Week Three

Saturday, Sunday & Monday
I decided to treat myself to an unhealthy lunch on Saturday.  I've been such a good girl for two weeks!  I paid for it on Sunday, however, as the scale went right back up!

I wasn't very happy with my weight loss last week, and after stepping on the scale today (Monday) to see I've put on 1/2 a pound, I've decided to change up my exercising this week.  I want to loose more, so I need to exercise more; plain and simple.

Years ago I got an exercise tape from a man named Gilad, famous for his ESPN show Bodies In Motion.  Last time I lost a ton of weight, I used his tape and did really well.  It's a very difficult, and LONG 45 minutes, but since it's proven very effective for me in the past, I'm going to try it again.

What doesn't kill me will make me stronger, right?  And it might even speed up my weight loss!

TUESDAY
Well, Gilad didn't kill me, however, I did have to slow down a few times.  Great thing is that I felt wonderful when I was done, and when I stepped on the scale today, success:  not only did I loose the 1/2 pound I put on, but another two ounces on top of that....almost a full pound!  Up to 6.2 pounds lost so far!

I am so excited to see the scale finally go down again, I can't wait to use that video again today!

(Later Tuesday)
I am craving chocolate SO BADLY right now!  I want cookies, cake, ANYTHING chocolate!!!  I hate this part of trying to loose weight!

WEDNESDAY
Stepped on the scale today and almost fell over....1.5 pounds down!  I am 2 ounces from 8 pounds lost in three weeks! 

It's looking like the change in my exercise regimen is working since the weight is dropping again:  or my body just woke up from the slumber it was in last week!  Either way, I will take it!

Check out my Wordless Wednesday post to learn how I expressed my chocolate craving!

THURSDAY & FRIDAY
Thursday I put 1/2 a pound back on, and today (Friday), I'm back up to 7 pounds lost.  So, I put the 1.5 pounds I lost on Wednesday back on.  Oh well, my loss for the week is still 1 pound, and I'll take it, even though I'm bummed about it!

Who Sings It Better?

Popular in the 1980s, Christopher Cross sang the theme song for the movie Arthur, (The Best That You Can Be), along with the following song, Sailing.

This has always been one of my favorite songs, but it was released in 1986, before I really knew anything about music.  Years later, it took me a long time to discover who sang this.  I was SO excited when I did!







Next up, a version by NSYNC.  This video is completely cheesy, so try to listen to the song and block out the fact that they're flying through the air!






When I went searching for a cover of this song, I didn't expect to find one that I actually LIKE! 

Which version do I prefer?  This is actually a tough call.  I would probably like the NSYNC version better if they weren't flying through the air, and just singing the song.  JC does a fantastic job singing this song.  (Oh, and the only reason I know his name is because of the comments on YouTube!  This boy band was a little past my time!)  That being said, it's a great cover!

However, Christopher Cross will win for me, every single time!

So, who sings it better?

27 Hours To Go!

Until what happens, you might wonder?  Well, until my 6 month wait for my very favorite show on the planet (tied with NCIS, but man, sometimes this one wins!) to FINALLY return with new episodes.  That's right, Burn Notice premieres tomorrow!

I know, I'm a dork, and a little crazy, but who cares?!?

Measurement Update

Last week I didn't take my measurements since I'd only been exercising for one week.  Last night, I gave it a try and almost fell over.

Chest:  one inch less (really, that's OK!!)

Waist:  down TWO inches....I know, I can't believe it either!

Hips:  down 1/2 an inch.  Wish that was more, since my hips are the reason I can't fit into my clothes, but I will take it!

Woo, Hoo!  Here we go, week three!
