7 point workout!

I’ve reached a new personal best today…a 7 Activity Point workout!

Today I did day 7 of level 3 of the 30DS and then the 20 minute Turbo Jam Workout.  50 minutes of high-intensity = 7 APs! Wowza.  Good times, because I needed to make up for a couple extra points and the 2 days I took off last week.  Realistically, a 50 minute workout is not always going to be possible for me, but I figure that on the days that I feel like I can do it, I should just do it…that way it makes up for the days when I just can’t get it together.

Anyway, the 20 minute Turbo Jam, though only 5 minutes longer than the Learn and Burn, is considerably more difficult.  I am a dancer, and I was even having a hard time keeping up!  But I did find it to be a good workout.  I thought I’d find Chalene to be super irriating, but she’s alright. It’s the other cast members that are annoying!!  Call me cynical, but NOBODY loves working out so much that they have a Joker-esque grin plastered on their faces the entire time!!  Give me a break.

I decided to weigh myself today, just to see where I’m at. I NEVER weigh myself at home because I think it gives you a false sense of security if you’re down, or creates havoc if you’re up.  My WW buddy claims that she can lose over a lb in the course of a workout, so I was curious.  So, right after my workout, my scale read 176, which is 2.2 down from my last weigh in.  I’m not banking on this being my official WI result, but it made me feel good nonetheless.

We’re ordering in thai food tonight.  I have really been craving it lately. I tried to pacify it with my own WW thai curry, but as I mentioned yesterday, it wasn’t all that great.  We have a friend coming over tonight, so at least there won’t be tempting leftovers!  Everything in moderation….

In other exciting news, I’m currently wearing a pair of jeans that I haven’t been able to get into comfortably in 4 months! And, they’re not cutting off the bloodflow to my brain.  Yay :)

**Update**

Next time I want to gorge on thai food, someone please remind me that my new eating habits do not allow for such behaviour. To be fair, I didn’t binge, but I did have a little more than I should have and now I feel a little bit ill.  I think I probably ate near 25 points in that dinner, and I had 21 put aside for it.  Worth it? At the time, yes….now I’m afraid I may have ruined my week!  That would NOT be worth it.  My mouth feels dry, which means there was a lot of salt in the food…I hope I’m not still retaining water by Wednesday :S

The only good thing is that I know how much I used to eat, and I did NOT eat nearly that much….My judgment and control has improved a lot.  Let’s focus on the positive.
