feeling

it is soo interesting that i feel crappy when i go through the weekend without working out. I mean yes it makes sense but i didnt realize it till this week. SO i haven't gone to the gym since last thursday...and it's tuesday! Lame, i know, but i told myself i needed to give my leg 2 days off...so i did and got busy on sunday. I am going for a walk on the treadmill today and then 1.5 hours of dance. Ive got to do something tomorrow, I could do zumba at 930 and then walk the dog later in the day! I am thinking that way it will get me up and get going. Thursday I will try to hit pilates buff. but we will see. Thursday is busy, i have to work and have dinner with the ladies :) This weekend, we are going to do some bike riding... I am excited for this. I think it will be a great exercise and lots of fun! We had a pasta dish last evening for dinner-just ok. I had a salad with pepperoni and cheese and low fat dressing with a couple chips yesterday. Today I had kixs with strawberries and a cup of coffee. For lunch I will have a salad with pepperoni and cheese and low fat dressing, bottle of water and something else. I have decided if the place I need to go is less than a mile than I will start walking there. Besides church-as walking with heels would be bad. Dinner tonight- no plans. hmm ....Keep up the good work!

The good news... I have been to the gym twice and am planning on going this evening!! I think I am actually getting into a routine which is good. I am feeling very productive today, I have gotten a lot accomplished and am feeling really good about it :) Tonight is the longer dance class and I am sure I will be exhausted!! But for the last two classes I have attended, I did a mile walk on the treadmill first... in hope of loosening my legs before doing such a cardio class. Tomorrow, I am thinking about walking the dog and then doing a yoga class. Haven't tried yoga, but have heard it is really great....so we will see. I also would like to try out my new just dance and zumba on the wii. Food wise-have been doing ok. Not eating super healthy but not eating as much sweets and such. Drinking lots of water but it is really making me have to pee more...lame!!! Anyways wanted to post my success so far!!! :) yah to getting in shape!

Getting to it...

So... just got home and well the house needs a major makeover. Really going to try and fix that this week. Haven't really been working out...lame it's the beginning of the year. But i do have a goal. I am going to try and lose 10lbs by april 6. that gives me a little under 3 months. I think it's possible...it's like 3 ish lbs a month. I think by walking 3x a week and going to the gym I should be able to do it. Plus watching what I eat. Missing being home...but just the way it is. Tomorrow is a walk and maybe cardio throwdown. we will see... but now to find healthy recipes.

ok seriously

I have to start using this blog and actually start changing my life. As i sit here and downed a bag of cheetos and coffee... and plan to take a nap later. Blah !! Gotta get out of this cycle. For christmas I got a bike :) Yah but seriously have to start using it. My gym membership went up to 42 dollars a month! So I figure one session is 5 bucks. So I need to go atleast 9 times to make up for it. I got lots of workout stuff for christmas and I really do want to make working out part of my everyday life. I need to find something that i enjoy. Not to mention, I would really like to lose 10 pounds by September. I am going to start rationing our food for dinner, I know that sounds harsh but it helped a friend and her husband lose weight. So by portioning food we aren't eating as much and I want to have heathy snacks around the house. I think I am going to make a schedule! SO if it's a day like today-pouring down rain... I go to the gym and walk on the treadmill for an hour. Or attend a pilates class, I have to get better about going!! or play zumba on the wii. As long as I get my heart rate up for atleast a half hour everyday!!

For the new year, I plan to use this blog to track weekly meals and workouts-as well as start one of those glamour body programs. I have done it in the past but i plan to stick to it this year!! Ok so for the next 4 days... I need to decide what it is i will do for the new year.
