Re: Health and Fitness Thursday
Absolutely nothing. Unless you count shopping and putting those stupid undergarments on. I was going to start Chalean on Monday but we got home really late and then my grandma came down so it is not even on my radar right now, sadly.
Other than walking on the beach (which actually requires some effort) we havent done much. Surprisingly I havent been too bad with the eating since we have been here. It hasnt been great but not as bad as I thought it would be.
I have been doing great...other than going to Gloria's last night and inhaling two Mojitos, chips and black bean dip, and a HUGE Chimichanga covered in cheesy goodness....
Other than THAT, I'm doing great! hahaha
AFter the Big D half on Sunday, I was sore so today will be my first day back at the gym. Turns out the shoes I was wearing weren't helping me stop my ankle roll and I have the start of post tib tendonitus. The shoes did get me to run correctly but I wore them too long. Going to dr on Monday to officially get checked out.
So yea for new running shoes next week!
I've been eating better all week. Been to Body Pump as usual and even went on a short run yesterday.
Progress...at least.
Gaining 2 pounds. For no reason.
Diet has been fine, workouts fine. No idea. Very frustrating.

Just do it!
Wow, go Stephie!
Hi! Your baby is super cute - that is a really cute picture in your siggy. How do you like hot yoga?
Hi Shanda!!!! So glad to see you! Kira is ADORABLE! I can't believe she's so big!
Do you go to Sunstone? I go to the Flower Mound and Southlake locations. I'm doing good to make it 3x a week, but I love it.
How is your school year going?
Well, this is my routine every week, plus walking at lunch, but I'm not seeing results. I probably need to add more cardio but I'm just too dang tired!

Just do it!
Cardio is my vice too... so I'm working running in as much as I can. I'm just exhausted lately too though, so its hard.
Have you tried increasing your weight? I do 3x per week and I have to increase even if its a little baby weight fairly frequently or it gets easy.
I just upped my weight once I could get through the series without stopping. I've probably only been doing it a month or two and it's still hard for me! I should probably add cardio on Tuesday and Thursday but it's kickboxing or cycle and I am drenched when I leave the gym, then I have to come straight to work. P.U.

This week I did:
Mon - EA Active 2 for Wii - 45 min / Weigh training arms - 30 min, Tue - 45 minutes walk/run, Wed - EA Active 2 for Wii - 45 min / Weight training legs - 30 min
I am planning:
Today - 45 minutes walk/run, Friday - EA Active 2 for Wii - 45 min / Weight training - 30 min, Saturday - walk/run - 45 min, Sunday - rest day
Haven't broken 1300 calories all week, keeping each day below 35 grams of fat.
Hey Tiffany do you really like body pump? I was thinking of doing it, but the 24 hour by my house is jam packed after work. Its alittle intimidating!
I love hot yoga!! My OB wouldn't let me do it while I was pregnant, so I had to go to the yoga at 24 hour, and it just wasn't the same.
Hi Shannon! Yes, I go to Sunstone, i usually go to the Frisco studio, but I will sometimes go to Plano or McKinney.
School year is pretty good, I am hoping my job doesn't get cut. Our district has like plan A, B, C and D and one of them includes cutting reading improvement.
How's your year, are you still teaching at two schools?
Valerie - I love it! I took the classes at my old gym a few years ago and I was beyond excited when it came to 24 Hr. I've been to 24 LIFT, 24 Set, Bootcamps, and the LA Fitness weight classes too and nothing works for me like Body Pump does. As for the crowd, I usually get there early and set up my spot where I want it. (Nothing upsets me more than when someone takes "my" spot, haha)
I also love Hot Yoga! I never got to do it because the closest Sunstone was 15 minutes away and I just didn't have time. I need to see if there is one close to my house now.
Tiff and Stephie, y'all are making me feel bad being so overachieving.
And whoa with the cute baby siggy. She is precious.
That's all I have to add to this thread.
Yeah, except... I wish I actually LOOKED like I was overachieving. At least I'm healthy and in shape? lol
I think getting where you want to be - shape/health wise is hard, but I think maintaining it is super hard.
I want to try hot yoga, now.
Ugh, Tiff, me too! I have to get to the gym over 30 minutes early because all the women set up for their friends who aren't even there yet! It makes me so mad. And I battle every day with one other girl for my "spot." (I usually win though, heh.)

This week I am doing much better! Completed 2 days of my Week 4 C25K runs without much effort. I have been cooking healthy meals all week and my DH is actually enjoying the food
Need to lift weights tonight, I have been slacking on my weight lifting.
That baby picture is too cute!
Stephie - I hate that! Our gym finally started hoarding the passes behind the counter so people could not sign their friends up (our classes max out every time). I usually go set up my "spot" and go do a little warm up cardio for 20 minutes.
Lacey - Sunstone has an introductory 10 days for $10 deal so you could try it out. That is what I did the first time...you should try it!
Oh awesome. I think I will. Do you have to be good at yoga? I've only done beginner's yoga a couple of times. I am by no means a pro.
