Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 58 and Thoughts on adding extra Cardio to your week.

I am so determined to get this weight off, I started my day at the Hall today. Most of my HR team had not seen me in a while and mentioned they noticed a difference.  Keep it coming ladies, I can't hear it too often! 

There was a birthday celebration for one of my team members.  There was the most delicious "looking" carrot cake and lots of fruit.  When I told my boss the carrot cake only sounded more healthy than the chocolate cake he gave me a friendly jester that confirmed he knew I was right!  LOL  We also chatted about sweet potato chips, zucchini chips and other recipes.  Kind of cool that he is into all the healthy eating too.

Sunday and Monday I was up in weight compared to my Saturday morning weigh in.  I have come to expect that though.  I thought to myself, I have a lot of exercise planned this week it will have no where else to go but away!  The little metal box was kind to me today though, down a pound from the Saturday workout!      I knew it had to start turning around.

I was so stressed by the end of the day today.  The old me would have gone home, had dinner and a couple glasses of wine while spending the rest of the evening on the couch.  The new me thought about the red wine and got changed into my workout gear and headed to meet Glenda at Zumba.  

It was my first Zumba class ever.  It was really good exercise and an excellent way to add cardio to my weekly fitness routine.  I had a really hard time following all the moves but it really was great exercise in any event.  There was a lot of arm and leg work, exactly were the muscles were worked at Team Fitness on Sat and Sun.  It worked well on my stress too.  We invited the instructor to join our boot camp at Team Fitness, she might just do that!

Losing weight is not an easy journey but for anyone out there wondering what to do you need to know if I can do this you can too.  I have tried and failed so many times.  Being part of this challenge has been what I needed and now I feel like I am going to go all the way.
