Let's get RIPPED

We had another weigh in this morning. Usually it is on Monday morning's, but because of fourth of July we changed it to today. We had to be at the studio for a RIPPED class at 5:00am. I came in a couple minutes late and the studio was packed with women already starting their warm ups.

I dropped off my stuff, and saw the dreaded scale. I debated just starting my work out and then I would weigh in later, but for some reason I feel like if I jumble everything around before weighing in I will have a higher reading. Weird I know! So I weighed in...

and I gained 0.4lbs. :( I kind of expected that this week. I could pretty much feel all week that I wasn't losing any weight. Usually I feel super skinny the first couple of days during the week and then I start feeling a little more bloated by the end of the week. I also didn't stick to the meal plan very good.

According to Breanne, week 6 is notorious for good results, so I feel motivated now to get back on the meal plan, workout hard this week and drop a couple more pounds!!

So this morning we had a RIPPED class, which is a normal class that the studio holds on Tuesday's and Thursday's. Body Back's girls joined the RIPPED girls for a great workout. RIPPED is kind of like workout routines choreographed really well to music. Each song has specific areas that we work out. It was actually a lot of fun. I feel it brought out the cheerleader in me. Learning routines and grooving to music.

At one point, we were doing some leg squats and push ups, and during the push ups the music had this hardcore bass beat to it. I sat up and asked Natalie, "Don't you feel like a bad ass right now?"

There was another "routine" where it took a lot of coordination and it was very easy to get lost. I looked over at Natalie and she has this weird smile on her face and was just hopping awkwardly in place. It was pretty hilarious.

So after a great workout today, I am ready for the week... and I am hoping for a 2lb weight loss this week!!!! :)
