Let's Roll It All Into One, Shall We?

* I admit to not working out much this past week. I've been to my Zumba class, went for a few walks but haven't made a concerted effort to really get back into it.

* Having said that, I haven't been snacking...much. A little here and there but nothing crazy which is a good thing. Snacking at night is lethal I say!

* My printer is out of ink so my Motivation wall is well, motivationaless. Last night my daughter wanted to print something out and we told her we were out of ink. She proceeded, unbeknown st to us, to leave reminders about Ink in various places around the house such as in my book, on my lamp, on her Dad's lamp and on my closet. I had a very good chuckle about that, even a LOL for realz like and told her so this morning how amused I was.

* Soccer and scheduling is driving me to drink or at least to stress out. I'm a planner and a scheduler and I *hate* not knowing what my schedule is like. I know its a minor thing, but its one of those things that really, really bothers me and stressed me out! We don't have a soccer schedule currently for our daughter who plays indoor soccer. We had the next 2 game sked but that was it. So this upcoming Saturday was going to be a busy day for us with a soccer game in the morning, my son's basketball game at noon, an out of town birthday party and then soccer evaluations at 6. I had it all worked out and then....BAM, they changed our soccer game right smack dab when the birthday party was to start so needless to say, we've cut that out of our day and my daughter is quite disappointed.

* I have been de-cluttering. I've gotten rid of a whole whack of old magazines, some old VHS movies that really if I ever want to see again, I'll just buy or rent the Blu-Ray, some bath toys and other things! Feels great to let some stuff go!

* Alas today is Wednesday and I almost forgot to weigh in this morning. I'm happy to report that I am down 0.9 lbs from 123.5 to 122.6! Check out how everybody else is doing over at the Sisterhood!

Boo-Yeah, Just Call Me Normal!

Normal? What's normal anyways?

Well let me tell you, after 2 weeks without weighing in, I was a little nervous. I was sick last week so didn't work out much and wasn't generally in the best of shape so didn't keep on track with my health goals and such.

Before Christmas, I was doing a great job of getting up in the morning to do my workouts but I just can't get back on track with that. I don't know if its the darkness in the morning let's not talk about my late nights, that has nothing to do with it. or what but it seems to be difficult to get up. But I'm back at work this week, started Zumba, am drinking more water and feel good overall.

Then this morning its the bleary eye stumble downstairs, *^$#(%^& there's not 3 batteries in the damn board, stumble back upstairs to grab 2 more, CLICK! All right, back on track! After the last weigh in fiasco, my lines are all wrong, my weight goal is skewed, its lovely, but alas, the news is good!! Somehow, someway I am down 2.2 lbs and....*and* the best part is I am now in the Normal BMI range!!!! Did you hear that? Normal, stinkin' BMI!! Woo-hoo I tell you!! I am very happy about this.

So for those playing along at home:

Dec 30, 2009 - 125.7
Jan 12, 2010 - 123.5
for a difference of -2.2lbs!!

And on top of that, I have homework again? Ooh, what class am I taking, you might ask? Ah, yeah, that would be no class except for those hookers over there at Shrinking Jeans. I need to make a Motivation Wall for my Monday Project and while I already had some plans for a scrapbook page, only some inklings mind you, I have no idea what else to do with this. Maybe something will come to me at my crop on Saturday!

100 Miles

Another challenge, I know but this one I can't turn down and I mean to sign up last week and forgot. Its the 100 Miles Fitness Challenge! Click on the link to take you to the official rules. Its pretty simple. The goal is to walk/run 100 miles in 3 months! Other exercise counts too but only running or walking is mile for mile.

C'mon, who can't do 100 miles in 3 months? Thinking of joining and need a place to keep track of your mileage? C'mon over to Daily Mile and friend me! We can motivate each other.

Speaking of exercise, tonight is my first Zumba class of this session! Am looking forward to it, especially since a good friend registered with me and we're hanging out together for a bit afterwards!
