Stay Strong, Sexy and Sassy!! Take care, Kathy 129 whew finally out of the stinkin 130's

Hi Kathy, The step aerobic class yest. didn't bother me (I'd been doing it a couple weeks), but the upper body weight workout (hadn't done for quite awhile) made me SO SORE today from the waist up  that it was almost laughable!   Today I did cardio for 40 min. and lower body weight training for about 20 min., so I figure tomorrow I'll be sore all over!  I used to faithfully do all of the above, so it goes to show how lazy my muscles have become.

Later this afternoon, I walked to the post office, which added a little less than 2 miles to my day.  Tomorrow I am going to my first yoga class.  I'm nervous!  But I'm determined to get back in the exercise routine and am trying to mix it up so I can stay motivated and get some of this weight back off. Hope you are feeling better than yesterday!

WoooHoooo!  I exercised TWO days in a row...it's a freakin miracle!!  I've had a hard time getting motivated and finding the time since our baby (10 mos.) was born...so this is a major feat! Anyway, on Tuesday I went for a 3 mile walk with my daughter and the baby (in stroller mostly).  After dinner, my 15 year old daughter plopped in front of the TV, and I got after her to shut the TV off, get outside and get some fresh air and exercise.  Suddenly a light came on in my head that I should be saying the same thing to myself (although I wasn'****ching tv)!!   For weeks I've laid in bed at night reviewing my day to see where opportunites for exercise or "me time" may have existed, but I missed them.  As a working mom of 4 chiildren, I really struggle with this!  Anyway, I'm so proud of myself for FINALLY recognizing one of those moments WHEN it was present, so I could tap into it!!  When  suggested we go for a walk, my daughter got excited and suggested we go the 3 mile route we used to do everyday, but haven't in a long time. The other good thing is that  I also had a good eating day yesterday.....I'm calling it my "pre-timeout" de-carbing plan......the only carbs I had all day were a handful of fat free pretzels and 3 strawberries.  I lost 3 lbs.!! Here's to continued better days!! Kathy
