crispin- those two pounds were waiting a week which is about how long it took for the water weight (i think) to disappear. Originally it was closer to 6, which was still better than I thought it would be after 3 weeks of pretty much eating every meal out.
I started level 1 again yesterday and barely broke a sweat, so I did level 2 also. I might have to revise my goals, but I want to see if I have the time commitment to do two a day. Plus my legs are really sore this morning.
September goals:
20 Days JM 30 day shred
40 miles walking
Sept 1: Hiking
Sept 2: Off
Sept 3: JM Level 1 AND Level 2 (18 left) plus 1.5 miles treadmill (38.5 left)
Ok I am doing a pretty crappy job of getting in exercise. I can make some pretty compelling excuses (my infant is teething and is constantly strapped to my chest, the two littles I take care of haven't been napping properly, and I have been working 15 hours a day) but even if the excuses SOUND like reasons, I know they are really just excuses. I am still going to get my 1040 minutes in this month! Just need to get inspired!
In September I'm really going to focus on my yoga practice because it is building incredible strength and even though I haven't lost tons of weight yet, I can feel the change in my body from it.
My September Yoga Goal: 1,000 minutes of yoga
Sept 3 - 38 minutes (962 to go!)
Sept 5 - 40 minutes (922 to go!)
