Weekly Weigh in: week 18

I weighed in yesterday morning because I knew I was going to dinner and drinks with friends last night.  The scale was the lowest I've seen in a while so I was hoping it would reflect at WW too. 

Sure enough, it did!  I lost 2.4 lbs!  I was excited!  I was thrilled to be back on the losing scale but also bummed because I missed my 20lbs by .2 this time.  Ugh!  I didn't let it get me down, I'm planning to get it next week.  ;)

I was bad yesterday, hardly any activity, drank 2 margaritas (yum!) and ate too many beans and chips.  I was careful all day though and drank lots of water and a  low point lunch to hopefully offset it.  And now I have another boy with a fever so I don't see much but cuddling going on today.  😕

Party in Pink Zumbathon

This morning my mom, Natosha and I participated in the Party in Pink Zumbathon.  This was my second year doing it and we had a blast!!!

Z had a fever last night so I wasn't as prepared  this morning since I was tending to him all day yesterday.  But we already have plans for dressing up next year. 

This year there were 29 instructors and some crazy ones!  I am so out of the Zumba loop but I didn't do too bad.  I love all the love and support that breast cancer awareness receives from this event.  Plus it was some great girl time!

Shake it UP Fitness crew

These tiny dancers did the cool down song, so cute!

2 hours of Zumba in the books!

Photo booth!

Afterwards we had lunch at Red Robin.  Did you know that you can omit the bun from a burger and have lettuce surrounding it instead?  It was good too!!!

Looking forward to next year!

Weekly Weigh In: Week 17

I maintained this week which wasn't too bad since it was shark week.  I'll get it next week!  ;)

Race is on

At Zack's xcountry practice I raced a friends son who's in 6th grade and won!  We ran for about 1/4 mile and it was neck and neck for most of it.  Those young kids have some fast little legs!  I didn't expect to beat him at all!  During my childhood I hated any running in PE, I'm not a fast runner now at all but it felt like an accomplishment!

Weekly Weigh In: Week 16

I weighed in this morning and am happy to report that I lost 2 lbs!  I was hoping for more but I will gladly  take the loss!!!  I have been SO busy that I haven't had much time to focus on my fitness.  I have been trying to walk and/or jog during Zack's cross country since it's an easy way to get activity in.  Otherwise I get it while I'm (constantly) on the go.  My eating habits have been better since Jim left.  However, lately at night I've been craving salty foods.  Maybe it's because Shark Week is about to arrive?  Speaking of Shark Week, I'm hoping doesn't give me another gain on the scale.  I'm getting discouraged again and I hate that.  It also seems that my body plateaus at 220 or so and I hate that!  I think once I get past that number it will be ok but it's always hard!!!

Xcountry walk

Ryan was in quite the mood today and didn't want to walk by himself or play on the playground.  I spent most of xcountry carrying him or walking holding his hand, which is not an easy task.  I did end up getting in a 2 mile walk which felt good though.

Cross country practice

Zack is participating in cross country at his school.  He practices Tues, Wed and Thur every week until the end of October.  At practice the kids run/jog/walk for over an hour and try to get in as many laps as they can.  They have two scheduled meets (Oct 2nd and 16th) and then an all city meet that you have to qualify for.  Zack does pretty good at practice.  He has a few running partners and he is in constant motion the whole practice.  (Some kids try and sit out)  Ryan comes with too and the first few practices he ran with the school kids.  Today he tried running with me and I ended up walking most of it because holding on to his 3 year old hand is hard to do while jogging.  I love the exercise I get and what it teaches the kids!

We run laps around the school field.  Two laps is a mile and that's how much Zack will have to run in the meets but for practices they do more.  For some reason my app stopped and I had to restart it.
