EM: Me Edition

{ae filkins}

Well its that time again... Time for accountability! Why does it seem like Wednesdays come so fast?

This week I have done fairly well on the exercise front! I worked out 30 minutes 4 nights on my elliptical and I also took a Zumba class! I have slacked since Saturday though... :( I plan on getting my butt on the Elliptical TONIGHT! My eating habits stink lately! I have been craving sweets in a major way and I seem to be super hungry late at night. I have avoided all fast food though! Yay! I have been fast food free for three weeks....

This week, Amber has asked what music you work out to...

Well, I usually don't work out to music, because I typically watch TV ... If I am listening to music though it has to be hip hop with fast and pounding beats! It helps if I know all the words because then I jam, sing, and really get into it.... (Note to self: Save music for home work outs....)

I am down between a half a pound and a pound.... So not bad, but not where I want to be! Hopefully these snack cravings subside soon!

Staci,

A half a pound or a pound is great! I know I keep saying this but your weight loss is comparable to losing between 2 - 4 sticks of butter. 2 sticks for .5 lb. and 4 sticks for 1 lb. Now doesn't that seem like it's a lot of weight lost?

Great job! Keep up the good work.

Much love from NJ,
Sue

Great job with avoiding fast food :) That is awesome! I think you are doing great, so keep your head up. I wish I could come to Zumba tomorrow, but Noah has a cub scout meeting. :( It stinks I know. If you go, I will be there in spirit lol.

I love watching tv when I workout too! Just makes the time fly by so much faster.

Yeah for you Staci! Down 3/4 lb in a week is awesome - wish I could say the same :-) I'm looking forward to the nice weather this weekend and my run on Friday, maybe that will help inspire me to not snack (plus the cadbury mini eggs are ALL gone - wonder where they went??!)

1.5 is a good number. Way to stay away from fast food. FF has been a real problem for me this week. Good luck this week.

Great job! Every little bit helps!

I wish I could watch TV while I work out. I may have to ask Hubby to install a TV in my gym.

Have a great week!

staci what are your thoughts on Zumba..

I tried it and I look like a limp noodle doing it!

Everyone says it is so fun but I can't seem to get it!!

Congrats on your loss!!

Good job this week. And a pound is a pound! I also am hungry late at night - it's my downfall!

XOXO

You're doing great!!! Good job for getting some work-outs in! I have a hard time finding the time I need for those!

Why do sweets have to be so good!??? Why can't I just be craving a plate full of carrots?:-)

That's fantastic that you lost!! Be happy for that...not everyone had such good news {me}. I still have no idea what Zumba is?! I'm pretty sure it would kick my...

OK...is there a story on you working out to music while in public? hee hee

I am new to the EM:Me edition. Just stopping by to say howdy!

Amber said...

I am such a slacker!! I cannot believe that it has taken me this long to realize I didn't comment over here. Actually, I missed a few people.

Congrats on the loss! I'm SUPER impressed that you've been fast food free for 3 weeks. Oh my gosh! We eat out SO much. We shouldn't, but it's 'what we do'. We like to go out to eat when we run our errands and such. And I meet my cousin and her son a couple times per week at a play place, so our kids can play. We should start taking them to a park. But then we don't get free refills on Diet Coke!! :)

Hope you're having a great week!!
