Quick update since I've been busy busy with family here.

I've been successful at working out 3 out of 4 days this long weekend. I hit the Elliptical, the gym with my sister and the Elliptical again. I slacked on my weights and sit-ups but am proud to say I am maintaining my weight this holiday season and am excited to get back into things and keep losing.

At the gym, my sister introduced me to some interval training. We did the treadmill and spent 2 minutes warming up at a 2 incline, then we increased the incline to 4 for two minutes, then back to a 2 for two minutes, then a 6 for two minutes, then a 2 for two minutes, and so on. That process took about 20 minutes, so then we ran for a few minutes pretty fast and then did a few minutes of cool down. I liked the idea so much I tried in out on the Elliptical and really liked it. I think it will be a cool way to switch things up once in a while.

I plan to head back to aquafit with my friend as well as increase my classes at the gym starting tomorrow.

On a sweeter note, I ate half a piece of cheesecake, some cinnamon buns, two cookies and a few lattes this weekend. (shame) . At least I tried to control portion sizes for the most part and had a really good time.

However I can really feel the difference in my energy level, my appetite and my waist line. Although my weight is being maintained my belly feels a little less tight, my muscles are loose and unworked and the more sweets and treats I eat, the more I want. It's strange how if you avoid crap food for a while, your body starts to forget what it is like and how good it is and it becomes easier and easier to keep at it. But one weekend of goodies and I'm back to being Hungy Audrey and thinking about what I could munch on.

My goal for the rest of this week: Resist and Persist
Weight Today: 169
Workout: 25 minutes of cardio
Feeling: indulged yet still inspired.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
