1 week.

I have made it through 1 week today, Hurray! I made it 10 mins longer today than I did the first day. So I hope that means I've made some progress.

Friday

Can't. move. my. arms. oh-boy!

I might be crazy....

Todd talked me into doing the P90x. Crazy! I have been SO sore the past few days! I am on day 3, only...wait I don't want to know how many days left...I can't make it all the way through the video yet. They are averaging about 60 min each, but I do make it through about 1/2 hour. The first day my legs were so tired after the 1/2 I could barley walk into the kitchen to make breakfast.

We have 2 weddings this summer, and I want to look fantastic! I want to feel awesome and I want to look awesome. I can do anything for 90 days right?! Just in time for the 1st wedding I will be all toned and ready for swimsuit season, at least I better be!

Healthy ramblings....

I am trying to eat more healthy. More fruits, veggies, less sweets, snacking, and portion control. I think it's working. As far as lbs being lost....don't know. But I do know that I am feeling better about myself and it gives me a goal.

We bought a new refrigerator (out of necessity) and I have found it makes a difference. No really. It helps. It's bigger so I can fit more veggies and fruits in it, and they stay fresh longer. It has an ice maker and a water filter so I drink more ice cold yummy water.

Does anyone else get tired of deciding what to fix each meal? I don't get tired of eating lol, I get tired of deciding WHAT to eat. Trying to eat healthier takes work. I stare at my pantry deciding what to eat that is worth the calories and seems healthy. I am not a huge rice cake and whole wheat cracker fan. So I am working really hard adjusting to grabbing a few carrots or grapes or something for a snack.

I am also looking forward to summer. I want to figure out a way to build a small garden box for my back yard. I want fresh zucchini, maybe some tomatoes for salsa, maybe some peppers...uhmmm I'll have to work on that.

Ok rambling done. What are some of your favorite healthy meals?

Zumba Review

I bought Zumba for the Wii yesterday. I was SO excited to try it. It definitely is not working out with my ladies at Zumba class. But I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.

I wasn't sure how well it would work being a game and having to keep track of a paddle, but it worked pretty well at keeping my heart rate up. It comes with a belt that you put on and the remote goes inside. I wore the paddle on my back (as opposed to it resting on my hip, in front or holding it) and that seemed to keep it out of the way.

I started out on the intermediate 45 min class. I kept up pretty good. The moves were pretty basic and I was happy I recognized one of the songs from my class. I think I might download some other zumba songs on my Ipod and listen to them instead...still thinking about it.

My ankle is still pretty sore so I had to tone it down a little, but as long as I kept moving it gave me points and I got my heart rate up. I think it is something I will do 3-4 x's a week. It is a good calorie burner and is fun.

As with any Zumba be prepared to feel like a fool while dancing. Unless you have those amazing "wiggle" hips down already :-)

Zumba Wii

Ok, I know 2 posts in one day WHAt?! I bought Zumba for the Wii. Looks pretty good. I am excited to try it tomorrow!

Done

I'm done with my diet. I felt like I did pretty good. I only lost about 5lbs BUT I lost several inches. At this point I'm more about the inches. I still need to get my Zumba something, probably will go with the Wii game, but I have been doing the PX90 cardio X.

I wear a brace on my ankle and tone it down big time so to not hurt my foot any more, but it feels good to be doing something. I figure a little bit at a time. The ankle is slowly getting better. I haven't sprained an ankle since I was, like 10 maybe? So I have been super impatient in letting it heal. I read and people told me how long it can take, I just didn't expect to for it to be that long especially when everything says "it CAN take up to 8 weeks for a sprain to heal." Looks like mines about on track with that. Blah!

Oh-well. Like I said at least it's healing and I can do something now. A little cardio feels better than nothing and I don't feel like such a blob sitting all day!
