However, I know that I need to mix things up a bit. This week I am going to try to do the 30 day shred atleast 3 times. And, I would really like to try some other classes at the Y, but honestly, I am chicken. I hate being the only new one in class - and I psych myself out before I go - I had some bad experiences a while back. Anyone a Y member (or live in the N metro - I have guest passes) that would want to meet up for a class sometime? Let me know. I could totally use a buddy.

This week I will hopefully meet my first goal - losing 10 lbs. Trust me, I'll keep you posted.
I decided that meeting my "treat" for reaching my first goal is just going to be some satisfaction and pride knowing that I am on the right track. But, once I get under the 80's I am going to treat myself to a shirt and bracelet from the PriorFatGirl store. Working out in the future PFG shirt will be awesome.

My darling husband recently bought me a heart rate monitor/pedometer, but it doesn't work the way I was hoping. It calculates calories burned based on steps. It said I burned 180 calories after 60 minutes of BodyStep class - so wrong! Do you have recommendations on a great (but not uber expensive) heart rate monitor? Thanks for your suggestions!

Have a great Monday and enjoy Valentine's Day~ as an elementary school teacher we'll be celebrating by frosting cookies (the kiddos, not me) and playing word games.
If you go a few minutes early and introduce yourself to the instructor and get some tips, I guarantee you will be much more comfortable! You can do it! Re: HR Monitors, just make sure you get one with a chest strap so it can monitor your heart rate accurately. Target has some good ones! :)
ReplyDeleteI want to try Zumba or Latin Hip Hop. I've never been to either one of those but I've heard that they are fun. Let's see if our schedules match and we could do one together.
