Even my hair hurts....

Oh. My. God. I think every muscle in my body is hurting. I did my cardio workout for the second day in a row. It feels good to feel the pain, though, because it means I used all my muscles today. Some I didn't even know existed until I woke up this morning and had to creatively get out of bed, seeing as my usual method of just sitting up was hindered by sore body parts. Oh well. It will be worth it. I like this workout so far, and I think the tons of sweating it evokes is healthy.
Aside from the soreness and satisfaction, tonight I will make my first attempt with baked tofu. I have had tofu before, in eggless egg salad, and possibly one or two store bought meals. Now I want to try it sliced, marinated, and baked. I hope it will taste as good as it appears in my mind. We shall see. I have to keep the vegan thing interesting so I don't resort to junk like chips and bread all the time.
Anywho, I feel great. I am keeping on track with my exercise and eating. I feel good. I am losing weight and getting stronger. So awesome. Even if I am covered in sweat. Normally, fat chicks only get this way climbing stairs or trying on jeans. I did it with a workout. Nice. Until next time....

Cardio party.....

I am drenched in sweat. I stink to high heaven. I feel like a million bucks! I just did a 45 minute intense cardio workout! I finally worked my way up from walking and doing basic shit to burning tons of calories and sweating like a pig. My endurance isn't top notch yet, but I held my own and I didn't collapse in a heap on the living room floor, so that is a plus. I am doing the Turbo Jam series. Today I decided on Cardio Party, (<----click that for link) which is 45 minutes of using muscles I didn't even know existed. I am sore already, so tomorrow will surely be hell. It was totally worth it, though. I love Turbo Jam stuff. The vibe is right up my alley and the energy is just amazing. A workout like that makes you feel alive. Sounds cliche' I know, but it is the truth. I am still eating well, although I have been indulging a bit on my vegan hot dogs lately. They are not unhealthy per se, but they are a bit high in sodium. Oh well. I am still losing weight so no biggie. And now I feel like I have a workout that I truly love. That makes a world of difference. Now, I am badly in need of a shower. The wallpaper is beginning to wilt. Until tomorrow....

Monday, Monday.....

Here it is again: Measurement Monday. I was busy the last few days due to my hubby's birthday, hence the lack of posts. Anyway, I am going to post my latest measurements. Not as big a drop as last time, but still losing inches. That is what matters. I really don't have a lot to say today. I must admit I feel kind of "blah". Not sure why. Anyway, here is the link for my progress:

My Measurements


There you have it. Let's see how far I can get by next Monday. Until then....
