Weigh-in day!

It's like I have my own little "Biggest Loser" competition going on.
Weigh-in day today!
I lost 1.2lbs this week, for a total loss of 8.4lbs in 2009. Woop woop!

In my boring life, Saturday mornings are usually always™ meant for working out.
The only exception is when I decide to go out on a Friday night and get myself belligerent drunk. Me getting drunk doesn’t seem to happen as often now though, which I guess is good thing :)

Anyways, so I get to the gym at 9:00am as always and I am ready for my Turbo Kick Box class. The only reason I want to get up early on a weekend is this specific class in itself, it’s amazingly fun and kicks my ass every time.
Today was going to be different though. After the usual hour of TKB I was going to the Everlast Shadow Box class as well as a 24LIFT class.
The gym was introducing this new class called Everlast Shadow Box. This class, taught by one of my fave instructor Honey, was crazy.
Turbo Kick Box is a more choreographed type of workout with kickboxing moves, sports drill, dancing and even some yoga to bumping music, at all times. Each class seriously feels like a party, but makes you sweat like you wouldn’t believe.
Everlast Shadow Box is completely different. Basically, you go 12 – 3min rounds (and yes, there is a timer). All boxing moves, no kicks. There’s music pumping (eye of the tiger for example hah), but the music is not the focus as you’re not gonna do your moves to the beat. It’s like a boxers workout, jump rope and all, and I almost felt like puking afterwards.
THEN, all that was left in my crazy morning workout was my 24LIFT class. At this point my body was already shaking and screaming at me to go home already, but I made it through!

Love that good feeling you get after a great workout!
