I'm Baaaaacccckkkk

So, what did I gain, besides a few pounds, during the week I was missing? Well, I found out that I actually have readers following the blog! Several people asked me over the course of the week where in the heck I was and why wasn't I blogging. EXCITING!



I admit, I was a huge slacker this past week. There is no good explanation except for a lame excuse. And we all know what I think of excuses. So rather than go into details about why I was missing, let's just talk about how I'm going to get back on track.



Last week I was doing a little retail therapy. It wasn't a huge therapy session, due to the numerous "gotta save for this and gotta save for that" items. I was only treating myself to a $10 splurge. Those who know me know that I always have to get the best bang for the buck. I HATE the feeling of wasting money and some might say that I'm a little obsessed with finding the best deal out there. So, I was wondering through the rows of Target wondering what I was going to spend my $10 on. I found myself looking through the fitness section (curses) and found one of those cool metal water bottles that seem to be the latest rage, but that was $19.99 and above my retail therapy splurge level. So, I looked around some more and low and behold, guess what I found? The workout DVD section (double curses). Naturally, I zone in on one of Jillian Michaels DVDs (beings she and I are like BFFs now, well atleast through the DVD player at 5:00 a.m.). So, I picked up a copy of her Fat Blasting and Metabolism Boosting DVD and took it home and promptly put it on my shelf to collect dust....until this morning.



Honestly, the workout wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was still pretty challenging. The one thing that I was bummed about was that it didn't include pushups...at all. And dang it, I was starting to get pretty proud of myself for the increasing reps I've been able to do.



It feels good to be back on track! I spent a better portion of Saturday researching and comparing honeymoon sites. Beings the clock is ticking and I probably only have 10 months max until Operation Honeymoon, I can't waste a day...and note to self...no more feel sorry for yourself weeks. Uggg..the meeting with Mr. Scale this morning was not nice!



Oh, one quick thing before I sign off. After I finished the workout this morning, I was going through the bonus section of the dvd. In this section, there was an advertisement for http://www.exercisetv.tv/, so I decided to check it out (it said there would be free downloads). So, I go to the site and the first thing I see is a workout by the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. LOL Oh my...not sure if I'll try that one, but I sure got a giggle out of it!
