I'm down another pound 175. It may not be much but this makes two weeks with a loss which is more than it's been in a while. Slow and steady that's just he way it is for me.
This week has been pretty good Sunday I did a 5k run before the hubs went to work,
and Monday I was planning on going to the gym, but when I got home it was so darn hot and as I looked out the sliding glass door to the backyard I yelled at DQ to get her suit on and we played in the pool for almost two hours, and I mean play, no lounging in the sun that day. I did a lot of stuff we do in aqua like running, wall explosions, jack and what ever elseI could remember.
Yesterday I totally stepped out of my comfort zone and hit up a Pilates class at my gym. I met the teacher at a body pump class I took and I loved her teaching style (turns out she's a math teacher by day maybe that's why) she really took the time to make sure we were doing the lifts right and giving the more advanced class goers some hints on how to improve or tweak it to really get the most out of the class.
She and mentioned she also teaches Pilates I've always wanted to try it so I went. I really want to say I loved it, but I don't think it's for me. Maybe before surgery I would have enjoyed it or could do it but it is all core work and some moves it felt like my abs were going to rip apart... So I won't be doing that again Maybe I'll try yoga? Though Pilates wasn't for me I was happy I did a little something to step out of my comfort zone.

Another thing I did this weekend that was WAY out of my comfort zone was to put on an actual bikini!! Yes you heard that right. I was a little nervous which was funny because it was on Sunday when it was just the Hubs and DQ. But I haven't worn a bikini in over 15 years. I just thought, I have worked hard to lose weight, Carrie had given me one as a hand me down and damn my belly is white. So in all my whitness and imperfections here it is.
wow look at the difference my poor belly needs to see the sun!
What have you done to step out of your comfort zone??
