20# Mark

I finally hit the 20 pound mark! FINALLY! It took 14 weeks. In the past I would usually lose 25 in 12. It is getting easier. I have 16 weeks left until my birthday. My goal is to lose 22 pounds by then. If I don't go over my weeklies I can make it. I will have to survive Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas during those 16 weeks. Yikes.

I also started the DVD's I ordered, Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis (TAM). The first time I did it, I was like, "That's it? That wasn't very hard." I was expecting it to be more painful, which seems a stupid thought. Why do I think exercise=pain? The 2nd time I did it, the ab sequence burned. The 3rd time, my abs were in pain. My abs are sore. They're tender if I cough. Today I woke up and my back felt funny. I don't want to overdo it and have my back go out. The leg sequences are on your hands and knees and that is stressful on my back. If I wasn't so chubby, it wouldn't be so hard on my back. I think I'll skip TAM today so I don't hurt myself and try again tomorrow.
