Excuses.......excuses

Finally weighed this morning.....down a few more pounds for a total of "almost but very close" to 55 pounds!  I am currently 3 months and 1 week post-op surgery for weight loss.  I am super pleased with the progress and happy to see the 180's on the scale this week. 

I only made it to Zumba 1 time this week...and last week.  Not good Ashley but not surprising. However, our regular instructor had a sub and this chic was the Bomb-Diggity Monday nite!!!  She was FABULOUS and super high impact.  I was able to hang right there with her.  I don't think many know what a fabulous feeling that is.  I felt like I belonged there.  Not just there to survive.  We won't talk about how sore I was the next day but how exhilirating that felt.  I just couldn't move to go to class Tuesday nite and had the car (her name is Bon Qui Qui) in the shop for a little TLC Thursday so missed that class.

Zumba is only 3 days a week for this particular class.  That isn't the best deal but it is a start.  Need to work towards a 30 minute per day cardio goal.  This is the one area I struggle the most.....always have.  Especially when I am super busy.  I wish someone would open a Zumba or Dance Cardio studio close by.  Not saying I'd be there every day but at least I wouldn't have an excuse.  I shouldn't have any excuse.  I have the MEGA hoss Bowflex Treadclimber in my office that I have walked on twice in the month I have had it.  Yes, I struggle in the motivation area.  It is a "in a little while", "tomorrow" "soon" thing that I have to work through.  This body and soul is so much better when it gets a little cardio.  I know this....I need to own this.
