I was acutally nervous going in to the gym today! I was really hoping I would meet my goal of 2.5lbs this week. I got on the scale...and...159.2-- so 2lbs lost, which was 1/2 pound lower than I wanted, but that's okay, 2lbs is still really great! I will just have to make up for it this week to stay on track! The best news today was that since December 8th when I first met with my trainer, I've lost 2 inches off my waist and I decreased my body fat by 2%!!! Wooo hoo!!! That was pretty exciting! It's so great to see results. I'm so glad I took my measurements and body fat % in addition to my weight so that even when my weight isn't decreasing like I hope, I can still see progress. It's a great way to keep me motivated.
So I replaced my chair at my desk with a fitness ball. This is a grea way to burn extra calories. I can actually feel my back muscles being a little sore from it already! It'll be interseting to see how many more calories I burn. Even if I burn 1/2 more calorie per minute, that's 30 more calories per hour, times 4 hours at my desk= 120 more caloroies burned! It really is so easy with my bodybugg, makes it just a simple math equation.
Training today went good, ugh I did some crazy oblique exercise on the fitness ball-- it was rough, I'll get better at it though!
So this is a pic of my bodybugg graph to give you a visual of what I look at everyday... this is from Saturday when I did a crazy double workout:
