Me, Em & Lisa worked out Wed for Day 3... I felt stronger and made it through the ENTIRE floor work w your legs- even though they BURNED like they were going to FALL OFF!!! (thats the idea right!?!)
I didnt work out Thurs (bad day and had lunch w a friend instead) or today (leaving early for a wedding so I couldnt take a lunch) but I'm going to shoot for Sat, Sun & Monday this weekend at home! THat will mean i skipped 2 days (thurs/fri) but still get in 5 this week. (and kick start next week w Monday's workout)
I'll be taking pics on Tues morning after the weigh in (guess that means I'll put on the same outfit again... man I wish I would have chosen one I liked better!! lol) and HOPEFULLY I'll be able to maintain and even lose this wkd even WITH the weddings, the birthdays and the dinners!!! UGH! the food thing is TOTALLY the hardest part!! Pushing play is getting easier and easier... but its still hard to resist desserts and other "comfort foods" like CHEESE!!
BUT I found some cute older clothes last night and really want to be able to wear them with style... so I'm gonna work hard!! This weekend will really be a test!! :)
Ok I'm out till prob Tuesday!
Hope everyone has as much fun this weekend as I know I will!! I LOVE weddings and Birthdays and Days off!!! :)

Week 4, Day 2
I know these are boring... "I worked out- I'm tired- its worth it- yay me"....
But i need someplace to be accountable and to track progress... thats why i started this blog in the first place...
Em and I did Burn it Up again today. Have I mentioned lately what a GODSEND it is that she wants to workout with me every day at lunch?? Its good to get to hang out w someone else and work hard together!
Today was her first time doing BIU and both of us were sweating WAY more than in the other 2 videos! Wow.
We did miss the more intense Abs from RIU and so we've discussed doing the 8 min ab workout on a "break" towards the end of the day every day... not sure if that will happen or not.
Gotta be honest- today - after last week of still doing the hr workout 5 days but eating badly and then gaining weight... i'm concerned about how the next 2 weeks will affect everything I've been working on. This weekend there are weddings and birthdays and then next Friday I leave for PERU for 10 days. Obviously wont be able to get in an hour workout...but hopefully we'll walk a lot and I'll burn calories that way... and maybe I'll have put in enough* work that my muscles will keep burning stuff for me.
We're over the 1/2way point of this program and have done a decent job at following it and trying to make changes in food (not the BEST by any means) and still haven't seen the results I want (though I know- it took me a while to get to this point, its gonna take a while to reverse it). I'm gonna be as serious as possible about it all till Peru. (which prob means only a BITE of cake at the wedding and bday party instead of a PIECE... boo!!! :( so sad!)
Anyway- for now- i'll just keep pushing PLAY!

Week 4, Day 1
Today Em and I started BURN IT UP. Unfortunately i have an older version of this workout- and its obvious in the quality. I think I'll be writing a letter to Beach Body letting them know.
Well we were only about 10 min in when Em started feeling sick at her stomach. She ended up having to go home early- leaving me to finish the workout on my own. HOWEVER- at least we STARTED together... bc I think i wouldn't have done it if I'd had to go down there by myself. I have to admit- I didnt' give it 100%... I felt like bailing multiple times... just bc the moves are a little different (i think its bc we're using the newer versions of SIU and RIU and the older version of BIU)
Anyway- the workout is pretty tough... but some stuff- like the abs- almost seemed easier to me. The floorwork w the legs is HARD HARD HARD and I felt the BURN pretty bad! But what I like about it is that you KNOW its GOTTA be doing something-if it hurts that bad- right?!
It was kinda hard to be motivated to workout after the wkd of not eating well and then gaining on the weigh in this week. BUT i have to believe that this is doing SOMETHING... bc I'm doing stuff that I've not done consistently in... well... ever!!
So as frustrating as it is to not be able to see changes on the scales or on the tape measure weekly after givign up my lunch hour and working my little booty off, I'm committed till the end of this biggest loser business is over! I'm NOT giving up! And even after that... this is about lifestyle changes... and they won't happen overnight.
I'm worn out and have to get through the last 2 hrs of work... but PTL that I dont have to do this at night after putting Nate to bed!
