Day 3: You guessed it–yoga!

Ok…so I started this every day workout thing on the most busy 3 days of the most busy week of my month. I literally haven’t been getting home until LATE, have not been having time between work and having to be somewhere, and haven’t been able to pull off getting up BEFORE work, because I was up so late the night before.  So I did one more night of yoga, which is relaxing, but also painful. I’m so tight and out of shape, so most of the stretches are awkward and uncomfortable. Oh well.

Tomorrow will be busy, but a little less so. I won’t be going to Zumba after all, because I got called with a request to work over the weekend because there are NO therapists available, so I’m giving them a half day.  So, I’ll sleep in a little, get up and do 20 minutes of kickboxing, go to work for a few hours, and then go to church for the worship team, and then to my grandma’s for a little family gathering.  They usually get take-out for that Sat. evening gettogether, so I don’t yet have a plan for how I’ll eat.  I’ll have to take it as it comes depending on where they get food from.

But, FYI, I am going to splurge here in a few minutes. I’ve been really good today, even though I haven’t journaled and tallied all my food…I’ve kept it pretty clear in my head. I may be a tiny bit over, but I have an allowance of extra points I can use, and exercise adds points, so I’m not in the red yet.  But, in 40 minutes (12:30 am), I’m going to meet my husband on his ‘lunch’ break, at Denny’s.  I’m really in the mood for pancakes. So, I’m planning on getting whole wheat ones, with sugar free syrup.  I should get oatmeal, or something, but this will be my one indulgence for the weekend.  I may get eggs or turkey sausage, so I can balance the carbs with protein…but that’s added calories, so I’m debating.    Maybe I’ll do MORE than 20 minutes of exercise tomorrow, so I can get more points to balance this treat!

Love you, friends. Keep up the good work, and I’m loving the communication.  You’re doing great…if we get a rhythm now, we will have an easier time keeping the rhythm through the holiday season.  That will be a challenge!  But we’ll gear up, have a plan, and be accountable.  Maybe we can get through Thanksgiving and all the pre-Christmas stuff and actually lose weight up until Christmas!
