Where is the reset button?

So here we are on August 30th and due to unforseen circumstances I was not able to complete the August challenge I set for myself.  Pretty bummed about that but life happens and I’m ready to move on to September.  Need to find the reset button and move along.

The only workouts for this week that I have to share with you are from yesterday and today.  So here we go.

Saturday-

*Spin/Cycling class
Time: 1 hour 6 min.
Calories burned: 711

Sunday-

*Spin/Cycling class
Time: 1 hour 2 min.
Calories burned: 692

Oh and I did do a 15 min. walk one day last week too.

It was a long week but I’m feeling so much better although still a bit exhausted from everything that transpired over the last week or so.  I am back on target for my daily exercise so September should be good for workouts and goals.  I’ll be posting my September goals and challenge (s) on Tuesday so be on the look out.  Hint: It’s all about The Biggest Loser and more!

I also wanted to say thanks once again for your kindness, notes, emails, etc. in regards to the loss of our sweet Basset Hound.  Our hearts ache every day but it gets a bit easier with each passing day. We remember all the fun times we had with him and laugh (and cry!) about those daily.  Hugs to you all!

How did your workouts go this past week?

 

The Biggest Loser Show and Weekly Weigh In

Do you watch The Biggest Loser show?  I have watched almost every season and continue to be inspired each and every time.  I can’t believe it’s season 7.  I DVR the show every week so I just watched it this afternoon and I was quite emotional throughout the show.  Not sure who my favorite team is yet.  I don’t want to spoil anything by talking about it though so I’ll just say I love both trainers and wish for just a weekend of training with either or both of them.  How fun would that be?

And you’ve gotta love Alison Sweeny, she’s beautiful and makes the show fun.  Last January I had the most awesome experience when I got the chance to meet up with some of The Biggest Loser show contestants when they came to IL for the Million Pound Match Up.  Love the show!

OK, on to my weekly weigh in.  I weighed in last Friday but since I normally weigh in on Wednesday’s, I figured I would just go ahead and do it today even if it hasn’t been a week, just to get on schedule.  Got on the scale this morning and saw that lost SIX POUNDS.  I’m so excited.  That was done in 5 days.  I know it has to do with me getting back into my workout schedule and although I haven’t started keeping my food journal again yet, I have been watching my portion sizes and thinking about the food I’m eating.  I need to keep this going.

Today’s workout was done at home and not the gym due to weather conditions.

Stats:
Walk Away the Pounds 2 mile Walk Slim w/hand weights

Distance: 2 miles
Time: 35:00
Calories burned: 448

Got a post in mind for tomorrow about some good eats I have had recently and want to share.  Hope you have a great evening.
