Skinny Mistie... here I come!

After eating pizza for dinner on Tuesday night, I knew that I really needed to step up my workout to counter-act the stuff I just put into my body. However, when I got to the Y on Wednesday, I was sluggish and didn't really feel like doing much of a workout. I didn't complete everything that I was planning on, but I did get a bit of a workout in. I did my regular routine on the bike (5/20/5) and the elliptical (15 @ 150 rpm) but I didn't get on the treadmill, nor did I do my walking lunges. Needless to say I felt guilty that I cheated myself out of getting healthy.

Today I went to the Y and yet again, I didn't complete my whole workout. I did my treadmill (5/15/5) but I happened to up it a little bit from my normal routine. Instead of doing a warm up and cool down at 2.7 and 0 incline and step it up to 3.1 and a 1% incline, I bumped it up a bit to a 3.1 and 0 incline w/u & c/d and a 3.5 and 1.5% incline. I, again, didn't do my walking lunges nor did I do the bike. I did, however, after lunch do my Slim in 6 "Start It Up" dvd. 24.49 minutes of squats, lunges, arm curls, push ups, crunches, obliques and more... and I was able to do it ALL!! Hahaha... although I did feel like I was going to pass out 5 minutes into it. It's amazing how energized I feel now though! I feel like I could go run a marathon!!! (ok, maybe not run... perhaps watch!) lol

As of Monday I am down 11 pounds. So to reward myself I am going to get a new haircut! I'm going to go for something drastic, cute, fun, yet easy to style. If I'm brave enough I'll post a picture of what I look like afterwards. I wonder if there is a hairstyle that can make a person look less "fluffy"? lol
