And again my sister & her hubby were there! I think I might have new gym buddies! I'm excited too because her husband is all about lifting and I am hoping he can come up with a good weight routine for me to do. I haven't done any weights so far and know that it would definitely benefit me to add those to my workout routine. <br /> <br />So last night I was watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and just thinking to myself how stinking' skinny those girls looked and then I read <a href="http://fiftyeightdaychallenge.blogspot.com/2008/12/day-15.html">"Fifty Eight Day Challenge's" post</a> this morning...kinda ironic! It's sad that those are the images that young girls are trying to replicate in themselves. But for some reason for me it just makes me want to work that much harder to get into shape. So I think there's two sides to it. On the news they were talking about it and how it is such a bad image for girls to look up to, but then someone else pointed out that a huge portion of our country is overweight....interesting point! And these girls are also more "curvy" than traditional runway models. So what do you think? <br /> <br />So I just realized this last night, 1 c of cucumbers are 0 points!! I was pretty excited, I've been counting it as 1 point this whole time! (just thought I would share that!) <br /> <br />I really am not able to see the difference yet in how I look 13.5 lbs lighter, but I've gotten 2 comments in the past day. One from my sister last night at the gym, she said "Your face is really starting to look a lot thinner" and then a co-worker (who doesn't know I'm trying to lose weight) stopped by my office and said "Darci you look really skinny today, are you losing weight?". It's great to hear those comments, really makes all the time & effort worth it! I just can't wait till I can see the difference. <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoD5c68Wi6gQILI599cbPvMN7LJmux_L3Ar_BFr1CaKcrdEEyouYSUWCl0nmZlRSpotC3-dqwyRMkjyCKymf0HVELHbtGE4AD4fxyGXb_kQKdR6btBgh398Qnci9Po_YOIrw9igcxnGXOz/s1600-h/marieantonette.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276331629610684306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoD5c68Wi6gQILI599cbPvMN7LJmux_L3Ar_BFr1CaKcrdEEyouYSUWCl0nmZlRSpotC3-dqwyRMkjyCKymf0HVELHbtGE4AD4fxyGXb_kQKdR6btBgh398Qnci9Po_YOIrw9igcxnGXOz/s320/marieantonette.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 116px; height: 150px;" /></a> <br /><div style="text-align: left;"><meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12"></div><div style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5Ctemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><link rel="themeData" href="file:///C:%5Ctemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx"><link rel="colorSchemeMapping" href="file:///C:%5Ctemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml"><style> <style>  </style><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"  >which honors people writing about their real lives</span><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"  >.

I only have a 1/2 day at work today (can't tell you why yet though!) and so I knew I could get a longer workout in this afternoon. And to my surprise my sister & her husband just joined the same gym I go to. So it will be great to work out together! I need to be better about getting all my points in for the day...that's my goal for tomorrow...eat 24 points! <br /> <br />Last night at WW they were talking about moving more and ways to change or make your workout more appealing. I decided that my goal is for 2009 to sign up for a cardio kickboxing class. It is something I've always wanted to do and so I'm just going to do it! It was fun to hear the ideas. A lot of people seem to use the Wii Fit. I haven't tried it yet, but my sister has it so I am hoping to try her's out sometime. Have any of you tried this? What do you think? <br /> <br /><p style="text-align: center;">I entered <a href="http://ronisweigh.com/2008/12/mary-lous-weigh-platform.html">the Mary  Lou's Weigh Platform Giveaway</a>! <br />Check out <a href="http://ronisweigh.com/">Roni’s Weight Loss Blog</a> for more  information.</p> <br />Here is a picture I found of a "Cross Ramp". I think it is similar to the elliptical, but you can make your strides longer and your arms don't move. I think it's similar to a stair machine too...but the gym I go to does not have those. Hope this answers some confusion I have may caused since I don't know the correct terminology! <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKscVZ3MhFNWDITXfhDz_U4MG023B0DdTYi8VEFP1awQugVGQcvvszK0xsJy1RzjD-nc4-9vpL4IAslKFXKT0wqEh-cp5DUu15AkiNvU0lxgVTNNNFY0Bl4JOxu34M6svWRvVdM3fkJPtP/s1600-h/cross+ramp.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275618943161432786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKscVZ3MhFNWDITXfhDz_U4MG023B0DdTYi8VEFP1awQugVGQcvvszK0xsJy1RzjD-nc4-9vpL4IAslKFXKT0wqEh-cp5DUu15AkiNvU0lxgVTNNNFY0Bl4JOxu34M6svWRvVdM3fkJPtP/s400/cross+ramp.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 342px;" /></a> <br />This picture is in response to a post from  <a href="http://fiftyeightdaychallenge.blogspot.com/2008/12/day-14.html">"58 Day Challenge"</a>.

At first it's always hard to get out of bed, but once I get going its great. This morning I did the cross ramp (Not sure if that is what it's called, but that is what it says on the side...so that's what I'm calling it!) again and tried to really push myself and felt like I got a great 35 min workout!<br /><br />At lunch I went the gym also. I have weigh in tonight for ww and really want a loss. I didn't have a lot of time so I did a 15 min interval session. I read a bunch about it and sounds like it's good for weight loss and it's a great way to get beyond a plateau (I haven't hit that yet and I hope I don't!).  Below is what I did, but just added a couple more minutes of Hard/Easy to make it 15 minutes. And boy are my legs burning....feels great!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxLyjMxrHcaNYf1Rq4okmWfCQdRT6eKtX6JcKUf-NhqhD0nixQixjitTMt3kcZZojWEt4QkuiSy-4G6_Fe_BPGskfvrCXqagF2N1tWpkCaHnJoQqFhIl8pXIqTUwfxdZ74DPIOthT3nEZG/s1600-h/interval.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275295708422641042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxLyjMxrHcaNYf1Rq4okmWfCQdRT6eKtX6JcKUf-NhqhD0nixQixjitTMt3kcZZojWEt4QkuiSy-4G6_Fe_BPGskfvrCXqagF2N1tWpkCaHnJoQqFhIl8pXIqTUwfxdZ74DPIOthT3nEZG/s320/interval.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 282px;" /></a><br />Today I worked on goals & rewards for myself. It was kinda fun! Check out the sidebar to the left to see what I've set for myself. I'm especially excited about being 170 and getting a new pair of jeans! Right now mine are all either way too big or way too small! And I know they will only be a temporary pair!<br /><br />Well wi for WW was tonight. I didn't gain, but lost .4 lbs. At first I was disappointed because I really thought I did well over the Thanksgiving weekend, but then decided that being disappointed is, in no way, going to help lose any more weight this next week. I have think positively!<br /><br />I was reading my new Fitness magazine when I got home from WW and look at this great point they had in it:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-JTuTjjPlkhaAniMHtaHcqHmM4bLCP6VB1j8I7WoyleRujxjLP-qRhGwbQW4-cX9_NuO-4XjwQIljDmGDlAecswMP730ficad4k5zJ1rXF7J57_IUIOhxCFB7N751gGeJi-52PPSXB_dR/s1600-h/DSC01345.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275562184288566082" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-JTuTjjPlkhaAniMHtaHcqHmM4bLCP6VB1j8I7WoyleRujxjLP-qRhGwbQW4-cX9_NuO-4XjwQIljDmGDlAecswMP730ficad4k5zJ1rXF7J57_IUIOhxCFB7N751gGeJi-52PPSXB_dR/s320/DSC01345.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" /></a>
