-25: Wednesday, April 7
I know, I know. I have not posted in 13 days (the last day was March 25). I have fallen off the wagon and I would like to blame it on the media haunting me with ads that promote unhealthy lifestyles. Are you buying this one? If not, here is another excuse..cough, cough valid reason for my lackadaisical fitness attitude...the scale. Now, "Dave" told us all to stay off of it and in this case he was right. Once I got down to 131.75 something triggered in my brain telling me it was okay to take a break and a break I took. So now that I am back at 135 (a weight that I can maintain fairly easily) I have to push myself to the limit to get back down and surpass that 131.75 number. Can I do it...yes? Will I do it....umm. yes. How fast will I do it?....umm. I guess by June 30. That's the plan right.
As I type I think about all the hard work I am going to face to find my magazine sculpted body. It's not that I dont want to work hard but I have fallen into the same web that I warn others about...letting external forces control my daily regimens. I have to learn how to balance everything and make myself a priority. Everything will get done eventually, right? I'll graduate with my 4.0, I will meet all work deadlines. Those things will happen. I just have to focus and plan things out. I used my phone's navigation system and had a epiphany. Whenever I drove off coure it bellowed, re-routing, re-routing but eventually it figured out what I was doing (where I was headed) and got me where I needed to go. Even though I may have to change my route (or plans) along the day, I will get where I need to be and get things done that are necessary eventually. A wise (might I say older) spin instructor had a popular phrase that he used often in class. "Just ride" he would say. His spin classes had a tranquil twist to them although there were some hills along the way (literally), which taught me that you must keep things in perspective and relax through it all. All of life doesn't have to be a race but you do need to finish.
Long story short, I will make time for exercise and get back into the Flex attitude that I had when I started this blog. Yes, I thought I would be farther along by now, which has hindered by current process, but hey I got to start somewhere. 30 days to 125.
Today:
B-oatmeal and ice coffee (470 cal) or 9 points (holy smokes)

Hello, I apologize to keep you anticipating my posts :). I got busy again but want to keep you involved. I see that these numbers are decreasing quickly. How did I get to 38 days until May. Wow. The goal continues to be to get to 125 and then gain muscle muscle mass to take pics since MF has been following me forever and I cant waste her time so I will try to send in pics in July. That gives me time right.

L-veggies, chicken, sweet potato
D-brown rice, sardines, veggies
Exercise: African Brazilian Dance (60)
Comments: Although this class was not as good as the one I took on a Sunday it was cool. It was more fun watching other people get their groove on. The guy next to be was total oblivious to what was going around him he was just letting it go. Is it odd that when I need to see how it was done I turned to the guys in the class. Ummm. Well I burned 300 cal so Im cool with that.

I also saw a former coworker of mine and she said I looked great. Yeah me. So, are you telling me I have to stay at 133 forever. LOL. Still trying to get to 125 by my birthday. Now when I see that number I know I am in (Dont tell Dave I said that). But I have been saying 125 since forever. 8lbs can I do it. Yes, I can.

Well, Sunday wasn't too bad until I saw that they were selling girl scout cookies at church. You know I had to give back :). My mother and I shared the box (yes, I said the box). I am done with girl scout cookies. I got to be more organized on the weekends.
B-100 cal wheat bread with pnb
S-girl scout cookies
L-salad with (cucumbers, turkey, carrots, beans)
S-graham crackers
D-shredded wheat cereal with soy milk
Exercise: None
Last week Recap:
Monday:Weights-Legs/Back/Biceps
Tuesday: Cardio (30), Weights Chest/Tri/Shoulders
Wednesday: Pilates, 30 min cardio, Weights
Thursday: Cardio 30 min/Pilates
Friday: Basketball, some weights
Saturday: 2 spin classes, weights
Sunday: Rest
So, I got in more weights than usual but not enough cardio. The goal this week is to get in 45 minutes of cardio at least 5 days during the week. I weighed in at 133, which means I lost a pound. Shooting for 2 this week. Oh, and I got my before pics back...not bad but I got to buckle down to get these abs/obliques together.
