Jump Start Day One
Whew! Today was a good start to my "Jump Start" Fitness program. I got up and got Julia ready for school, ate breakfast, then took the dog for a walk in the neighborhood. I'd intended to go walk on the canal but it was a moderately messy day and I didn't want him to get all muddy. So we walked in the neighborhood for about 30 minutes. Then I did the following:
9:45-10:45 Yoga for Flexibility Class
10:45-11:30 Snack/Chat
11:30-12:15 Shooting Hoops
12:15-12:45 Circuit training/weight lifting (this class was intense!)
1:15-1:45 Swim laps
Then I did a quick grocery run, came home and ate lunch and then watched "I Can Make You Thin" as my inspirational thing for today. I beat the school bus home by about 60 seconds!
I may go to taekwondo tonight, but our friend Lisa is coming to dinner (last minute plans) so it depends how rude it will be to leave.
I am tired but also feel good. I did eat more today. The snack was a peanut butter sandwich and grapes, and lunch was ham and cheese, and also a taco leftover from last night. I wanted to be sure to get enough protein to fuel myself! Dinner is pork chops, mashed potatoes, and broccoli.
Anyway I am happy with day one. This is also the day I officially weigh, and I lost two pounds this week, for a total of 8 so far according to my home scale, from my highest a few weeks ago. Let me tell you, yoga was NOT intended for obese people. My joints are plenty flexible but my stomach gets in the way! And in the circuit training class we did a lot of jumping on those mini trampolines. Which was great except for my stomach bouncing up and down too much. Blah. Can't wait to be rid of some of that!
I need to check my schedule for tomorrow but I think it will be fine to continue my jump start program. I think it is supposed to rain tomorrow (It never rained hard today but misted all day) so I might have to change a walking plan.
More tomorrow!
