So, today I will be celebrating that I am only 2.6 lbs away from losing 20 lbs and fingers crossed that I will be able to fit into SOME dresses:):):)
Enough of that, I wanted to share with you all what I do for my weekly workouts and some workouts that I want to incorporate into my routine soon:)
Before I go into that, I just wanted to tell you all something that I've been trying to do every night...get at least 8 hours of sleep, if not 9, because I heard it's very vital to losing weight and of course being in a better mood and etc. I found this on Pinterest and found it very interesting:

Our Zumba class that we go to has about 40-50 people at a time and it's like a flash mob! There really is soo much energy and the instructor gets into it. I heart Zumba with a passion and I seriously don't know what I would do without it!

I also go to the gym and lift weights for 1 hour 3 days a week! Lately, I've been upping the lbs that I've been lifting which is really a great feeling:) I have to say when I first started going, I felt embarrassed and didn't want to go by myself, but now I'm not embarrassed. I'm excited to get a great workout in and feel excellent afterwards!

On the weekends, if I'm home, I will use my elliptical! I used to use this ALL of the time, but now since it's nice out, it's been collecting dust!
One of the areas that I know will be a problem area for me are my abs. I know that I don't have any "abs" right now and probably won't for a little while, but I figure it's better to work them out now then waiting until I lose all of the weight and then decide to kick it into gear. So, I've been doing this ab workout 3-5 times a week! Let me tell you, it is definitely a great workout and I can feel the burn!!! Love it:)

I don't do a whole lot of "free" toning, sorry don't know the correct terms of it. I do a lot of weight lifting at the gym with the weight machines, but not a lot free weights or toning. So, I would like to incorporate that a little bit more. I thought this might be something good to try out. I have a medicine ball, so why not?!?!

This is my ultimate exercise goal though:

To all of you out there that are unsure if you can make a lifestyle change, just know that if I can do this then so can you! I am not going on any particular fad diet. I'm just watching what I eat and making sure I'm giving my body enough nutrients it needs to be healthy. We all have to start somewhere! I hope you all have a great weekend:)
Thanks for stopping by:):):)
