Now We're Rollin'!

So I overcame my fear and joined the gym yesterday!  Instead of doing treadmill work, I went into the smaller studio and practiced my Zumba routines for 45 minutes or so.  Fabulous!  Taking today off as it's a scheduled off day.  BUT...I did get a complimentary training session with my membership, so I have a session with Brenton tomorrow at noon.  I'm a bit scared, but ya know what?  If I like him and it goes well, I might fork out the money to work with him every Friday.  It could be the accountability that I need.  I did get all 3 workouts in yesterday and had my planned dinner...I also had a cupcake and 3 slices of salami.  But that was ok since I got in so many workouts.  I believe I'll be joining WW and starting meetings this Saturday at 7:30am.  Tab already signed up, so I'll have a buddy there.  Maybe total structure is what I need...?


Tonights Workout:  Today will be a true off day, as I have plans this evening.  But laughing burns calories, and I will be doing quite a bit of that!

Tonights Dinner:  Kel and I are going to dinner before the show at Hilarities.  I'll be conscious of my choices however, and stay in check.  Fingers Crossed!!!

Great...Sniffles

This is NOT what I need.  I feel a cold coming on.  I don't like being sick...at all.  And it certainly won't help my excercising cause at all.  I woke up this morning with resolve to go join that gym today.  I even brought my runners and a tshirt.  And now I'm feeling like chickening out.  bah.  It's the thought of walking in alone and not knowing what to expect and the fear of looking like an idiot.  My usual vices.  I want to wait until 2:00ish so as to avoid the lunch crowd.  Hopefully it will work.  I'm going to try to find a phone number to call, so at least I'm not walking in totally blind. *fingers crossed*

bad eating last night...more salami and a bowl of cereal.  What the hell is that all about?  I did do the entire Kendall workout with Lindy Lou, and I did feel much better.  Had no word from Kel yesterday...I'm glad I was only cautiously optimistic.  I swear, he gives then he takes away.  It'll be interesting to see how Piper and Gretchen treat him in Toledo.  They don't seem to be as forgiving or understanding as the peeps...lol.

Tonight's Workout:  Hopefully the treadmill at work, a quickie 20 minute toner routine with Lindy Lou, and then my tap class.  Busy night!

Tonight's Dinner:  Definitely the salmon and asparagus.  I'll throw in some Peaches for the hell of it too.

All is NOT lost!

I had a lovely long lunch with Kel yesterday.  He brought me roses and a card, with a hand written note in the card that again renewed my faith in our relationship.   However, I will remain cautiously optimistic at best, as this has bitten me in the butt too many times before.  He's now trying to work his schedule so he can drive to Toledo with us for Alyson's very first dance competition.  This is very exciting news to me...and Alyson was psyched about it also!  That would mean she will have all 4 parental units supporting her, as Dallas and Heather are also going up for the weekend.  Dallas will take them home and keep them until Kel and I get back from his sister's wedding.  This also means that Kel and I can leave as early as we want on that Sunday, because Alyson's competition pieces will be done, and Dallas will be there already.  We can catch an earlier flight, and it gives us more options.  This is all very very good news!

My weight is holding steady, which means there's no gain...so I'll be satisfied with that for now.  Last night ended with some salami slices for dinner and Apple Jacks as a late snack.  Very bad.  But Zumba was awesome as usual!

Tonights Workout:  Um...I dunno yet.  Maybe work the entire Kendall DVD.  I've totally slacked on the treadmill.  I just can't get the 'oomph' to get on it.  Thinking of getting a small membership (24 bucks a month) at the local gym, and join Tab for a lunchtime treadmill jaunt.  Again with the buddy thing, and it wouldn't interfere with my home schedule at all.  This could work.

Tonight's Dinner: Um...I dunno that either.  Nothing is really sounding yummy right now.  Maybe Salmon and asparagus, since I went to the store last night!

If you held on to my head, my body would keep spinning!

I feel like I'm going in about a ka-jillion different directions.  I am emotionally and mentally exhausted.  Blah.  However, my ex husband has done some kind of turn around and is becoming quite the dad.  He's making more of an effort to help me out, and to be with the girls than ever before.  Now I worry that his house will become the stable household...yikes!  I just found out that my insurance will re-imburse for weight watchers.  I lost a butt load of weight on that before, and now I have a co-worker who wants to join me.  Buddies always make things easier.  So I think I'll try that train again.  I'm still very gung ho about getting my Zumba certification.  I've lost a couple more since the last post, and updated my ticker up there, so hope is not completely lost.  I still haven't given up on Kelly, and I don't think he's given up yet either, he's just scared to try.  Which is totally exasperating!

Tonight's Workout:  It's Monday, which means ZUMBA!!!   I really wish I could do it more than once a week!

Tonight's Dinner:  I was actually thinking about Turkey Taco Salad...we'll see how that pans out.
