Rock Steady


No, your eyes do not deceive you (HA!), that's not me. That's Lzzy Hale, no "i", the lead singer of Halestorm. This. Chick. Rocks. HARD. When I listen to her music while pounding the elliptical machine or the treadmill I feel like she is my sister from another mister because we are both rocking steady! 

I feared for the worst this week. Let's see, there were 2 Thanksgiving dinners, Mexican food, and a big fat steak from Outback last week. Ah, yes, there was also the delicious Christmas brunch that we had at work this week. I tried making up for it at the gym, but there is only so much I can squeeze into one day. In fact, I was only able to make it to the gym 3 days this week. I did mix up my workout a little by cutting my time on the elliptical down from 30 minutes to 20 minutes and I hopped on the treadmill for 25 minutes before hitting the weights. I'm sure you all get tired of me saying "I didn't think I would have good results this time" every week, so I'll try not to say that in every post! Seriously though, considering all of the junk that I ate over the last 10 days, I really thought that I would gain weight or sit at 241 lbs. With one eye open, I peered at the scale this morning...

239 lbs. Um, WHAT?! Yes, 239 lbs! That's down 2 lbs from last week, down a total of 29 lbs, and 40 lbs away from my goal of weighing 199 lbs by June 18th! I honestly had to get on the scale 3 or 4 times and put my glasses on before my eyes would believe what they were seeing! I'm almost halfway there you guys! I did the math and in order for me to achieve my goal I need to lose 1.6 lbs each week until my birthday. That is totally doable and I've never felt more motivated! 

Hopefully I will continue to rock steady, just like my girl, Lzzy. Thank you all for you unfailing love and support! Enjoy my awkward selfie below!
