Adventures of a Skinny Girl Wannabe: Body Pump Workout

Reality TV Junkie

Survivor Guatemala
Last night was the big tribe merge. The tribes came together and made the new tribe, but still seemed to keep to tribal lines very strictly. It seemed throughout the show as though Jamie would go for his rude comments to the other tribe members, but Brandon was the one to be voted off for being a strong team member and serious threat. It will be interesting to see how much longer Bobby Jon can survive with the other team gunning for him to go next.
Martha Stewart's Apprentice
No matter what Martha does she just doesn't seem as dynamic as Donald Trump does. The teams did terrible on their marketing pitches and Martha ended up firing two different women at the same time for the mistake. This would have seemed very dynamic if it was Trump firing them, but instead it just seemed a bit dull. I wasn't sorry to see either of the women go, the blonde squad.
The Biggest Loser Update
I was sad to see Mark go last night on the Biggest Loser, but couldn't believe how wonderful he looked in his after-the-show interview. He was down by 150 lbs. and looked marvelous! I love to see great weight loss stories and how young and viberant everyone feels with their weightloss.
Survivor Guatemala
I was sad to see Amy go. She was such a "tough girl" and really gave the game her all. Thanks for a great game Amy!

Jennifer Weiner: In Her Shoes
I started this book before the movie was recently released with Cameron Diaz and Shirley McLaine. I really enjoyed this book because of the character development between the two sisters and the plot was always interesting and kept me guessing. I want to go to see the movie now that I have finished the book to see if it does this book justice. (****)
Jane Green: Jemima J
I loved this book in describing the weightloss and emotional changes of Jemima! I could relate with this book. (****)
Joann Hornak: Adventures of a Salsa Goddess
Absolutely loved this book! It made me want to get up and salsa all night! (*****)
Jennifer Weiner: Little Earthquakes
This book had its moments: sad, emotional, angry, happy etc. But an all together good read! (****)

Body Pump Workout

Body Pump Night

The weather has been very dreary here lately and raining most of the time, so it has been hard to think of much of anything besides sleeping.

It would have been easy for me to back out of my workout for the evening, but I forced myself to go to the gym for my Monday night Body Pump class and I was so glad that I did! Last night it seemed like every hard and challenging track they had, they used. This made the workout one of the most challenging I have had up to this point. It was just the motivation and spark that I needed to keep on moving and getting in my exercise.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments and ideas that everyone gave me regarding my weightloss. I think I need to refocus myself and "get down to business" so to speak. A few of you mentioned making sure I get in all my activity, measuring all my foods correctly, drinking all my water and if my current weight is where my body is comfortable.. then so be it.

I can't believe that Turkey day is around the corner. I have to say that the only things I like about Thanksgiving are:

1 - I get the day off from work
2 - I get to see friends and family
3 - After Christmas shopping
4 - Did I mention I get the day off from work! :)

I really dread Thanksgiving and the idea of it being about a big meal. Does anyone else have problems with a holiday that is focused around food? I know already that I'm not going to overeat, because there is nothing worse then feeling like you have eaten to much all day and feel like you need a nap and then someway to work off all the food.

Lets all agree to spending time with our friends and family on Thanksgiving but not overdoing it. :)
