3rd week down

Well I completed the 3rd week of my class today (although i am planning ot go to the gym again tomorrow to try to do most/all of my strength training circuit) This mornign was SOOOOO hard to get up and had it not been for DH telling me I can do it, I very well might have gone back to sleep and gone to teh gym later in the day to make it up. I am so sore today from the strength workout on Wednesday but it is a good sore. Today was by far the hardest cardio workout we have done yet and I survived!!! I feel myself getting a bit stronger but know I have a LONG way to go.

I have been trying to stick to my meal plan and that has been the hardest part. I am hungry ALL the time and i think it is mostly because I am thinking about all the stuff I want to eat and can't therefore it makes me hungry. The first few weeks of the meal plan are always the hardest until my body gets used to it. I think I am having a harder time this time because deep down if I feel like if i don't lose any weight that is still okay because I am at a healthy weight now, I weigh less than I did when I got married (only by a few pounds) and I am the smallest I have ever been in my adult life....now that is great. But I really do want to push myself just to see what happens. It would be nice to lose 5 pounds or so over this 3 months but we will see what happens...sounds kinda wishy washy huh.....i haven't lost much so far maybe a half a pound to a pound......

I think my favorite part is Wed and Friday having the whole morning to myself, I sit in the steam room after the workout before I shower and get ready with no interupptions. I have never blow dried my hair so much in my life!!!

I do have to say though I find myself living for Thursday's. I love Thursday's. I don't have to get up and get out of the house early (just by 9:30 with Izzy for her Tumbling Toddler Class) adn in teh afternoon I pick up my neice jessie from school (she is 11) adn Izzy LOVES playing with her and Jess is really good and playing with her so I can actually get some stuff done aroudn the house.

Yesterday was our first Tumbling Toddler class through community ed. I think it is going to be a good one. It is not gymnastics, it is in a elementary school gym and they have a big mat in the center and a bunch of slides, ride on toys, balls etc set up around the rest of the gym. So the kids get to play and run aroudn part of the time and we do organized stretching,galloping,crawling, rolling etc as well as song time and parachute time. Izzy seemed to like it (even though seh fell off the slide and bumped her head...luckily the slide was on a mat!) It is quite a bit different than the other class we took so I think it will be good to have the variety.

All in all it has been a good week. I will for sure be tired today though, i don' t knwo why but I had a rough nights sleep, lots of tossing and turning....probably just a bit of stress about the party Sunday....

Now I need to stop procrastinating and try to get some work done!!!
