Highest Weight Ever... today.

So I was startlingly right.
The scale said 190.1.
I was so amazed that I checked a few times.
It's the first time I've been this big, ever!
This is truly my last chance.
Because if I don't do something now, I'm well on my way to 200+.
And I canNOT let that happen.

So Monday, yesterday, I did get up early (5:20am) and go to the gym.
I was expecting a Body Pump class.
But what I got was 30 min Pump, and 30 min Body Attack!
Yikes!
I avoid Body Attack like the plague. I'm much too big to be giggling around the gym, jumping and going crazy.
But I did it!
And I was proud.
And now I am sore.

But that is the reason the scale went up 2 lbs today.
It always goes up like that after the "first" work-out after time away.

But now the good news: That means I only need to go down to 188.5 or so by next Tuesday (which, I suppose, will be my weekly weigh-in day.)
That's not too hard since I've been hovering at 188-189 for months and months and months.
It's the 186 that will be hard to get to.
That requires:
actual hard work,
actual dedication,
consistent training,
appetite control,
and healthy food choices.

I use to be good at all that.
And I know how.
It's just the actual doing it.

So here's my plan for week 1:
Exercise.
Baby steps.
No crazy jumping in the deep end.
Just small adjustments.
And because my gym is offering a 6-week challenge, I'll focus on that this week.
If I go to 28 group fitness classes before the end of May, I'll go in the draw to win free membership for three months.
That's like winning $250.
I could use that!
Plus you get the added bonus of transforming your body (inevitable for anyone doing 28 classes in 6 weeks!)

So that means I have to do 1 class each day, and 1 over the weekend.
Today, I have to do the Body Pump class (again) because that's the only time I can go.
Tomorrow... I'm gonna be sore.
And I'm gonna be one step closer to fit.
