Monday-Friday

Monday....I was going to YOGA, but it just did not work out. It was a very stressful weekend and just did not get the time right and Alexei is going to get out of school at 11:15 so this is going to put a damper on all week.

Tuesday...Did go to Pilates (although we had a substitute...hmmmm) and to Weights. This weights are for endurance they are not overload like lift on Thursdays. I should just enjoy it. It is weights...and those are always good for me. I just don't like all the jumping around.

Wednesday...I went walking for 35 min. This is such short time. I don't really think we do justice.

Thursday... I went to Lift and Pilates. This is my favorite day. I love the instructor. She is sooo good and time really goes fast.

Friday...I did not go to the gym today, I wasn't going to be able to go to the whole zumba class...Alexei's early day. Zut, I was really looking forward to it. But I also hate to pay for kids club, and not be there the whole time. OH WELL.

ZUMBA AND BIKE

Today CELEBRATING BOAN'S AND LAURA'S BIRTHDAY.

Went to zumba and it was sooooooo good. Did bicycle for 25 min. Hate not having the computer daily to factor in my moods. I am going to start writing what I eat. That will be frightful.

Monday-Thursday

We got all dressed up to go to the gym...but never got there. I decided we were going to go walking at the track and never made it. I haven't had a computer so I can't recall all the feelings and emotions I've had lately. And frustrations certainly.

Tuesday....Was pilates and weights. It was a very very good class. I felt sore and not very flexible. There are some days that even though you have been steady going to the gym, it certainly feels not.

Wednesday...We ended up walking 2 miles. I wanted to catch yOGA class, but realize I couldn't ...had to pick up Alexei. BUMMER. At least I took the boys to disney and we were there for 5 hours, and that is always a lot of walking, most welcoming. I love love love to go and walk, even if it is strolling sometimes, although with the Boys we are always running to catch another ride.....

Thursday that is today....and we are leaving for weights and pilates. It should be a great day! I love Thursdays.

Thursday....glorious

Thursday did go to the gym. I have no computer to record stuff...so this is way past behind.

Friday was zumba and it was excellent. Judy wasn't there last Friday so it was good to have her back.

Saturday I ventured to YOGA it was excellent. Geri is amazing, and I love what yOGA IS doing to my mind. It is excruciating hard and you can visibly see and feel all the "extra pounds" and makes it very humbling to practice and realize all the WASTE and energy carrying all that fat around. So far, I am still on a war of rebelliousness with myself and food. I don't over eat, BUT I would definitely have to add more salads and veggies to increase my calorie take on the good things, fried things don't go so far in nutrition and are great accumulators of calories....ohhhhhh THIS I know, why I don't follow through....with myself.

Excellent Tuesday

I just love tuesdays. Today I was earlier to Pilates, I decided to leave SET 10 minutes early so I can have some steam, as opossed as missing 15 min of Pilates. Judy is extraordinary. She noticed today that I look slimmer. That is what she said....oh my that was the best compliment I have had in a ton of time. I don't see it, and I haven't lost it in pounds nor inches where it counts, but I do feel my CORE stronger and slimmer in a sense, I guess if i wasn't sooo busty! I could actually fit in my nice blouses by now. This is ridiculous I must put more efffort in the eating part, so that my whole scheme here is to fit in my nice 12 size clothes. Never mind the 8'ts or 10s....just fit in my blazers, and blouses and nice nice linnen pants. I have such wonderful wardrobe. I need to feel inspired more so to do. This little remark by Judy, has made me rethink, that even after all these months, something is happening. something. My posture is definately improved and I feel it. I JUST NEED TO START SEEING MORE RESULTS, and for that i must commit myself to do so.

Set was grueling. I tried to lift to add 2.5 pounds to each side, and I did it, however, it was heavy and uncomfortable. I don't know if I should continue or cry baby and go back. Maybe it is time to really sweat through it which I definately did.

Monday no go....

Why is it that these days are becoming a no go? I couldn't go to the track because it is still cold, and Jorvik still has a runny nose! All my intention was to go to YOGA, but we left too late, there were too many unsettled things...it didn't work out. It was not worth going and paying 3 dollars for just one hour. I should reexamine this, because even though I take advantage of their 2 hours for 3 dollars, I should sometimes take the one hour for the results I will feel. ......

A tough tough saturday

Today I decided to go to zumba right here by the house, I hate that gym, because it is very very crowded, small, low ceilings, and stinky. Well, the desire to loose some calories won me over...so I got there and did pretty good. I always find myself feeling that I am really spoilt with Judy...and I mean, these are younger gals...I guess there is nothing like having experience for something. It made me appreciate all the hard work that they have put in throughout the years to get the caliber of their mastery in teaching. It was good, I was excited to se GERI for Yoga, but she did not show. Instead there was this quiet Asian girl, well well well, not that i judged, but the subs I have had for yOGA, have not been very impressive at all...so it was blown away by this quiet girl. Oh my gosh, you would think your abdomen was going to disappear. Soo tough and good. I am always amazed by the people who practice yoga, how strong they become, it is no feat to be in control of your body through these positions, and I feel foolish on one hand having to do this with soo much belly and extra stuff...fat, but on the other hand can't help by be admired by my determination to still do the practice by carrying soo much weight. What I mean, is that you are holding the pose, and if you are holding your weight to do so, if you have soo much extra weight, that is admirable in away, because it is a very very very tough thing to do with your own 'supposed right weight' as opposed to having more. I felt invigorated and good, after feeling tired and done. It was a great work out, but it made me think of what I need to do to fulfill my goals. Eat healthier! Eat more. I have to eat my three meals and 3 snacks, this is how I lose weight, and I am not doing it. I must try harder.

Today was our monthly anniversary, and Alf did nothing especial! snif.

Judy without Zumba is really not Zumba

Today I was soo excited to go to class, since I miss Judy on Tuesday...but she did not show. The sub was actually quite good, but a couple of notches down on speed. It was a good work out and she was good and pretty and lovely lovely moves. I wished I looked like her, slim, darkbrown curly mid-length hair, and oh well, fit. Geeesss this is when I start debating wether to go and get a chocolate brown color box, and/or to make my appointment for my highlights. Something will have to give and soon. I walked also for 38 min. It was good and then a bit of steam. OHHH YEAH, there is nothing like relaxing after working your body hard.

ps...One thing I really liked from Zumba was a belly dance combined with something you would find in Thailand or maybe in Arabia...It was hard on my muscles, but very rewarding.

YEAH DORIS

Finally it has been at least a week or two since I had taken a class with Doris, My Thursdays are sooo good. She is just an exceptional athlete and sooo happy to have her every week. Her friend subbed, but it wasn't merely as good. So it is good to know when you have a good thing. Lift was awesome. I really love and get enthralled with this class. The whole 50 min are go go go go. It was nice.

Then Pilates, well, just keep doing them, and I am feeling a lot more flexible and I feel good. The bad part is that I am sooo totally aware of all the good benefits I could have been gaining if I had adjusted my eating. It is imperative to do so, because the results could actually be breathtaking. Why am I sooo hesitant to be disciplined? I don't have a problem (obviously I do). I guess I have to figure out my resistance and rebellious behavior.

Wednesday just a walk

Today I just walked and not even fast...with the kids for about 40 min. This whole week so far, has been such a mess. Feel upset for not being able to do what I wanted. Oh hhhhhh well. At least I do have a habit formed!

MONDAY/TUESDAY

These days, I feel very sad and upset. First on Monday, I did everything right, I dressed to exercised, and then found out Jorvik was being difficult, which made me loose the "window time" to go. I was upset, because I was feeling soo ready and energized. The rest of the day was just blah...and never got to go to the track at least...the weather was really cold, and these kids for some STRANGE reason, still have stuffy noses!

Then on Tuesday...OHHHHHHH MY, one of my most favorite days, I left with barely the time to get there, and then when we got there, JORVIK had to go pee and pup, and on top of that, I did not have my TENNIS SHOES.! I could have gone to half of my Pilate's class, but then what? for the other 20 min, because after the whole ordeal, most of the two hour block was gone. I felt frustrated sad, upset, and unequivocally surprised, that all these feelings came about by 'NOT EXERCISING.!'

Well, at least I am on the right frame of mind and exercise for that, no need to work on my brain and on the food I don't want to let go!
