My Weight Loss - Day 19

Today was a great day for calories. Even with a little wine for Fat Tuesday, I came in nearly 400 calories under what My Fitness Pal allotted for me today - after working out.

Today's workout came from http://fitnessglo.com/ (which I was able to connect to through my Roku). I am on a 15-day trial and then it is $15/month. It's similar to the Daily Burn that I tried yesterday. When you go to the site, you can choose your workouts by instructor, duration, level or style.

I did a workout called "Dance Party." I liked the instructor the more I watched her, but the class didn't challenge me enough. The biggest reason was because most of the class was spent learning the steps to the entire dance in parts, mostly in a slower tempo and a ton of repetition. You only really get to do the entire routine twice in full and at full tempo at the end of the class. I'm used to going in with no instruction and doing what the class leader is doing, so this bored me and didn't challenge me nearly enough. I ended up burning a decent amount of calories despite that --- but this company doesn't have nearly the amount of features that the Daily Burn did. They do offer all types of workouts like Daily Burn does, however, and I think I will go back and try more just so I give it a fair shot. Perhaps this video just wasn't at the level I needed, but other people may really benefit from it. Regardless, I came away with a whole new dance that I don't think I could forget if I tried. :)

I'm just a couple days away from the next weigh-in. So far, I think I may have lost a pound or so... but I'm worried that I won't get out of the 200s like I had planned for this week. I wonder why I feel I am losing weight so slowly when others are dropping it much more easily. Am I building muscle with these dances? I do feel a bit slimmer in the belly region... not a lot, but enough that it's a little noticeable to me.

Carrying on...
