The Perfect Ten Update

The Perfect 10 challenge Update

1) I am going to try at least one new fitness activity every week... even if it is just a new piece of equipment at the gym or some group exercise class.

My new fitness activity this week was weight training. The session involved a lot of new activities which have made my arms so sore today that it hurts to type. Ok not that bad but I can sure feel it. Flying push-ups are interesting. The trainer asked if I can do push-ups and I said, "not even one." She had me do a flying push-up which involves starting in push-up position lowering yourself completely to the ground and putting your arms out strait to the side like you are flying and then bringing yours back in and pushing yourself back up. I did two sets of ten!

2) I am going to workout a minimum of 4 hours each week... even when I work everyday.

This was easy to accomplish this week because I had a lot of days off from work. Friday I did two hours of Zumba, on Monday one hour of zumba, Tuesday one hour of zumba and one hour with the trainer, today I am hoping to get in a run and Zumba, and tomorrow another Zumba class. That is five hours so far and 8 hours total if I do everything I hope to do in the next two days.

3) I will lose at least 10 pounds.

I haven't weighed myself since the first of the year so I will have to update this next week.

And lastly the thing you might not know about me...

I am attempting to create a "cup cookie" for when I serve hot cocoa to my nieces and nephew. It involves finding the right cookie type and the right cookie shape to sit on the edge of a coffee mug filled with hot chocolate and whip cream. This was my first attempt. Don't worry I am not eating the leftover cookies.
