So it's been about 6 months that I reached my goal weight of 150. In those six months I actually got down all the way to 141.6. And since then I have gained about 11 pounds. In fact last week's weigh in had me at 154.4. For anyone who may be wondering what is going on here it goes: Initially my goal weight was 160, but then I changed it to 150. When I got all the way down to 141 I realized that I didn't want to get so low below 150. Although my goal is 150 I want to be able to give myself about 5 pounds on either side of that and not freak out. And I haven't slacked off on exercising, around the end of May and through out the summer I have added a lot of Zumba (I started with a couple classes a week and now I go to about 10 a week) to my exercise routine and gone up from using 7 pound dumbbells to 9 pound dumbbells. So I'm kinda thinking the extra weight is some muscle, the girls at the gym say my arms look fabulous! I have done three 5ks, the Powder Run in July, the Glow Run in August, and The Zombie Obstacle Fest in October. This Saturday I'm getting ready to do another one; The Wicked Wine Run (you get wine at the end of the race)! In case you are wondering about my eating, I haven't gone off the rails completely, but I'm not as strict as I was when I was trying to lose all the weight. Last but not least last week was a huge week for me. I got two certifications: Group Fitness and my Zumba instructor certification! I'm at point in my life where I can say with all certainty that this is the healthiest and happiest I have ever been. I hope y'all have a great Monday! Keep up the good work!!!
