"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Biggest Loser: Week 5

Previous weight: 149
Current weight: 147

2 more pounds. I sort of let meself indulge a little bit this past week. I was good the previous week, but I think I'm getting a little burned out having to keep track of my calories and such. I've been tired, not sleeping enough, and a little stressed this last week and sort of had the mind set of 'I deserve it, I'm going to eat this.' My workouts have still been there everyday and I enjoy them and push myself. I taught my Turbo class on Wednesday and it went really good. I enjoyed it and I think those who came to it enjoyed themselves as well. I really hope that I can do this soon. I secretly want someone to quit or get fired or maybe pregnant because then it would open a slot for me! lol. I'm happy I went down and am vowing to keep going with a brand new week. I am going to visit Corey next weekend which will be fabulous, but I'm already planning on not being too strict about what I eat. I'll still go to the gym with him, but I'm going to enjoy that ice cream and pasta that I know we're going to get.

I also had my measurements taken again today. The last time I did that was in the beginning of December. I sort of just forgot in January so these numbers are since December.

Bust: -1.50
Waist: -.25
Abdomen: -3.50
Hips: -2.25
Thighs: -2.0
Calves: -0.50
Arms: -1.00
Total inches: -11.00
Body fat %: -2.40%

I'm crazy excited about these numbers. I'm feeling it in my clothes. Pants that I used to squeeze into and have to sort of 'stretch out' for a couple of minutes before they were comfortable are now a loose right out of the dryer.

I'm going to continue chuggin' along. Monday starts phase 2 of my program and I'm excited to bring in some more cardio. I'm feeling stronger these days though. It feels good to say that a certain weight is now too easy when it was hard when I first started. Cool beans!! Let's do this!
