Wed 8/24 - end of day

my goodness, what a day.  busy busy busy.  Had gr8 workout w/ Beverly.  Lifted some weights.  Fit test which i was really dreading but actually did pretty well.  YAY me!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Had a long talk w/ GF.  It was nice.  I miss the girls.  Got a pedi today.  My toes look very cute.  Korall colored my hair.  Hopefully it will look good.  Had normal Wed night cookout.  Don out to dinner w/ guys.
Stuck pretty good to meal plan.  It's difficult at night tho.  I seem to want to snack a lot. 
Ok tired and gonna close for today.

Wed 8/24

A new day another chance for success.  I am excited about today's workout.  So let's just get it out of the way:
Exercise:
1/2hr Dance Jam
Training w/ Beverly
Fit assessment - YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man this LifeTime Fitness has just about everything I am interested in on their website.  They even have a meal plan.  It's a little limited but you could work it if you wanted.  And daily exercise routines.  Completely takes the thinking out of your routine.  Just what I'm looking for right now. 
Breakfast:
egg beaters w/ 1 whole egg, cheese and hot sauce
1c mandarin oranges
diet snapple
I don't have to work today but I seem very busy somehow.  Looking forward to gettin' movin' this morning. 
The storms woke me up around 5amish and I wasn't able to get back to sleep.  Now however, I think I could take a nap but going to get a move on. 
later

Tues - end of day

Another pretty successful day.  I do notice however I am starting to take a bite of this or just a little of that.  A few tortilla chips or just one potato chip.  Testing the pasta before dinner.  Also, no fruit today.  This is the beginning of the end.  Tomorrow will make a more concentrated effort to not do those things.  I am also trying no to drink while eating. 
Followed my meal plan pretty good w/ the exception of those few slips.  So nothing major. 
I am starting to utilize protein bars again.  My favorite: Zone Bar Chocolate Carmel Cluster.
Exercise plan today:
Walk Club
Dance Jam - so out of my realm
pleased to say I accomplished both. 
I cancelled my membership to McConnell today.  I can't say that I am sorry at this time.  I didn't debate it or think oh maybe this is a mistake.  I really don't think McConnell was really meeting my needs any longer.  The only thing I have enjoyed there this past year was boxing class.  Other than that it has felt like a chore to get there.  Actually there were mornings I decided to stay in bed instead of get up and going on.  There are people Iwill miss there. 
I have to figure out how to import some things to this blog that I want to share. 
Well, tired tonight.  Headed to bed.

Tues - mid day

Awesome walk w/ Colleen who is facilitator of the "Walk Club".  We walked the outer square of Easton and I burned about 415 calories.  Colleen introduced me to the stretching machine and I think I will use it since I am lack about stretching on my own.  I am planning on going to Dance Jam tonight.  I hope I catch on a bit more tonight.
Lunch:
LC Rice and Black Beans w/ hot sauce and some crushed up tortilla chips.
Stuck at my computer working the rest of this afternoon.  This will be a struggle for me as I feel like I need to snack while I'm here.
I'm gonna have to call my GF Steph and ask her to teach me how to do a body roll.  If feels like i'm doing it but i'm not seeing me do it.  i'm wondering if it could be because of this big belly that i can't see it.  Oh well,
on to work.

Tues 8/23

Hoping today is going to be another successful day.  I have my meal plan for the day and will just update as I eat thru out the day. 
Breakfast:
egg beaters w/ cheese and hot sauce
2 links vegie sausage
Exercise:
Walk club
Dance jam
I have a 4hr work day today so better get started. 
later.

end of day

I am considering day 2 a success.  Even tho I was displeased w/ my weight and measurements I feel I am moving forward.  I torched 925calories today between working out w/ Beverly and Zumba and didn't overeat. 
Tired now.  Tomorrow then.

mid day

Today first official day as LifeTime Fitness member.  Very happy about that.
First real work out w/ Beverly.  It was challenging but doable for me.  I hated Jack's workouts.  They were so boring.  Even tho worked out w/ Beverly today, planning on going to Zumba tonight.
Very dissappointed in my weight and measurements.  I have let myself go to fat again. 
Need to make that phone call to McConnell to cancel my membership.  Hope I don't have to make a trip all the way in to cancel.
Again, was able to walk by the free cookies at Kroger.  Forgot again to by my sweet potato for dinner.  Oh well, will have to substitute.
Gotta get workin'.
