Weazing the Juice

I had been talking to a couple of people about juicing for a while, but the price tag of juicers kept me hesitant to make the purchase, so when I saw the Jack Lalanne juicer on clearance at my local Target I claimed.  SCORE!! Besides the fact that I was thinking of substituting meals, I LOVE kitchen gadgets.  So after a week an a half of having a juice for breakfast (fruit based) and a juice for dinner (veggie based) I've lost about 3 lbs.  This isn't amazing, but I've been eating basically whatever I want for lunch and not working out. 

On top of that, I've had basically the most stressful two months of work ever.  Cleaning up 22 months of someone else's mess with long hours had me running for the fried chicken, pizza & McDonald's and the scale had started creeping up on me.  

On top of the juicing, the hubby and I decided to make a bet.  We're leaving on vacation on Saturday and we're both big shoppers so for the last 3 weeks before we leave, we've bet our shopping budgets that we won't go out to eat at all.  Any indiscretion means $50 from one's budget with be added to the other's shopping budget.  My husband has cheated once alone and once with me with means an extra $50 for me at the outlets!  The only problem is, that the majority of our meals will inevitably end up on the road, so those 3lbs will probably be added back by the time we return in a week.  I'm hoping all the walking and chasing after our 1 year old we'll be doing will help.  

Either way, once we come back, it's time to get serious.  My youngest brother is getting married in the Spring and all the bridesmaids are stick figures of course except me, so I'd really like to not be "the fat one," especially by this big a margin.  For my other brother's wedding I was pregnant, so I'd like to get to my pre-pregnancy weight for this wedding.  So I'll definitely need to get back to working out again, which I'm not really too stoked about.  I used to go to a kick boxing class (Les Mills) that I LOVED.  The music is great and there were real routines, not just the instructor making up new moves as we went along.  On top of that, the instructor was a HOTTIE, but he's since moved to only personal training so that leaves me without a class I really enjoy.  I've done zumba, and it's fun, but I really don't want to do that everyday.  It leaves me looking into the local gym for class options.  I know people are really into cross fit right now, but it just doesn't seem exciting to me.  Any other class suggestions?
