Well I'm not going back to barre class at the studio I'd been going to. I started going with one of RG's friend's so I feel like that would be awkward now. I figure I can find one closer to me instead of driving 30 minutes away for one.
Friday is the biggest loser challenge weigh-in at work. I'm hoping I lost. I think I did. I've been eating spinach salads lately, even less fried stuff, and generally think I'm improving my eating. Last night and today I just wanted to eat all the comfort food in the world, but haven't. Changing eating is hard sometimes, especially when you haven't set aside time to prep food to take to work.

I'm not doing too shabby. I was doing well eating until my mini vacation. Getting back to healthy choices this week. And I'm not beating myself up about it, which is a miracle in itself.
Exercise had been spotty since I'm working overtime. But I'm trying with small things here and there. Ten minute walks. Ten minutes of pushups.
I've been more active but having my parents in town derailed my good eating habits (doughnuts and ice cream). I have to do some serious yard work over the next week, so that will only help me.
I DON"T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. Just kidding. I'm still doing okay. Have not lost any weight, but I'm kind of in whatever mode. I'm hanging onto about 10-15 pounds since last summer so I finally just gave in and used it as an excuse to buy some newer and cuter clothes that look flattering on me. I'm really just learning to love myself and not always try to be something I'm not. I think it's positive to not step on the scale anymore or worry about my weight as a definition of my worth. I work out and stay healthy, but not going to beat myself up over a glass of wine or bowl of ice cream anymore. Not worth it.
I am still only washing my hair once a week and it's growing like a weed. I can ALMOST get it into a very teeny tiny pony tail. My skin is looking great, although I've had major bad reactions to a product that I think I finally figured out after 3x of sensitive and blown up eyes/eyelids. And my wardrobe is going through a complete overhaul - love it!

Eating is going ok. I'm finding that I can't have any fast food without getting sick so that has helped.... Exercise got severely derailed, so I'm back at square one. I'm starting with doing sit-ups and planks to get working on my core again. I'm thinking of trying to do yoga.
I've been doing pretty good with the help of MFP and my fancy new Garmin Vivofit. Except for yesterday...where we had a potluck at work. My body is aching from boot camp on Tuesday...we did 14 minutes of kettle bell stuff.
I have not been to the gym this week. I kind of feel bad about it, but it's been a hell of a week. I've been eating okay though. My portion control at dinner is a lot better now.
Eating has been a challenge since I've been unpacking, painting and moving. I hope by Sunday I can hit the farmers market and buy groceries.
Exercise, I haven't made it to a yoga class I've been to busy/tired. I have however been painting like a fiend and can tell I am getting stronger. Also I have 16 steps between floors so I've been running up and down them a lot. That has to count for something I think.

I have been going to the gym 3 - 4 times a week for the past couple of months, and I have been playing soccer weekly as well. Now that we adopted the new dog, who is much younger (the shelter says she is 8) than my other dog, I have been taking at least two walks a day with the them.
My eating is going well, but I drink too much beer. I need to cut some of it out.

I'm going to slowly back out of this post, since I've been eating ALL THE SUGAR for the past two weeks and skipping my dance classes due to working too much, so I've gained 5 lbs.
However, I am going to do a 30-day plank challenge starting in June. Anyone want to join me?

I went to the gym today! H and I decided to try to be better at scheduling and sticking to a calendar so I can have gym time and get out of the house by myself. So today was my gym morning and OF COURSE the baby didn't sleep at all last night, randomly. I felt like shit but I went anyway and I'm glad I did.
