Weigh In: Week 2

I'm posting this late because Patrick and I had to do our measurements very late last night after I got home from work. But then we were about the same on all the measurements so ... go figure. We also forgot to take our "WW" pictures....we suck at this blogging business.

Time to hit the scales. I'm really nervous for this week because of Saturday night. The thing is, I feel great. I worked out a lot last week, so I feel toned and strong.

So. Let's talk about this. I'm obviously up and Patrick is down, which is really hard to take because we almost had the same weekend. Because he's a guy, the weight still comes off, whereas I have to be very vigilant and can. not. cheat. at. all. The weekend was definitely worth it, so I'm trying not to be too hung up on it. I work this week, too, so that makes it a little easier for me to stay on track. 

Also! And I'm not trying to give myself excuses, but I worked out every single day last week and did a LOT of strength training. Doesn't muscle weigh more than fat or something? ;) 
But really, I did weights Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Tuesday and Thursday being 45 minutes of the "Get Strong" circuits on my Nike Training Club app on my phone. 

Speaking of the NTC app, it's really cool and helpful, and it's FREE! You choose your workout: Get Lean, Get Toned, Get Strong, Get Focused. then choose a workout from there that's either 15 min, 30 min, or 45 min long. The more time you log, the more "Rewards" you get! I got a bunch of smoothie recipes in the beginning! 

Get Lean is a bunch of cardio circuits. Get Toned mixes up cardio with some weights. Get Strong has heavier weights and less repetitions. Get Focused is a bunch of quick, 15 minute workouts that target a specific area of your body. After you choose your fate, the app syncs up with your music and you have a lady telling you what to do. And she gives you encouragement and stuff, like, "Time to dig deep!" and "You can do it!" Sometimes, when I'm really sweating and breathing hard, I'm like, "Shut up, LADY! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!" but most of the time, it's nice to have SOMEone encouraging me. 

If you don't know how to do a workout, they have videos of extremely fit and toned girls showing you how to do it. Those Nike girls are inspiration enough! 

Here's to hoping that next week's weigh-in is better than this one for me! I'm not giving up, just going to work harder!
