To help motivate me along this journey, and to add some fun, I decided to reward myself for every 10-pound loss. Nothing wild and crazy, no Maserati’s here, just little things I usually wouldn’t spend the money on, like a salon manicure.
Last Saturday, I was 0.6 pounds away from my next 10-pound reward. Besides not earning the reward yet, I was just very disappointed with losing 1.4 pounds when I worked so hard last week. I am determined to reach my next mini-goal (and get my reward) this Saturday, so I decided to shake things up again and switched last night’s Insanity workout to Insanity Max: 30.
Insanity Max: 30, led by my boy Shaun T, is basically Insanity condensed into 30 minutes. No stretching to catch your breath after the warm-up, no breaks, no chit-chat, just hard-core go-go-go for 30 long minutes. So it’s harder than regular Insanity because there are no breaks to look forward to, but it’s also over faster (since Insanity workouts range from 40-60 minutes). And trust me, I watch that clock on the screen, counting down the minutes to the end!
Last night I was straightening up the top shelf of my closet, which tends to slide into a jumbled mess because I really can’t reach it and end up slinging things up there instead of neatly placing them there. I pulled a stack of sweaters down to refold and put back neatly, when I discovered that two sweaters had been shoved behind all the others. I completely forgot I had them! I tried them on, and they both fit. I couldn’t wait to wear one of them today to work. It was like going shopping but not having to spend any money, ha ha. Oh, and it was a reminder to straighten that shelf more often!
