Switching Things Up

I decided to try a new cardio machine.

I'm going to give the treadmill a break for a little while.

This is similar (if not the same) to the new machine I started on yesterday: (Downfall is that it will be more difficult to read while on it.)

3 pounds

Yup.
Finally lost something.
I'm happy.
I'm sure I've lost a inch or so.
Clothes are fitting better.

pizza

Last night, I burned over 450 calories on the treadmill.
Then I lifted weights.
Then I did crunches.

Then I ate the vast majority of a disgusting pizza from Little Ceasers.

So much for the 450 calories.

Yesterday, when I walked into the gym, the gym guy Mike said, "Hey Babe." I don't think he saw me blush.
He wasn't hitting on me, but it caught me off guard!

Why Women Lose Weight—or Don’t

A recent University of Minnesota study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health examined the relationship between body satisfaction and BMI five years later among a group of overweight teen girls. Researchers Patricia van den Berg and Dianne Neumark-Sztainer found that overweight girls who were more comfortable with their bodies were less likely to gain weight as they entered young adulthood. The Minnesota research suggests that girls who felt good about themselves were more likely to be physically active and pay more attention to what they ate. They didn't lose much weight, but they made healthy lifestyle changes that at least prevented them from gaining more weight.

I found this article today, and I agree. Especially the quote pulled, shown above. Though I have less muscle than in high school and am not in as good of shape, I still wear some of the same clothes.

4 days

It has been since last Wednesday I worked out.
I have a feeling I'm going to pay for it today!

Today is the two-hour workout.
Cardio and Strength training.

Monday night football is in Baltimore tonight; so, since my gym is downtown, it should be fun!
