18 pounds and going strong!

Well, I am happy to announce I have officially lost 18 pounds since the start of my workout/diet plan in the beginning of March.  I am so thrilled I could just jump up and down (and I think I will since it is, after all, a workout!  :)) and I am not stopping here!!  I got a bike from my wonderful sister-in-law which I have used a ton since I got it just a week ago!  Yesterday I went on a 3.5 mile bike ride followed by 2.5 mile power walk/jog and then 75 crunches and leg lifts!  It was a great day, but I have had a hard time with food lately.  I cheated on Sunday and Monday of this week and then yesterday I had a cupcake...dangit!  It hurts to screw up when I am working so hard at working out, it just doesn't make the sweets worth it when it is followed by dreaded guilt!  :)  


Anyway, I am still truckin along and am nowhere near stopping!  As the weather gets warmer, I am going to start swimming and doing aqua fit exercises...it's so much fun and I feel that I'm pretty good at showing others how to do the different moves in the water.  It is such a great workout and you don't feel it near as much because you are in the water!  So when the heat of the summer really sets in, I will be pool bound at least a few times a week!  Let me know if you want to join or have a good pool to host these workouts occasionally!  


I just printed out this awesome article about a week-long arm workout with different exercises to maximize the lifting time and tone those arms!  I definitely need this to get rid of extra FLABBBB  but also it's good for summer-time toned arms for bathing suit season!  At this rate, I will be bikini bound by July baby!  :)  (JK, I'm too old for that!)  So now it's off to ebay or amazon.com to get some weights and a yoga mat!  


Thanks to all for reading and following along with my successes....it's a long road but I am definitely not falling off anytime soon and I would love some workout buddies so please hit me up if you are interested in meeting up!


Love to all my followers!
