Week Seventeen – Double Standards

This week marks my 4-month anniversary and I’m happy to report that I’ve lost almost 50 pounds - well 49 to be exact!

So far (for those of you keeping score) I’ve worked out for 97 hours, burned a little over 82,000 calories and have taken 45 Zumba Classes. Damn, just writing that makes me tired!

Seeing the finish line approaching (Vegas Baby), I’ve decided to workout with Justin three times a week now instead of just once on Saturday mornings. Although sometimes exhausting, I’m really hope doing these double workouts will pay off. I guess you can say I have to step it up if I want to double down!

It’s not just on Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays that I am working out for two hours – I’m trying to fit in extra workouts wherever I can:

10/09 30 minutes on the bike; 692 calories burned
10/09 30 minutes on the elliptical; 396 calories burned
10/09 30 minutes of weights; 363 calories burned
10/10 3 mile walk at Memorial; 791 calories burned
10/10 30 minutes on the bike; 692 calories burned
10/10 30 minutes on the elliptical; 396 calories burned
10/11 Commit To Fit, One Hour; 1091 calories burned
10/11 Zumba class for an hour; 838 calories burned
10/13 Zumba class for an hour; 838 calories burned
10/13 Commit To Fit, One Hour; 1091 calories burned
10/14 3 mile walk at Hermann; 791 calories burned
10/14 30 minutes on the elliptical; 396 calories burned
10/14 30 minutes of weights; 363 calories burned
10/15 Zumba class for an hour; 838 calories burned
10/15 Commit To Fit, One Hour; 1091 calories burned

Although I have no idea who won the Commit To Fit contest last month, I do know it’s working. Not only have I proven to myself and I guess others too that I am committed; I can really tell that I’m getting stronger… and I guess that's the closest thing to a sure bet!
