Still Going Strong.

Yup. I'm still pluggin' away with my weight loss goal. I think I'm going to make it! That is, if my body keeps losing like it is. I really really hope I don't plateau.

Have I mentioned how terrified I am of failing at this? Yeah. Terrified.

But I accidentally watched Studio 5 on KSL today (accidentally because I've taken to keeping KSL/NBC on almost all day, for whenever the olympics come on...) and they introduced some awesome arm exercises that I have fallen in love with! I tried them out this morning and LOVE them. The "power curls" just about killed me, and the pretzel is deadly. But awesome. Here's the link to the instructions if any of you are interested...


Cause seriously. I've been walking, and doing pilates, and cutting some calories. But arms? Beyond how much they are "worked" in pilates (which does help the arms, don't get me wrong), I haven't really focused on them. 

Oh yeah. At the end of the pilates DVD I use, they do the "pilates push-ups." I hate them. Wanna know why? Because my arms are weak. Which is a bummer. Because they used to be super tough in high school.  But now--with these exercises? Boo.Yah. Y'all better brace yourselves, because I'm about to get the buffest arms in the world!

I also accidentally (same reason as above...) saw Rachael Ray make a delicious-looking Steak and Eggs recipe which I will have to try now. I'll let you know how it goes. :)

I just turned the TV off. I don't want to accidentally watch the news about a woman who was murdered. Nuff said.

exciting about the arm exercises you found. yoga is also a great thing to do to get those arm muscles strong!

Ooooh. I believe it. I'm a bit scared of yoga, honestly. I haven't been successfully flexible since, oh... elementary school? Is it true that you don't need to be flexible to do it???

Congratulations, you're on a roll! Do you like pilates? I've never tried it, but I've heard good things.

LOVE pilates. You can feel it working all over, and then afterwards you feel energized, not exhausted. Which I love.

you go girl! Thats awesome you are doing so great! I've done good on all my goals EXCEPT working out.

tip for the olympics: nbcolympics.com has TV schedule where you can enter your zip code and it shows when the olympics will be on your tv. its awesome, because i hate having the tv on all day!

Ah. Genius. I think I found that once. But then I realized it varies each day, and was too "lazy" to check. You know, cause it would take so much effort.
