Good news is I'm making progress. How do I know without weighing myself? Three ways:
1) I can get my class ring on again without a struggle. I couldn't do that on Monday.
2) I can get into my big jeans and zip them up without a problem. Granted, they're still too tight on me, but at least I can get them on again.
3) I can get into Patrick's old jeans again. Those were also my back-up plan whenever I couldn't get into my own clothes, now that I'm writing this, I'm not sure if he knows that. =)
So I don't frustrate anyone on how much weight I'm seemingly losing in one week, please remember, I'm a "concentrated" (short) person. Two-three pounds (or one kilo) does make that much a difference on me with how my clothes fit. This should also show you how much I was eating the last couple of weeks on vacation compared to now if only a few days makes that much of a difference.
Now on to my first review of the Biggest Loser DVD "Weight Loss Yoga".
The set-up of the DVD is pretty standard for the "Biggest Loser" DVDs: 5-minute warm-up, a 20-minute Level 1 circuit, a 15-minute Level 2 circuit, a 10-minute Level 3 circuit, and then a 5-minute cool down. You can do all five of these or customize it however you want. You also have the choice of music and instruction or just music. I choose music and instruction since this is my first time doing the workout. I also just choose the warm-up, Level 1, and the cool down since its been months since I worked out.
I'm considering myself a beginner right now, and as a beginner this was a decent workout by itself. I also liked that it wasn't anything that I thought could make my injury worse like running or standard cardio aerobics could do. It focuses mostly on yoga and pilates moves so it's mostly stretching and strength-training, but that's what I need at this point. I probably could have done Level 2 as well today, but I'm glad I didn't, and know its something I can add tomorrow.
I found a new favorite snack at Wal-Mart this week. "Cranberry Nut Antioxidant", all it is is almonds, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries but I love it. I have to be careful since it's 190 calories a serving (each serving is 1/4 cup), but its totally worth it.
That's it for now, I'll let y'all know how Level 2 and 3 are of "Weight Loss Yoga". Right now its on my "maybe" list of workout DVDs to buy.
