Can't believe today marks exactly 1 month before July 4th! I'm pulling out all the stops and will bust my butt for the next 30 days! My goal is to lose at least another 20 pounds. This won't be easy, but I believe I can pull it off!

I've recently joined a newly opened LA Fitness gym just blocks from my home and absolutely love working out while checking out all the gym bunnies! I tend to hate chain gyms, but this place really rocks. It's got everything I need and then some. I had to give in and join a gym because the rainy season is in full force in South Florida! It's rained everyday for the last 3 weeks!!!

This couldn't have been a better move. I tried my first Spinning class today and was thoroughly thrashed!! Wow! I loved having a hot, fit chick yelling at me while I sweat my butt off! I felt used and abused, and loved it!! I have never done anything that intense in my life. I literally left a puddle of sweat on the floor! My clothes were completely drenched and I also couldn't believe that I was able to pretty much keep pace with the instructor the entire time. It was such an awesome and brutal workout that I've decided to incorporate it daily as part of my two-a-days. For the next four weeks I will focus on metabolic work (with a little push-up, ab, and back training thrown in for good measure) to ensure I burn as much fat as possible. I will perform two workouts per day: one will be an hour's worth of Spinning, and the other will be about 45 minutes of "moderate" treadmill speed walking.

I'm sure I can do this. I hope to weigh in at 227 come July 4th! I would only be 7 pounds off of my target weight. Not bad considering all the ups and downs experienced over the past 5 months. Wish me luck!!!
