Wait for it...Wait for it...

I didn't go to my pole class tonight. I have a few excuses up my sleeve, but excuses are like butt holes. Everyone has them, and they all stink. :)

My next scheduled class is Tuesday morning. My goal is to get my ass out of bed and make it to the class. I need to be smart about paying $116 a month to work out.

Softball tomorrow night...let's see if I can stay at #1 batting average this week. :) Seriously, this surprises the crap out of me. I was one of the weakest batters in fast pitch softball during my high school years. I guess I just need more time to swing.

Wow.

I can apply that to a lot of things in my life...

I do

Okay, I need to step up the commitment.

My weight loss over the last 7 weeks has been due to the unknown. Well, at first the pole classes were helping out, but for the last 3 weeks, I haven't been to a pole class. So I'm not sure why I've lost weight. I don't think my eating habits have changed at all.

I'm going to quit being a weenie and get back to 4 pole classes a week plus my softball games on Mondays...starting with the hardest of all of my pole classes that is tomorrow night. Diana is ruthless. I'm crossing my fingers that she doesn't bring up superman push-ups. Uck.

I will make good choices when we go grocery shopping for next week. Patrick can eat what he's going to eat. I need to bring more veggies to the table. And somehow Diet Coke snuck into my diet. How dumb is that? No more bubbly drinks. Or nasty chemicals. :)

The next several weight updates need to be grounded, solid, and earned.

****P.S. I'm #1 of the women in our co-ed league for batting average! How freaking awesome is that?!?!****

Slowly creeping down...

...the scale, that is. :)

I've been losing 1 lb a week for the last 2-3 weeks. I attribute this to pole classes and lots of stress. Hopefully the stress is being better managed (time will tell), and hopefully that doesn't result in weight gain. I'm weird - sometimes when I'm stressed and depressed, I'm a huge eater. And on the other hand, sometimes I totally lose my appetite. So, it's hard to predict what's going to happen.

I haven't been to pole classes for about a week, though. Too much crap going on in life. I'm planning on going to the Cardio Cabaret class tomorrow morning. That class always kicks my butt.

Brandi, you totally make me want to get out and start running. I'd be freaking excited to do a 5K! (and not die) Yet, I just can't find enough desire to put on my running shoes and go outside! There's even a perfect park to run around right by me. What helps people to make the initial jump (or first stride, if you will) into running??
