I am sad. But I don't really want to pay extra for a gym class at a gym I already pay for. I also don't like getting up at 0730 on a Saturday to go to the gym. I think my new Saturdays will either be walking Millie or taking spinning and yoga.
Pilates is such a kickass workout though, I am definitely going to miss it.
I was in all kinds of a crappy mood this afternoon, mostly just from lack of food. But still, cranky. So I decided to suck it up and go to the gym. I was running late. And cranky. And hit every freakin red light between home and the gym. So, I decided screw it, I was going home. Then I said no, I will go and if they class isn't full I will sneak in the back and workout. So I finally got to the gym, almost 10 minutes late, snuck into the back of the class, and worked out. In a MUCH better mood now! I have discovered that I am a cardio junkie and if I had my way, I would do cardio every day. But today was PowerFlex and I still loved it.
My eating was not great today. I busted out first thing this morning with a peppermint mocha frapp from Starbucks. I had a chicken sandwich for lunch, but no breakfast and no midmorning snack. Not the way to do it. I need a cream cheese replacement for my bagels. I will have to think on that.
You know, if I could do cardio every day and never lift another weight, I would. Cardio is just so much fun!!! Unfortunately, resistance training blah blah good for you blah blah. Oh well.
Today was a holiday. I should never be left alone in the house with food on a holiday. I had 2 100 calorie snack packs, 6 oreos, a ton of pretzels, a Dr. Pepper, and a subway sandwich. And that was just lunch. :) Of course, I didn't eat breakfast, so i don't know if all that would count as breakfast too.....
That is the question.
I love Pilates, I work hard, I sweat, and I feel it. But how much is that really worth, monetarily? Do I want to continue ponying up extra cash to be able to do Pilates once a week, or suck it up and switch to yoga.
I don"t know.
Holy GUACAMOLE! I think I broke my spleen. What a hard/fun/evil class. Craziness. But I did it! I didn't do everything the class did, but I would say I did about 75% and, more importantly, I never stopped peddling! Definitely a keeper class!!
What a super fun class! I thoroughly enjoyed it! So, I think I have it figured out.
M - PowerFlex
T - Spinning
W - PowerFlex
TH - Spinning
S - Yoga
I think that works!!!
I don't hate it. I don't love it. I think in the long term it will be very good for me, but I don't know that it will help my shoulder. I think on Saturday when I have yoga again, I will talk to the nice yoga lady about shoulder specific exercises/stretches.
My next class is spinning. Ok then. Another class I promised my sister I would give a month. Luckily I know both spin instructors and they are super nice. My other class, before anyone freaks out about strength training is power flex. So every week, I have spinning 2x, yoga 2x, and power flex 2x. Did I mention I am eating breakfast every day? Go me!!!
Today is the first day of the rest of my yoga. I am not a huge fan of yoga, but I promised my sister I would give it at least a month. Today will be day 1. I have an impingement in my shoulder, so I am hoping that the combination of yoga and easing off weights will result in bye bye impingement. We'll see. Hopefully, I will LOVE yoga and want to stick with it, I figure regardless, after a month it will be part of the routine and just what I do. We are also adding spinning to the routine. Yikes! I hope I make it!!
New attempt to blog! So, nothing has really changed. Oh, that's not true, I have started eating breakfast. I also stopped working out with my trainer and am going it ALONE. I have picked up Pilates and this week will also pick up yoga and spinning. If you haven't done Pilates Allegro, I highly recommend it, it's my new favorite workout! Very much fun!
Do you ever get tired of eating the same things over and over? Apparently, I don't. I eat a turkey sandwich every day for lunch and have for the last 3 months or so. Sometimes we will go out to lunch, but the turkey is my standby. And now I have noticed that every night for dinner (unless I go out), I have 2 scrambled eggs with ham, cheese and green chile. Weird. Of course, it makes keeping my food blog insanely easy since all I have to do is copy my meals over, but why don't I get tired of this? Shouldn't I get tired of eating the same things every day? I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but it just seems weird to me.
And before people start commenting with other things I can try, I do eat other foods, I am not looking for recommendations, just noticing a trend. Thanks though!!
