I stepped on the scale this morning and it doesn't show it but I feel like I made some progress this weekend. I have been so tired for working too much lately and I was letting that influence my lack of movement. I did not make any excuses this weekend and actually got some effective workouts in. I can tell too, because I have more energy tonight!
I did a 30 minute workout on the recumbent bike on Saturday morning before heading up to Cedar Falls for my cousins wedding reception. I didn't eat much food, but did cheat with a piece of cake :(
I was excited to use my free tickets to the Hall & Oates tickets at Riverside on Saturday night and little did I know that was going to be the best workout of the weekend. We stood the whole concert(to much of the dislike of some of the fuddy duddy's sitting around us), okay we didn't just stand the whole concert, my husband and I were dancing the whole time. I found a spreadsheet that you can enter your weight and the length of time you did an activity that tells you how many calories you burn. Well dancing for 1 hour and 40 minutes I burned 824 cals!! Too bad we then hit the buffet to help celebrate my husband's birthday. I still didn't eat a ton of food.
Today I kept putting off doing any exercise, but finally after going to a movie with the family I decided I better get at it. I jumped on the recumbent bike for 30 minutes then after supper I decided since I was sitting downstairs watching baseball that it wouldn't hurt if I jumped on for another 30 minutes. Well lost track of time and rode for 40 minutes. I feel great tonight and hopefully it will start showing on the scale soon.
I went and bought some new clothes today and I usually wear a size 20 shirt and decided I better try the shirt on first and decided I better go with the next size smaller. Yes!!! So it may not always show on the scale but people are starting to notice.
Thanks again Schulte and Swan for the tickets to the show! I was able to help my husband celebrate his birthday and got in a good workout!
