If anger or frustration can be a motivator, I say "bring it on!" Yes, I got on the *%$#@&% scale this morning and saw 180 again! What's up with that? I did well okay on the food plan last week (except for that little snack of chocolate that one time!) and I did exercise at least 4 days, but apparently it's not enough. So, I'm getting mean, now!
This morning, I pulled out the big guns... the Power 90 (Tony Horton's) workout. This was the original one, the old one, the one apparently for aged, slug-like people like me...not the P90 or the P90X. No way I'm going there any time soon. The Power 90 workout is a DVD set we picked up (thanks, Alanna!) that has cardio, abs, and strength training workouts to choose from. Lots of variety of movement and it's easy to adjust to my beginners level. Today, I did Cardio/Abs, Level 1-2, for 45 minutes. I managed to actually get through it, modified some the exercises a bit, but stayed with it. With 40 extra pounds on my body, just moving it at this pace provides enough challenge and resistance (me vs. gravity!) without having to add weights, etc.
My intent is to try to do this five days this week, and maybe some walking with The Cowboy on the side. I'm going to eat what I'm supposed to eat, drink my water (I'm really doing this very well), and see what happens. I'm also going to try to get some swimming in somewhere this week! Oh, and did I mention dancing??? I love to dance...always have. I may have found an opportunity here in the area. Stay tuned...this could be interesting!
