Sunday: Now, normally on Sunday's I don't do anything do to the fact that I'm working all day but this week isn't like any other week and I knew I had to do something if I wanted to loose these last 2.2lbs. So, off to the gym I went during my lunch break for a quick (half an hour) bike ride. It actually felt really nice and it was a great way to shake up my work day!
Monday: Now, just like every Monday it's time for Group Step. Today's class was no different than any other, although it did seem like I was picked on more than usual.
Tuesday: Went for my workout during my team training time and once again I wasn't joined by any of my teammates, so I decided to put together my own little workout. Today's workout consisted of the following: 10 minute warm up on the elliptical, 30 assisted pull ups and 30 assisted dips, 15 kettle ball swings (3x), 15 chest presses with 12lb weights (3x), abs (3 sets of 10) and a 8 mile bike ride on the expresso bike! I decided to challenge myself with the bike ride and chose the course that said "Oh Mama" and let me just tell you, that was the prefect title for that course!
Wednesday: We all know what this day means.....GROUP GROOVE! Time to dance those pounds away and as of today, I'm only down .2lbs towards my goal. If I want to loose these last two pounds, I'm starting to think that I really need to kick it into gear!
Thursday: My last team day and guess what, I'm actually joined by a fellow teammate! Granted, this person could only work out with me for a half an hour but boy didn't I make the most of our time. We did the following: weighted sandbag lifts on box 2 sets of 25 (an old favorite), ball slams 2 sets of 25, kettle ball swings 2 sets of 15, burpess with leg lifts 2 sets of 15, ARC for one minute, Treadmill for one minute, 25 squats with 45lb barbell, 4 sets of bear crawls, 15 assisted pull ups and 15 inchworms with a push up. Not bad, not bad at all.
After my teammate left, off to the bike I went for a nice half an hour ride.
Friday: We're getting down to the wire and I'm still no where close to my goal. Final weigh in is tomorrow night, so off the Y I went to help me loose these last two pounds. I started off my workout with Pilates (time to work on the core!) and then I followed that with an awesome workout. I joined my "sister" Biggest Mover team (the Violet ladies) for one of there workouts. We started off with our usual warm up: jumping jacks and burpess. From there it was on to the workout, we did the following two times for two minutes each: step ups for one minute then side squats switching legs for the other minute, run on the treadmill (1 min at 6% incline 1 min at 0% incline but bump up the speed), squats with 45lb barbell, deadlifts with 20lb weight. From there we moved on to the following: 4 sets of 2 minute sprints on the treadmill and in between each set we did one set of these: boxing punches, ball slams, barbell lifts from the floor to above the head and kettle ball swings. Oh and I think I should add that all kettle ball swings were down with the 30lb one!
We finished the day with some nice stretching!
Saturday: LAST CHANCE WORKOUT DAY!!!!!
My origianl plan was to go to Group Power this morning and then follow that with Group Groove but when one of my friends told me that she wasn't making it to Group Power, I opted to skip any weight training for the day and focus on cardio....so off to cycling class I went! One hour of doing nothing but biking is one killer workout, I managed to do 11.2 miles but the best part was the fact that I survived the whole intire class!
From there it was off to Group Groove for my last big push.....needed to sweat out those last few pounds!
****After 12 weeks of hard work here are my final Biggest Mover results****
Two weeks on my own, I lost 1.2lbs (not the 2.2lbs I was looking for but I'm happy!)
12 weeks, grand total: 13.6lbs lost
I'm proud to say that I'm now ONE pound away from 70lbs lost!!! And, I'm now only 37.4lbs away from my goal weight!!!!
Our team ended up winning first place for the Biggest Mover Challenge and we won 5hrs of team Personal Training with our awesome trainer and $20 to a local resuarant. We also won the swim portion that took place during our "team challenge", thanks to me getting into the water! And for that we won 1hr of nutrition counseling.
