Hump Day Recap

Well today Wednesday was a lot better than yesterday.  Still not a perfect day, but a move in the right direction.

Breakfast:  Croissant & White chocolate Latte

Mid AM Snack:  The rest of my tomato, broccoli, carrot juice

Lunch:  Kale Salad (Kale, cucumbers, tomato, Feta Cheese, apple cider vinegar)

Mid After Noon Snack:  Beet & Apple Juice

Dinner:   Salad (lettuce, cabbage, carrots) & 1 chicken breast

Physical Activity:

• 60 minutes of water aerobics
• Total Body Vibration Machine, well I know it is technically not excercise, but since they claim its just like excercising, I am calling it exercise!   I attempted to record myself while on the machine with my Iphone.  So here is a snap of the machine and a little clip of me on the machine.  The machine is surprisingly quiet and seriously all I do is stand and let the machine vibrate! 

Well I think that is all for tonight. Time to watch my shows tidy up a bit and get to bed.  Until next time.  Tata.

Weekly Recap...

Sometimes keeping up with this blog is such a task!  The week has gotten away from me.  I can't believe it's already Thursday. This week I have not been able to juice.  So I am trying to stick to my salads and healthy eating.  My workouts have been side tracked by some crappy weather!  I only got to do water aerobics and I went for a little walk today!  I have really fallen in love with water aerobics!  The instructor of my water aerobics class also teaches swimming.  So I wonder if I remember how to swim?  Does one forget after learning?

I am excited for the days ahead, no particular reason but I am.  I have spent some time this week budgeting and trying to get my finances in order.  As I tackle health, I must also tackle my credit scores!  Boy they are horrendous.  I am have been running around blinly spending money unnecesarily.  I had no idea how much I was paying for cable or how much some of my utility bills were!  So it is financial dieting time.  I was able to switch my cable plan to save on the monthly payment.  Little by little I will do better on my finances. 

Today I went to a farmers market.  On my juicing venture, many people say farmers market prices are cheaper than grocery stores.  Well that is so not the case here in Los Angeles.  Everything that I would normally by from Sprouts or Food for Less was higher at the Farmers Market!  I need to find a way to juice in a cost effective way.  I think I may have to do some smoothies, at least that way I can do frozen fruits, which I can buy in bulk.

Well I don't have muc more to report.  But I am happy that I got outside and got a nice walk in.  So here is my Endomondo route:  http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/42509276

That's all for now!

I want to say that I love the class!  I also want to say I was extremely nervous before class!  I was seriously flooded with negative thoughts right before the classs! I had thoughts that I would drown, that I wouldn't be able to do it, that I would slip and fall.  I was really scared!  One good thing that came out of class, is that I remember how much I loved being in the water.  When I was little I loved swimming at the beach, and I remember a house that we had had a pool in the backyard and I loved being in that pool!  I love affair with water has been re-kindled!

Distracted, Yet Again

Man it has been almost a week since I have been on here to post anything. So I just wanted to post a quick blurb as to why I have not been posting.

I bought a new toy last week, and it is now consumming all of my time.  I bought a Kindle Fire and I am in awe, I am completely mezmorized!  I really do love my kindle!  I downloaded 2 books so far.  I am able to watch TV shoes and movies with my 30-day free trail of Amazon Prime.  I can get on the internet, check email, Facebook & even continue playing my wonderful word game Word With Friends!  I love it darely! 

So if anyone out there has been thinking about getting a Kindle Fire...it really is worth it.  I highly recommend it! 

So on a weightloss note, I have been plugging along on this journey. I had a rough few days.  Did a lot of PMS eating...wing stop, ice cream, even had soda! Oh My Oh My!  Spend a couple days sick, nauseated, just had to lay still.  But fret not, I am back on task after my detour.  My Water aerobics class started last night.  It was one of the longest hours of my life!  But it is something new for me to try!
