Six weeks into 2018 {on Feb. 11th} I shared with y’all that I was down 10 pounds and today I’m excited to share that I am down another 6 LBs. We are 11 weeks into the new year and 4 weeks since my last post update. Since beginning my weight loss journey in August 2017 I’ve lost a total of 37 LBS with 16 of those LBS being in the last 11 weeks. It’s definitely been a very slowww journey to say the least, but to be honest, it’s probably been the easiest trial of trying to lose weight that I’ve ever attempted. I’m not consumed by it, it’s not controlling my daily life, and I’m not being hard on myself by putting unnecessary pressure to hit a certain number on the scale by a specific date. by Not putting an expiration deadline on my health is what I truly believe has been the biggest factor as to why this hasn’t been such a treacherous experience for me.
i’ll be living in all the coziness during this in between season where the days start off chilly but end up warm or just never warm up at all, ha. i’m wishing for a good run of weather in the 70’s before we hit the heat of summer, spring is my absolute favorite.

another very important aspect as to why this weight loss journey is such a better experience than my past attempts is because I’ve actually found a work out that i love doing. as mentioned in previous post’s I’ve tried what feels like every work out class, studio, and even dvd’s and popular YouTube channels. Nothing has stuck for as long as I have been going to cyclebar’s leawood, ks location. it’s seriously so much fun and because of that the classes fly by. because the classes are 90% cardio I’m burning 500-600 calories each class, which is great. But Don’t be fooled, cycelbar isn’t just cardio – side crunches, arm weights, arm presses/push up’s, and tap backs just to name a few of the strength training exercises that we do during each ride.
