Thursday

Down another .4 this morning. :)

Last evening I bumped up to the second level of Slim in 6. It was 48 minutes of fast, non-stop, high-impact exercise. It's kind of aerobic-like, with some yoga and stretching at the end. I struggled doing some of the exercises, like the mule kicks (that went on forever - my legs were on fire!) and I had to do the modified move for the pushups. I just did the best that I could and hopefully each time I will be able to do a little more. I really had to talk myself into doing it but once I got going I was okay and then after I felt great. I can never remember a time that I regretted exercising after the fact.

NSV:  I have a pair of pants on today that used to be too small! They actually fit perfectly, too, not even tight. Love it.

Our health insurance at work has this new thing going where it is promoting a healthy lifestyle with monetary incentives. If we complete a health assessment online they will give us a $17/month break on our premium for 6 months (which I've done). Now they've added that if we get a biometric screening that they'll extent the rewards for another 6 months. I Have mine scheduled for next month - they have someone coming to my work and we don't have to pay for it. I had one done last December and I'm curious to see if my results will be any better this time since I've lost some weight and have been eating primally for 3 months now.

That's it for now. Make it a great day!

  1. YAY YOU! I'm sure your biometric screening (whatever that is LOL) will be improved! You are becoming a poster child for your job of how to improve your health! :)

    1. Thanks Gwen! The biometric screening is the blood work to test our cholesterol and blood sugar, weight and measurements.
