7 day x 30min Cardio Challenge!!!!!

[TheTrickster]

Hi All,

Well I've found new friend, who just happens to have access to a private gym with sauna, jazcuzzi and swimming pool...

Well he actually sits next to me everyday at work, and has done for over a year, but only told me of this gym recently! - he is getting married soon, so is on a fittness drive - so now I have a training buddy...

So yesterday was the first day using the gym - did weights and the usual and then headed to the jazcuzzi and sauna afterwards for a wind down, then as I was still buzzin' I decided to jog home.

We plan for Monday,Wednesday and Friday evenings the same...

As for today I jogged to work - been told by a trainer to 'head to the hills' if I want to get really fit, after this morning - I'm not sure on her advice! lol

Glad everyone is doing well!

Wow! You all are doing sooooo good!

I have good news to report... After being totally bad on the food front this weekend, I only gained about 1 1/2 lbs. Phew! LOL But... the better news: I went shopping today, cause I literally have NO summer clothes that fit! Mind you, I started at a 26/28 in pants and a 3x in shirts (26/28). Those are the sizes of last summer!

Today, I purchased a pair of shorts in a size 20!!! And they fit nicely! I also bought 4 shirts in a 1x!!! I even bought sandals in a size 9... I used to have to buy 9 1/2 or 9W to fit my fat feet! How exciting! To finish off my shopping spree... I bought a new workout DVD. I won't get to try it out today or tomorrow (work and school programs for the kiddos)... but Thursday is a new/improved workout day! WoooooHoooo!

My mom sent me some pics from my highest weight... but they are mostly in swim suits (vacation in CT), or show a small part of my upper body. I don't think I can post the swim suit pics... I'm not that brave! LOL But... new "me" pics are coming soon!

Thanks so much you all! I was laying in bed last night and thinking of how long it had been since I've worn a size 20 pants or 1X shirt.... honestly... I can't totally remember! I think it's been at least 7-8 years though.

I had strawberries for breakfast. I don't know what the cafeteria will be serving for lunch today... but I'll pick healthy! I haven't decided on what to cook for dinner yet. I might try the new workout video tonight if I'm not too crunched for time. I don't think tomorrow's weigh in will show a loss.... I'm just hoping to hold steady from last week.

Ya'll are doing so good while I am trying to get back into the groove of exercise. I am a bit leary of doing too much cause I have a weekend of diving coming up that I know will whoop my butt... and considering how long recovery takes after a good workout, I prefer to conserve my energy. That said, I did go yesterday after work and did a nice light workout.
