Well...colour me disappointed. Tonight I had signed up for a special class called "Bollywood Blast", which I assumed would be a little like belly dancing, but with an Indian flare. It sounded fun! And then when I got there, my ass jingles gloriously shaking, they tell me that the girl who was going to teach the class hurt her ankle, and so it was going to be a Zumba class instead. Which would normally be great...but I really wanted to try this...and also...ass jingles! Anyway, I did the class (which was taught by this Russian hip hop dance instructor and very nearly killed me!) and now I am home, relaxing.
This week was great workout-wise, and really good food-wise, and this morning, I felt rib bones! The scale isn't being as friendly as I'd like, and I'm still awaiting the big 7-0, but I know my body is changing. I'm excited about the exercise, even though it hurts me quite a bit. People are really noticing the loss, and it's making me feel good, because it means that it's not just my imagination that I'm getting smaller. Because honestly...doesn't it sometimes feel that way? Like it's not really real? Sometimes for me it does.
Send me all your weight loss vibes so I can hit 70 down by Meltdown weigh in on Sunday!
I truly salute you, my girl! Ass jingles, torn ACL and all. I send you my most heart-felt vibes for reaching the 70lb goal. You rock (or...jingle...or something)!
ReplyDeleteEvery weight loss vibe I have is coming your way! I'm so super proud of you!
ReplyDeleteWeight loss is surreal sometimes. I'm the exact same on the inside, and it's sometimes difficult for how I look to register in my brain.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're getting outside feedback. That can give you a clearer picture, and help you keep your momentum, when the scale is being less than friendly.
Sorry no ass jingles. That's sad... ;)
Love hearing your exercise love! I'm trying to figure out where that costume is - if I find it it is all yours!
ReplyDeleteBollywood blast sounds super fun!!! I wish they had that here!
ReplyDeleteC'mon 70 down by Sunday!! Fingers crossed for you, Gilly!
ReplyDeleteOk, SO much to say about this post: 1) Bollywood Blast?! I WANT ONE OF THOSE! I love me some Bollywood dancing. 2) Sending lots of good vibes. You deserve it lady! 3) Do you think we can just "ass jingles" as more than a noun? I can hear it as both a verb and an adjective.
ReplyDeleteyou are doing just amazing. so amazing, i almost hate you. lol. kidding.
ReplyDeletesince i only weigh in once a month and am not due to see the scale until july 9th... i will gain a pound this weekend on movie theater popcorn so you can lose a pound!
Here comes the "70 lbs lost" vibe coming your way...so proud of you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for inspiring me.
Vibes headed your way. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed with your exercise stamina - by that I mean your stamina in going back!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to do an Indian dance class...am thinking about a video...
I can't believe you are so close to 70! That is so awesome. Are you planning any type of reward for yourself?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the progress. I understand the disappointment about the class - when I went to try Zumba I got bellydance instead, which I hate. Just wanted to say that disappointment goes in all directions.
