Yay, made it to the lower decile! Down .8 this week. I'm retaining water from sodium intake last night--soup salad and breadsticks with hubs and the in laws at Olive Garden. I plan to weigh in on Friday so I know where exactly I am at before we go on vacation. Was not so pleased with myself when I hopped on the scale today, but I'm sure it'll work itself out by the end of the week.
I had tweaked my knee a bit AND I had a crazy back of heel/Achilles issue over the weekend, and was finally able to return to Zumba today. I was bummed to miss Sunday and yesterday, especially since neither class usually works with my schedule.

zumba badass
I'm down 4.4 this week. Woohooo!
Yesterday I had a really proud moment. The Zumba instructor I love teaches at another gym location about 20 minutes away from here on Monday mornings. I love her class and I haven't been to it in over 2 months because it doesn't always work with my schedule (Saturday afternoons at my gym) and she had a sub for 3 weeks.
Anyway, so I drove all the way out there to take her class.
About halfway through the class she told us that she wasn't feeling 100% and to bear with her. 3rd to last song, she looks at me, pulls me out of the line and says, "Can you lead this song? You know this song, right? I have to run outside for a minute, it's an emergency, you can totally do this!" I had told her a couple months ago that I was thinking of doing the instructor training.
So I get up in the front of the class, freeze, internally freak out, and apologize to the class. hahahaha. Then I realized that I just had to suck it up and make it work somehow. I haven't done this song in over 2 months, so I just start making crap up and it suuuuuuuucks. Then, I suddenly remember how it goes! Yahoooooo! I was able to do a halfway decent job on the back half of the song. When I was done, the class applauded and several people gave me high fives. One lady told me, "From now on I'm going to follow you!"
It made me feel pretty badass. Totally motivated me.
Then today when I went to WW I lost 4.4. I was up .8 last week, but I was wearing jeans, and had drank some water right before I went, so I don't really think my loss this week was that huge, but whatever, I'll take it! I definitely notice a difference in my stomach chub. Hooray!
I'm only .4 away from being in a lower decile, and that was my little goal to get down to before Mexico. Only 8 lbs away from my wedding weight! Only 16.6 lbs away from my lowest, and from what I lost the first time I was on WW. Let's do this! I'm pumped!
So all in all it's a pretty good week!
