Weigh-In Wednesday

Hiya! I did weigh in last night, but my internet was down so I had to wait until I got to work this morning to post this. Unfortunately, I was right about the whole "most of that is water weight" thing, because I gained 4 pounds this week... BUT, that means that I have still lost a total of 4.6 pounds, which is awesome! And it meets my healthy-weight-loss goal of losing 1-2 pounds per week. : )

This Week: +4

Total: -4.6

Total Weeks: 2

Avg. Per Week: -2.3

I was sick most of last week, so I didn't eat or drink much... which is why I figured that huge loss was just water weight. Being sick also kept me from the gym though, so I was a little worried about that. I can't remember if I mentioned it on here, but I joined Curves around the end of December. I really love it there! For those of you who aren't familiar, it's a women-only gym that utilizes a... well, here, I'll just copy the description from their website:

I love it because it gives me a great workout in only 30 minutes! Plus the women there are super friendly! : ) AND they recently began incorporating Zumba into their workouts, which I was very excited about! I've enjoyed it so much that I went and got the new Wii Zumba game:

I've done it two nights in a row, and it's been really fun! It's pretty fast-paced, so it takes me a few tries to get the moves right sometimes, but it definitely gives me a good sweat! It was offered as just the game or the game and a belt that holds your Wii remote. I had planned on purchasing just the game, but they only had the one with the belt in stock, so I went ahead and got it. It was an extra $20... not sure if it's worth it if you have the choice. The belt catches most of my movements, but during the cool down at the end of the workout, I usually take the remote and hold it, because there are a lot of arm movements that aren't picked up while it's in the belt...

I plan on doing the Wii Zumba every day, on top of my Curves visits. I may wait until I finish my antiobiotic to go back to Curves, so I'm glad I have something to do in the meantime! : )
