Week Three

Week Three Update:

Workout-  I did A LOT of cardio this week.  I went to Jazzercise several times and then swam almost every night.  I am up to 11 laps in the pool now.  Pretty good --up from ONE lap three weeks ago.  I also went to a Jazzercise weight training/abs class one day.  And I signed up for an 8 week personal training session.  Still no word on Crossfit and I am starting to be more unsure about attending.  We'll see.  Still have my Zumba punch card that I need to use up too!!  :)

Eating- I had a LOT of salads!!  I am sort of on a salad kick right now.  I really want to put full fat ranch on them or go for a ceasar salad, but have done well refraining so far!  During the week I did a great job of portion control and staying within my points easily.  I ate very sensibly and had some fruit and lots of veggies.  The weekend I sort of "messed up", but I didnt go over my weekly point allowance.  I made Mason a pasta casserole taht he loves and went a little overboard eating it ( I did use whole grain pasta and reduced fat cheese, but still).  Then we got Which Wich sandwiches and I KNEW the healthy way to go and chose not to.  My bad.  I have to keep telling myself that I can't be perfect 100% of the time or I will give up fast!

Fun Facts-I am starting to notice that I don't feel tired as easily and I have more energy.  Sad, but I would breath hard walking up the stairs in our house to put Mason to bed.  Not so much anymore.  Amazing what 3 weeks can do!!
I have forgotten to take my blood pressure medicine twice this week.  Generally when this happens I get VERY tired, VERY VERY headachey, and dizzy.  My body definitely reminds me to go find the pill bottle.  This week, I have felt ZERO side affects from not taking it.  I am not saying that my BP is under control or anything, but the fact that I didnt even realize I had forgotten is big time!!

Weight Loss-  A big Fat ZERO.  Not what I was expecting or hoping for this week.  I thought I did really well at balancing my eating and my working out.  I hope that maybe I am growing some muscles or something??  I think the inches are melting away, so I should just dwell on that this week.  Boo!  :(
Week 4- I had a minor toe surgery on Monday evening.  Minor, but not comfortable in a tennis shoe, so I am not sure about the workouts this week.  Hoping to be able to by tomorrow!!!!  :)
