So about a month ago I got a thing in the mail that said I could try out the new snap fitness in Cedar City for free if I participated in a "fitness study." The only requirement was that you couldn't currently be working out (for once that played in my favor!). So I've been doing that the last three weeks, three times a week, and I've been going to the funnest thing ever...ZUMBA...with my friend Brea twice a week. Last week I worked out 6 out of the 7 days! I'm really trying to get back into shape and seriously, I don't think I have sweated (doesn't sound right) that much since cheerleading in high school-I'm not a big sweater-but I've been dripping sweat after Zumba and my workouts at Snap. Yesterday was my last day at the fitness study and I decided to weigh myself on the same scale I weighed myself on last week and (no need for a drum roll) it turns out I gained a freaking pound!!! I didn't even lose a single pound. Drew says this is because muscle weighs more than fat and I probably got a lot more muscley. I think he was just trying to make me feel better. The frustrating thing is that I know I'm capable of weighing a lot less. I don’t want to tell you how much weight I’ve gained since I got married. Yes, I look okay in clothes, but summer is coming quickly and I am nowhere near bikini ready. Yes, I am trying to help my husband gain more weight by making him fattening food, but I don’t want that to be my excuse. Yes, I probably love chocolate way too much but what girl doesn’t? Yes, my 8 month pregnant friend weighs just 5 pounds more than me. Yes, if you haven't noticed yet, I am venting!!! HELP!! What’s the secret?? Ha ha…I need some words of encouragement…or something! If you've gotten this far, thanks for listening!
These pictures were taken after a long day in the kitchen cooking, which is why I look so tired! I cooked so much food, I was pretty proud of myself. I made salmon, rice, steamed asparagus, and a chocolate cream pie!
