A Record!

Since the kids are in School, I have consistently spent 3-4 mornings a week exercising and really love the gym, but the scale has yet to move!!! After and long weekend of way to much eating, I spent 63 minutes on the Elliptical for 5 1/2 miles and 600 calories!!! I was so excited!!! When I saw Keith later, he was discussing a need of one of his clients and said, “She is big, about your size.” All my hard work has yet to pay off!!!

Self-Control...

I have NO self-control!!! I got to work this morning at 8:45 and packed my breakfast and lunch, because, as usual, I was running late. By 9:13, I had eat all of my breakfast AND all of my lunch!!! I am not sure what I will do now for lunch?!?!

I Am Old!!!

I did not say that I am getting old...I am old. I am officially old!!! I have been contributing to the hair color industry for over 16 years!!! I discovered my first gray hair when I was only 21!!! I have been purchasing wrinkle cream ever since my laugh lines turned to crow's feet and age spots are as abundant as freckles on my hands and face. I have experienced sooo many birthdays, that my family has to do clever little things like number candles or a cupcake with one lonely candle representing the many years of my life...to keep the Fire Department from needing to intervene. I need a nap or major doses caffeine to keep up with the kids and make it through the day.

However, I have never really felt old...until today!!! I went to a Curcuit Class, even though I am still recovering from Monday's class. I was so sore, tired and weak, I thought I was going to get a hernea just carring my weights to my step. I slept through the ab portion of the workout and by the end of class, I thought ME was going to have to drive us home!!!

What happen to the days of abundant energy, running wild and free all day? Now, I need a nap after my morning cup of coffee!!!

Exercise & Goals...

I consider myself a goal oriented person. I like to make a list and mark off my accomplishments. I also try to be healthy and make wise choices in regards to my eating habits. However, I have some how I have failed. I have not worked out in 3 months and the scale continues to increase...I even asked Granny if her scale was broken!!! In addition to being a complete slacker when it comes to exercise, I have been a slacker PIG! I gained a pound a day over Spring Break (thanks Granny!!!) and can barely zip up my jeans!!!

Sooo, now that we have recovered from the stomach bug, which originally derailed me...over 2 1/2 months ago and have settled in our darling apartment...I have absolutely no other excuse not to exercise! I met a friend at the gym for Boot Camp. I had 911 on stand by, but managed to make it through the class (OK, I did not do all the spirits and probably only half of the crunches) without needing to be carried away in the ambulance...that was a huge accomplishment!!! I made it home and was standing in the kitchen stuffing my face, when I got sooo nausiated, I threw up...it was sooo weird! I did not even feel sick and feel totally fine now...I guess, I should just rejoice at the additional calories lost!!!
