So in true Stacy fashion, I injured myself at the gym this week. Not actually using a machine, but instead walking right into one! OUCH! I have a nice welt and bruise on my right shin now to show for it. But don't worry folks, I kept working out anyway! I'm down 22lbs. total since starting my new routine last fall...hoping to lose another 8 to get to my original goal and then I'll re-evaluate and see if I'm where I want to be. I'm feeling great though, and officially down to a size 10 pant...whoo hooo!
I have a new workout buddy at the gym too! My friend Kevin is a Health Management Rep. at my work and was looking for a new place to work out besides our fitness center at work. Since I have a black card at Planet Fitness, I can bring one guest a day, so why not use my membership to it's fullest. I thought I was just going to sign Kevin in for the free pass and then we'd both be off on our own workouts, but little did I know, he's going to be my personal trainer of sorts! He showed me how to use the leg press and some other machines in the "intimidating" weight area of the gym. We're going to try and do our new routine together once a week, so I'm thinking my legs are going to get pretty toned by bathing suit season...so very exciting!
In other news, I made it successfully through Valentine's Day, and in all honesty, it wasn't that bad. I handed out some little valentine's I had made for co-workers and friends and they loved them. I got some great e-mails/texts from friends and a card and homemade cookies from Carrie, along with a perfect card from my parents! I rounded off the night by making some delicious chocolate covered strawberries for a baby shower at work we had Friday. I made some with milk chocolate and some with dark, they came out perfectly too...but I forgot to take some photos before they were devoured, sorry folks!
So, this weekend I'm doing the usual chores...cleaning, laundry, etc. Tonight I'll be going snow tubing up at Gunstock with friends. Going to have to bundle up with the chilly air we have here today though. Tomorrow I'll join my mom and dad for brunch and then spend the day with them. I'm leaving Monday up in the air. Maybe I'll tackle my office/craft room re-organize. God knows that has been on my "to-do" list for months! Or maybe I'll just relax and try to catch up on sleep, since I haven't been sleeping well at all lately. That's the beauty of a three day weekend, having options for a free day...gotta love that!
Hope you all enjoy your weekend!
