I missed my exercise yesterday. I slept in because I was up so late the night before, and the evening was given to working at my little biz. Eating was not what it should have been either.

This morning I went to Zumba Toning. Eating well so far. We'll see if I can keep it up. 11:30 and I'm ready to run away from the children. Far, far, away...

Ouch! Pilates hurts...

That being said, I didn't do too bad with my eating yesterday. Now for today...

Weigh-in Day

I have no idea what number I'm on since I stopped counting months ago. Probably 60 or 70 something. Anyhoo...

I was so scared to step on the scale this morning. I was certain I had gained weight and was afraid of gaining enough to see the dreaded 200 flash upon my scale. I imagined myself spending the day curled up in a ball crying over my abysmal failure. Instead I was surprised to see that I'd lost 2 pounds! I'm really in disbelief, so I'm finding myself with a reserved excitement over it. That Zumba/Dance party must have burned literally a ka-jillion calories. I've certainly been sore enough.

This morning I got up and went running. I rolled my ankle on Friday, it didn't start bothering me until I wore heals to church yesterday. So I walked extra long in the beginning to ensure I was good and warmed up. It was buggin' for the first few blocks, but I took care to ensure my form was correct and paid close attention to how it was feeling. The discomfort disappeared, and all in all it was a good run. Not long. Just shy of 3 miles if you include all the walking. My ankle feels it now though.

So, now for the nutrition portion of fitness. Yesterday was horrible, lets see if I can do better today...

OINK!

Zumba Mania!

Saturday was the first ever National Day of Dance. To celebrate, my local fitness center, Elevate, put on a big shin dig, culminating in a 2+ hour Zumba fest. They had teachers from all over the state, as well as the creator of Zumba, and we got our groove on for a looooooong time. I made it through the whole two hours with some energy to spare, but I am sure feeling it now. OUCH! I'm sore. Of course I ruined my calorie burning fest with caramel corn over indulgence yesterday. I'm an addict you know...

Anyway... I was up really late last night, so I didn't make it up for my run this morning. We'll see if I manage to squish it in later. I haven't been very good about that. Started off the day with a carb bomb waffle. Good way to start the week :/

So, yesterday was a total waste. I was up really late the night before prepping for scouts, so I didn't get up in time for a run, and didn't squish it in later in the day because I was tired, and I'm trying get some house work done. I can't figure out how to do it all. Plus I finished off the goodies that were hiding. A gazillion calories I'm sure. I was already feeling bad about it, and felt even worse hearing my husband mutter under his breath about it.


Today's a new day. I was up late again sorting through clothes, trying to get everything rotated and take inventory before school starts (in three weeks). I went to my Zumba-toning class. I love it, but it kicked my bum this morning. Eating is another thing. I was so hungry when I got home I ate four blueberry-cottage cheese pancakes. Oink!

After eating so much, at a time that was closer to lunch than breakfast, I made the mistake of skipping lunch to make up for the calories. Plus I wasn't hungry. By dinner I was ravenous and ate accordingly. We watched a movie at a friend's house and I indulged on rice krispy treats, a cookie, and a handful of popcorn. Ugh...

I haven't been able to make myself sit down and record my food, much less my calories yet. I did okay eating yesterday. I kept myself from snacking, but my lunch had rice in it, and I ate too much bread at dinner. Not a good thing, but I didn't eat junk.

I went to pilates this morning. KILLER on the bum and legs today. All in the name of loosing the gut, and toning up those muscles.

So far, I haven't eaten the best stuff, due to lack of choice, but I'm keeping the proportions under control.

breakfast:
banana
scrambled eggs
toast

lunch:
PBJ
milk

Okay, diet's out the window today. My MIL brought a big plate of goodies leftover from their mission farewell. It's like putting scotch in front of an alcoholic...
