Saturday

I set the alarm for 5 am this morning. I know, on a Saturday!? Right. I missed Thursdays workout, remember? So this morning I knew I wanted a little lighter workout. I went onto slimtree.com (which has some great free workout videos, BTW!) and did 5- about 5 minute long videos. It added up to 27 minutes. I did one of them twice. I did pilates, aeorobics, abs, kickboxing and a thighs exercise. I have to say I had a lot of fun! I definitely want to try out pilates, kickboxing and aerobics more. So I burned 160 calories, not a workout like running but I like my 2 of the 5 days to be more strength training type exercises and these seemed to be like that- so off to a good start!

Since this is the end of my workout week, I thought I would share what my heart rate monitor says:

Calories burned: 1018

exercises: 5

Time: 1 hour and 54 minutes

Not too bad for the time being. I’m happy with that. Eventually I will up my workouts, but for now this is working. This morning I was back down to my lowest weight- now it’s for keeping it off and going lower…!

9:00- On the way to WI, I had coffee w/ my pumpkin spice creamer, 2 clementines and a cheese stick- total of 2.5 points.

12:00- I’m not sure what to say about lunch. I only had one helping of everything except for 2 helping of apple salad, but how harmless is that. :) I’m not sure where to go for my points so I’m just going to try to watch it for the day and not eat a lot. I did have a small piece of cake for the birthday party. I feel a little overwhelmed…I ate a few pieces of cheese and salami w/ crackers and that makes me feel guilty. Need to stay away from the food sitting out- DANGEROUS!

5:00- My sister in law and I went shopping at an outlet mall here. I got a new skirt and a new shirt. All for about $4 total! I was really happy about that! It felt really good to walk and the air was crisp. So got a little bit of exercise in there too!

6:30- I really feel terrible. I ate too much for supper. We had left overs. I had another piece of cake and other munchies…I hate this feeling. It’s another reminder why I don’t want to go down this road again. Let’s hope for a better day tomorrow. No more to eat tonight though!!!
