Week 37

It's been 9 weeks since I've talked about my fitness journey.

9 WEEKS!!!

 Ugh.  But I have a perfectly good reason for not talking about it.

Why?  

Well, it has not been a very good 9 weeks.  I've gained back almost 9 lbs of the 30 that I had lost.

Boo!!!!!  Hiss!!!!!

Here is why:

• I haven't been tracking my food.

• Sugar found me again.

• Mmmmmm Alcohol.

BAD GIRL!!!!!

But....

•  I've been exercising about 3x a week since the last week of August.

GOOD girl!!

I started attending a kettlebell class at the YMCA at the beginning of September & I just love it.

It's so much fun & only time will tell if it's doing anything for me.

 I go to that class 2x a week (tues/thrus) & the other day (sat) I usually do 30 minutes on the elliptical & then a few leg/arm/back/ab machines before taking the boys to the pool for a bit.

2 weeks ago I did 5K on the elliptical in 37 minutes, which I know I could have done faster because I was doing a weight loss program (yes, a pre-programmed one) & when it came time to bring my heart rate down I had to literally stop several times to get it to come down.

Tomorrow I'm going for the gold & gonna see how fast I can really do a 5k.  Well unless we make it to the Y by 8:30 in which I will be doing another kettlebell class! :)

I'm also due for some new pics & body measurements.

I haven't taken any pictures since July, I think....

And I think I did body measurements in August but I could be wrong.

Perhaps tomorrow I can get that done.

Life has just been so crazy I just haven't had time.

Meal planning is back on my list of things to do too.  I am surprised (which I should know I shouldn't be by now) how much food can effect weight gain/loss.

It should be a pretty exciting weekend too.  The boys are going camping with Grandma Linda & Papa.  Steve & I will be going here:

AND we will be celebrating with my good friend Jess & some other friends for her birthday by going to Fast Eddies! 

So excited!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
