Day 69... Defying Gravity :)

Today was a good day all around. Fantastic workout, good on eating healthy, body fat measurement down, water intake really good and because of all of this my mood is up... plus as I type this my shipment of supplements from Bodybuilding.com has just arrived on my doorstep. :) It's like Christmas.

The gym was fantastic today. I did 10 minutes on the elliptical on level 18. Then I did some strength training and it felt awesome. I did 4 sets of 12 of each exercise. I did the weighted ab machine... I upped the weight on 3 of the rounds. I also did the chest press exercise, the tricep dip machine and the calf raise machine. Then I did the treadmill for 50 minutes that felt great as well. While on the treadmill I kept listening to the same song over and over... Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked. For some reason today that song had a lot of motivating power over me. I listened to the song 10 times... the full time I was on the treadmill. Usually I skip over that song it doesn't have a strong beat but for some reason today I didn't and I'm glad I didn't.


Tomorrow is total body and I'm not looking forward to burpees... I'm hoping to get in 4 or 5 rounds.

I have been eating every 2 hours today and been drinking a lot of water. I am 3 water bottles away from a gallon and a half today. That should be easy to get in.

So I decided to get my body fat measured again today and it was down 1.29%. I was excited to see the difference. It was motivating. I still have a long ways to go but at least I'm making progress.

Today I'm 2.4 lbs away from getting my pedicure!!! Yesterday I was 2.2 lbs away... that is a motivator to stop giving into the cravings for salty foods and animal crackers. I really need a pedicure. Plus I have 8 days to reach my goal of 190. I'm thinking that it is possible now. Just have to keep pushing myself forward and lay off the animal crackers.

Let the lbs melt!!!
