Weekly Wrap-up - November 25, 2011

Overall weight lost: 62 lbs

Weight lost this week: 9 lbs (Woohoo!)

Work outs: Saturday - Off / Sunday - Off / Monday - Spin (50 mins) / Tuesday - Run & Walk (45 mins) Strength (10 mins) / Wednesday - Strength (75 mins) / Thursday - Off / Friday - Yoga (60 mins) & Run (42 mins)

Accomplishments: This weeks accomplishment has been to lose all the weight I gained on my two vacation. The first accomplishment was actually not putting on as much as I thought I might, and the second accomplishment was taking it off. This week has been an exercise in determination. I arrived home very late Friday night, and then Hubby and I started at 30 Day Cleanse on Saturday morning. This time, I have stuck to everything including the cleanse day! The results support my theory that if you put to weight on quickly, you can take it off quickly. I lost 4 lbs in the first day - talk about water retention!

Challenges: On Monday morning, I met up with a group of gal pals for my very first spin class. It was intense, but in the spirit of determination, I kept on and really pushed it. There were a few moments where I thought my quads were going to give out on me, but all in all, I really liked it! There's a spin class nearby on Monday nights, so I might bring hubby along and make it a weekday ritual once I get back to work in January.

Thoughts: As I was unpacking my latest Isagenix order, I browsed through the magazine that comes along with it. It reminded me again of the IsaBody Challenge. I am disappointed that hubby didn't participate in last year's competition given his amazing results, but I figure that I still have a chance. Unfortunately, all the weight I've lost so far won't count, but since I still have a lot of losing, toning and shaping left to do, I thought it might be a good motivator. What do you think?
