Oh the torture....

So it's been ahile and the diet is not going so hot. I'm trying, honestly, and I think I have new motivation. We're going to the beach again soon! Wohoo! In a few long months I'll get to go back to Destin, lay on the beach, drink too much, eat too much, and shop too much. So here's my game plan. Between now and May I plan to lose 10 pounds. Doesn't sound too hard right? That's like 2.5 pounds a month. I could do that in my sleep! Well at least that's what I tell myself. Doesn't always happen that way though. So my trainer has decided that I need to spice up my cardio routine. I just think I need a routine, and a good workout buddy. I'm accepting applications. The hubs does ok, when he goes. He's a busy man so sometimes I have to be my own motivation and belive me that's hard. So this week I will have successfully been to do cardio 4 times. That's about 2 more times than the average week and I am SORE! Last weekend my trainer introduced me to the bike. Not the kind that you kick back and read a magazine while you pedal bike, this is the sit up and sweat it out Lance Armstrong type bike. Goal: 8 miles in 30 minutes. Check! I have one of these go-getter attitudes that you tell me I can do this and I will go above and beyond. My first time I did 9.30 miles so now he's decided I should do 10 miles. Last night I did 9.5 and that was where I was spinning so fast I thought the bike was going to sprout wheels and ride away with me. But...I finished and felt accomplished! Tonight, we take it easy. So I get home last night and do some relaxation yoga on the Wii to wind down from all that cardio and lo and behold I have lost 1.8lbs! Wohoo!!! Then it tells me I only have 22 more lbs to go to my goal. Hopefully, my Biggest Loser cookbook will be here soon and we can kickstart our diet plan!
