Friday/Saturday...

Friday was a pretty great day. Finally, after over a month of having this beautiful, orange, Nike swimsuit, that my sister got me to encourage my weight loss, IT FITS! lol Yay! I was pretty excited. I wore it to do laps at the pool after I finished my regular work out. To add to the happy day, I went and weighed myself and I lost TEN LBS! Victory! lol. This by far had to be my best workout day of the week. I increased weight on my dumbbell press and lunges by five pounds.

Its exciting to see all the changes happening. I am always amazed by how much of a difference can be made just from making small adjustments. Since I've spent the week trying new things I thought it'd be great to try a new recipe. I made stuffed eggplant and it was actually good! Here is a pic:

The recipe is super easy to follow.  One large eggplant makes four servings. At first, and I'll be honest lol, I planned to eat the whole half but its sooooo filling that I couldn't. lol.So I ended up sticking to the serving size.  The ingredients aren't too unhealthy. The worst thing in it was bread crumbs. Even then it didn't have that much and well you can always find a substitute.

Last night I set my alarm to wake up before 11am so that I could make it in time for the boot camp class at the gym. As usual, I was running a wee bit late. When I showed up I headed for the gymnasium to find a few people playing basketball. Apparently, the class has been changed to 9am on Saturdays and no one bothered to change the time on the online schedule. So annoying. Oh well, I got some Christmas shopping out of the way and bought a Christmas tree instead. Definitely plan to take Saturday off and recover from my busy week. However, tomorrow is another day and I'm gonna try out a Pilate's class at 4.

Finally, I have to retract a statement from my last blog...ugh...After much thinking I've decided that I'm gonna stick to spinning. The benefits outweigh the negatives by far. Especially since I always feel like I need to change it up in order to burn as many calories as possible. Its not a for sure yet but I'll try another class with less stinky people and see if I like it. Happy Workouts to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
