Paper is done! :) :)

Now I can get back to the fun things in life…Like studying for exams. Yahoo.

I did the Turbo Jam Cardio Party again today. It was a bit better than yesterday, but I still was totally bagged by the end. I can’t believe that I actually like Chalene.  I thought she’d be SO annoying, but…I’m officially a convert! It is a really great workout, and it’s more fun than a lot of others I’ve tried. I definitely like that I get 6 APs for it!  I’m not sure that it’s more effective than something like the 30 Day Shred…the jury is still out on that one. I’m going to continue with my measurements, so I’ll keep you all posted.

I’m really interested in hearing what all of you do for exercise- do you ever do workout dvds? I have been compiling a wish list on Amazon. So far, I have: Biggest Loser Boot Camp, Biggest Loser Cardio Max (Vol 3), Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga, Jillian Michaels’ No More Trouble Zones, and New York City Ballet Workout Vol 2 (I figure since I used to be a semi-professional dancer I could handle the more advanced version!)  Right now I’m leaning towards the Weight Loss Yoga, but who am I kidding, I’ll probably order all of them eventually.  I’ve decided to actually make a list of rewards so that I have something to work towards.  Here’s my list:

- Any of the above dvds

- Dr. Brant Microdermabrasion in a Jar (if you haven’t tried it, do it.  Best money you’ll ever spend! Dry skin will be eliminated, guaranteed.)

- A magazine subscription (Shape? Fitness? Women’s Health? Weight Watchers? I love them all…)

- Fit Flops (If you’re not in the loop on these, check it out: www.thefitflop.com)

- Bath and Body Works Lotion (this is a big deal in Canada- we only have B & B in a few cities, and mine is not one of them.  I’ll be ordering my delicious Midnight Pomegranate body butter online!)

- A massage…in fact, I think I’m going to do this anyway.  I have benefits for another 2 months, and I intend to take full advantage of them!

What do you reward yourself with?

For some reason I’m feeling really motivated and encouraged about my weight loss this week. I’m really hoping that my body has clued in to what’s going on and that it will finally let the extra weight go.

2.8 lbs until I go down another notch on the BMI…I can’t wait. It’s SUCH a great feeling.  I think it’s even better than the number on the scale.

Tuesday is my day from hell…Looking forward to the end of the day when I can relax with some Biggest Loser! :)

    Yeah- Congrats on finishing the paper!! I feel like my whole life resloves around studying for exams. LOL I am very interested in the fit flops. Have you ever worn these? Well, My DBF has rewarded me with a food scale, a new purse and wallet when I made my 5%. He is also going to do something special when I make my 10% goal… only 8 lbs to go. I haven’t set up a reward schedule for myself really tho… I should. I like your ideas. :)

    Thanks, Tracy! I have never worn the fit flops, but I think I’ll try to get them for this summer since I’ll hopefully be walking to work a lot. What kind of food scale do you have? I don’t have one, but I’ve been thinking of getting one… You are SO close to reaching your 10%! You’ll be there in no time :)
