I'm definitively an emotional eater. I gained 20 lbs after one messy breakup.
It was a GREAT weekend. Lots of fun. Scrapbooking with my bestest buddies and dinner with co-workers for our very belated Christmas party.
1st I did an overnight scrapbook extravaganza with my close friends. One of them is a committed M-W-F gym go-er and I tagged along with her. And boy did I work up a sweat! 20 minutes on the bike and I almost did 10 miles. 20 more minutes on the treadmill and 10 of that was a level 6 incline. I was stinky and smelly and so proud of myself.
And can I say how much I LOVE wearing my sz XL Disney tees!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
2nd was dinner at Shady Maple Smorgasboard. That was tonight. I could have done better. I could have done sooooooo much worse.
Tomorrow I sweat!
Yep admitting and recognizing your problem is the first step in those 12 step programs I think. Our addiction is just with food.Acknowledging this is the one of the steps in our "battle". Just have to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms. Unfortunately I tend to figure that out AFTER I have done the damage!
Congrats on Zumba-ing!!! I have never done it. I bought the dvds awhile ago...started to watch one and was like 'um, no...not right now anyway' I was too embarrassed to do it with DH in the house. Of course he's always in the house so I guess I should get over it and give it a shot again. I used to do lots of at home DVDs before I met DH. My favorite was Tae Bo! I should get back into doing that one! It was fun!
157 days until my August trip....... Gotta keep moving!
I "Zumbaed" with oldest DD tonight at the gym. It was, shall we say, interesting. I enjoyed the parts I got the hang of. When I couldn't follow I got a bit frustrated. I was complimented by others in the class -- they say I did really well for my very first class. Definitely harder than it looks. I was mostly scared that I would not make it to the end. It is about an hour long. I may not have done everything "full power", but I made it through, I DID IT!
(even if I looked really silly at times....)
Congrats!
Happy Birthday!
