Victoria's Secret REVEALED!

I'm happy to report that I was able to go for a walk this morning. My ankle is feeling so much better and I will be back kickboxing in no time.

I want to send a special thanks to my good friend Theresa for sending me a bunch of really helpful exercises that don't require a functioning ankle. I wanted to share a couple of my favorites:

I really liked this one because I've always wondered what Victoria's secret was and why she was so popular. Now I get it. I haven't tried this yet but I really can't wait to try. Tomorrow I want to add some spice to my walk since I don't want to run on my ankle just yet so Victoria's sweat makers ought to work nicely.  Ben also hooked up my Wii so I can finally try the Zumba game I got for Christmas 2 years ago and still haven't tried it.

The Pop Pilates looks cool too. These are the kinds of exercises that I was doing last week but I didn't know I was all cool and Pilates like. I don't think I'd be doing them on a beach unless it was my own private beach but I can just think warm thoughts while spreading my legs in various positions.

The other tip that Theresa sent that I have tried and I do LOVE are these exercises that make me feel like I'm a synchronized swimmer out of water. I think in another life that would have been a calling for me but I guess I'll just settle for pretending.

I feel a little dirty not confessing that I had a brownie at a weekend bar-b-q..... and that wouldn't really be that bad except that I had that for lunch... and a piece of blueberry pie for dessert... and maybe an apple something that was incredibly delicious and sinful. I went a little overboard and it made me realize that social events like that are my complete weakness because I love trying all kinds of food that everyone brings. I was so happy about my self control at Amy's wedding but all the willpower I had then was totally gone at this weekend's party. I even ate before I went so I would be satisfied and not tempted. Clearly that didn't work out and I need to find a way to play it like I'm back in the D.A.R.E program and "Just say no."

I need to work it off this week though so that is the goal for all of my routines this week. Theresa also suggested this awesome website that has mixes for runners. When I get board I have a new resource to turn to for motivation. I'm pretty psyched about that.

Last week was the week that I would have just stopped all of my changes and gone back to my old routines. That's what my history of this weight loss thing has told me. I just keep telling myself that I need to keep going. I keep telling myself, think where you'd already be if you'd have kept going the last time you wanted to quit. And it is working. I just have to keep going.... and say no to brownies...
