Looking Back
Filed under Day to Day by kristen at 8:32 am on Nov 30 2009
I cannot seem to get ahead when it comes to posting. I have all of these thoughts whirling around in my head and never have enough time to put them down.
I thought I would take a moment to look back over the past week.
Sunday-Turbo Jam here I come. So thankful to have it back.
Monday-Turbo Jam & Zumba. I am really enjoying Zumba but need to figure out a way to get this in to my workout at a different time. The class at our dinner time is not working with the girls.
Tuesday- Turbo Jam. Thankfully I have almost the whole set. So I am continuing to mix up the workouts.
Wednesday- Y is closed to no Zumba. Turbo Jam again. Can you see a pattern?
Thursday-Thanksgiving-I was determined to get in a workout. I am a fair-weathered runner. I got in a new Turbo Jam workout in. Did well in the eating department. No seconds at our Thanksgiving dinner. Very small piece of pumpkin pie and I left feeling proud of the job that I had done. No stuffed feeling for me.
Friday- More Turbo Jam. Too much chocolate to try to deal with some emotions. Knew better. Horrid mood. No excuse. I should of stopped but didn’t.
Saturday- I wanted to get a run in. We had a packed day so I had to be proactive. I asked Chris if he would mind if I went ot the Y on the way home from work. I knew that I would be less likely to run if I had to come home and change and then go back to the gym. Too easy to stay home. Too many excuses. So I took my running clothes, changed at work, and headed to the Y. My goal was a four mile run. I did it. Man, was that run hard. I wanted to stop so many times. I had to remind myself that it would be worth it.
Sunday (yesterday) my first day off from working out in 8 days. My body needed the rest after pushing myself on my run. It felt weird not to work out after working out for 7 days straight.
Today-I will at least get in a Turbo Jam or Biggest Loser workout. I would like to go to Zumba tonight but not sure. This is our only free evening this week so it will be hard to get there.
Now looking forward we. We have a super busy week. Chris & I leave for Vegas on Saturday before the crack of dawn. I am looking forward to getting away for a few days. SO many thanks to our family for their help in watching the girls. I have already talked to Chris about what workouts I can get in while we are gone. The majority of the hotels in Vegas charge to use their health clubs/ gyms. SO WRONG but I know they want people in the casinos and not working out. We will be getting in plenty of walking but I feel like that isnt going to be enough for me. I am going to take one of my Turbo Jam dvds with me. Chris said that he would go for a run with me on Monday morning or I could pay to use the health club. I would love to run the Vegas strip but I am not sure it is a wise decision with my eye problems. I have some depth perception problems which could cause a lot of problems stepping up and off all of the curbs. We are going to talk about it more but I will not be letting my workouts slide while I am gone.
Hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Have a great week. Move a little more.

Kristen, I am super-impressed. Of course, I am gaining every day and this weekend was jam packed for us. My ankles swelled liks balloons, partially because of too much sitting and walking, which sounds weird, but it is true. Partially because I didn’t get enough water, and my body held on to the fluid like a camel!
I know you are going to do great in Lost Wages…the casinos can just hold on until your workouts are done every day. The tables and machines will still be there when you get done. You will be just fine. Congrats on the good Thanksgiving eating and not going back for seconds. You are my hero.

Thankfully we aren’t in to gambling.
Alicia-You are pregnant with twins so I know you should be gaining weight.
Thanks. Hugs, Kristen
