad.  I really needed to rest it Thursday.  I did take a rest day yesterday and it helped a little.  My back still def hurts and I am debating going to the gym tongiht.  I might take another rest day and go tomorrow.  I did workout 4 times so far this week which is my goal and I know I am going to go tomorrow making it 5 days this week!  Maybe tonight I will just sit still.

Reached my 4x/week goal every week in March
Except the first week...idk what happened there!

My goals for this week is to finish strong and WIN this DietBet!  I am only 1lb away and I KNOW I can do it!  I just have to stay on track with my food and keep hitting the gym.  My workouts usually range from 450-700 calories but I think that is not enough for the results I want.  I need to step it up somehow.  Maybe doing longer cardio sessions?  Or maybe start calculating my weight lifting sessions? I usually don't keep track of those calories but maybe I should.  I don't know.  I really want to step it up.  Esp now that I am on a roll with my weightloss. I love it! Exactly the motivation I needed!

I hope everyone had a great week! And I'm sorry I had to change my comments process but I was getting like 30 spam comments a day!! Ugh so obnoxious! :)
