Day 9: Fitness Challenge Update

So... the fitness challenge kind of went downhill during December when nearly everybody got sick and then got the flu.  We are starting it back up again though and I'm not totally sure when the final weigh in/measurments will be.


As of right now Derek is totally winning at both the weight loss and loss of inches.  I have lost a total of I don't know close to 10 lbs and I think almost 2 inches.  Which actually meant I am down 1 pant size and some shirts are starting to fit better.


I only have four training sessions left which is a major bummer but I have learned a lot from her. The biggest challenge that I have found for me is that I have a hard time getting myself to go work out by myself.  Derek works out with some of his coworkers which I think makes it easier to get yourself to the gym each day.  This coming week though I am going to push myself to go 5 days and shoot for a minimum of 4 each week.


What do you find to be your biggest challenges in going to the gym and getting fit?

  1. what helped me the most this time around was taking advantage of the group classes at gold's and getting into a routine. i found a few classes i enjoy and realized that even though it is hard to wake up early, that is the only time of day that would work for me to go to the gym, because i am too tired and hungry after work!

    i dont really like the dance or weight lifting classes -- my faves are attack, combat, step, and rpm. step has a class monday mornings at 6:30am that only 2-3 people go to if you ever want to meet me there!

    1. I might take you up on that step class! I think I'll have to look into when they have their yoga and pilates classes as well. Thanks Brooke!
