The last four days






   Well the last four days have been a little challenging at work. I have just let eating skip my mind, so eating later than I usually do. Breakfast has been a breeze. Lunch was challenging. I was able to take to school these veggie burgers. Oh my word. I love them. I wish I would of tried them sooner.
    My workout has been good. I however, did not workout on Wednesday. I practice volleyball with some teachers on Tuesday. I did volleyball for a hour and 45 minutes. Now that was not probably wise, because at the end of the day my body was sore. My gluts were so sore, I was having trouble laying on my back because my tush hurt. I didn't realize I had not worked those muscles in a long time. So the reason I did not do Wednesday was the soreness in my tush. 
     Another thing is I tried to do Yoga. I don't believe that is happening. I have no flexibility and just sat and watched the Yoga workout. I need to figure out how to get flexibility in my wrist. I also need to figure out how to help my knees. I need to get a yoga mat for workouts. I realize age is not helping me out right now, but I am not letting that get me down. I am going to continue on my journey. I can't wait to see what is going to come my way.

Let the Weekend Begin or Not !!



        Well Friday morning started off normal as usually. I got up to do Pilates for my workout. Let me tell me just kill me next time. Oh my word, you don't realize how out of shape you are when you are doing exercises. I thought I was at the end of being in somewhat shape, but my my my. I need to remember not to lie to myself.
        I knew I was going to be going out Friday evening so I really watched my intake of certain colors. I think I did a great job. The only thing I failed at was the water in take. It was just one of those days when you don't want to be around anyone. After yesterdays events, I just wanted the day to be done. I went to dinner with a friend and was very cautious of how much I was eating and portion size. I did have one or two glasses of wine. I was very cautious of that too, but then started to regret it. I feel like I did great with my food intake. I am overly excited about this because before I would of had more and felt unsatisfied. I made sure to drink a lot of water during my dinner to help with that. The dinner was yummy. So Friday night success with friends was a good night for me.
      Now Saturday morning is my workout time. I was back to Cardio. I was able to do that, but still feel the burn in my thighs. Hey but that is ok, I rather have the burn then no burn at all. My workout burn is telling me I am doing what I need to do. I am starting to enjoy my workouts. I may not be the best at them right now, but I can tell you I feel good after I do them.
       Saturday was tournament time with Donovan. I had to pack my snacks because the snack bar does not have anything that I could eat. I took apples, oranges, hummus, and carrots. It would of been great if I ate any of them, but I didn't. I drank very little water, and it was not because I didn't want to. The whole reason for little water intake is because they had disgusting port a potties at the game, and there was no way no how I was using them.  Besides I had no Germ X for my hands. I waited. I did good. When the game was over I went straight home. You would of thought I would go home and scour the pantry. Nope. I waited for dinner. Believe it or not the dinner was enough. It was baked salmon, steamed brocolli with grated cheese. I was so fully I didn't have room from anymore food. I know I didn't get the required amount of containers. I need to definitely work on that for next weekend. I usually do great during the week with school. I am hoping when school lets out I can do just as well. It will definitely be a test.
       Sun went well. I was very cautious of what I ate and what I did. So another day down in the books. I couldn't be happier.
