Okay it is friday. I made it through my first week of classes for my workout program. I was VERY sore yesterday which really suprised me because when I was doing the strength circuit on Wednesday i didn't feel like it was super hard and knew i would be a little sore but wasn't expecting just about every muscle group to feel it. Today was our first cardio workout and it wasn't bad at all. They gave us another one to do as homework so now i have to try to fit that in this weekend.
I got my 1500 calorie meal plan (YIKES) now comes the hard part of sticking to it. I knew this is what i would get but hate how hard the first 2 weeks or so are, i feel hungry all the time! The nutritionist gave me a weight goal of 129, so we will see! I honestly don't know the last time I was under 130, never as an adult, probably in high school! Honestly my main goal with this class is to lower my body fat and get toned, so if I can lose 7 pounds on top of it that will be a bonus....but only if i get there and can stay there, i don't want to shoot for a weight that I will be at for a week or two but not able to maintain...so I will continue posting progress on that! Oh and we got our body fat percentage today and i have to say i was suprised i think it is a little high, i htink the trainer was a little off in the location on my leg where she took the measurement but whatever, it came back at 29% which is definately high that what i want. I don't remember the exact numbers from last year but when i started team weight loss last year weighing 153 it was 31% i think and at the end weighing 138 i t hink it was 26.5% So i definatley want to see the 29 come way down.....
Other progress updates on my goals for 2009. I tried 2 new recipes this week from my Rachel Ray cookbooks. A pasta dish and a chicken dish...I would say so so on both. I was proud of myself though for planning the meals from Mon-Thursday and sticking to it. I need to get hte weekend meals planned too, we normally eat out once a week so that one is a free night
On the Izzy front yesterday was a challenging day, I don't know why she was so cranky and clingy but it was quite frustrating! I hate when she cries and whines for no apparent reason and wont' tell me why! I was so thankful when 3:00 came around and we picked up my neice Jessie. That put izzy in a great mood! She loves playing with her.
I am also in the midst of planning Izzy's 2nd bday party for 2 weeks from Sunday!!!!!! To be honest I HATE planning b-day parties! I feel like some parents go so over the top especially with the young ones, with themes, favors, games etc i feel totally inadequte! I am planning no games and no real theme. I will probably get Dora goodie bags and fill them with playdough, suckers and i don't know what else. I haven't decided on cake versus cupcakes yet. We will be serving lunch (catered pizza/salad probably). I kept the list all family with 4 friends/neighboors so that izzy will have a few little friends to play with but i won't have a household of toddlers running around. Am I a bad mom? Any tips on easy fun activities or goodey bag fillers?
I haven't posted a picture in forever so here is one of my girl modeling her hawaiian sun dress from my parents...too bad it si 20 degrees outside. Hopefully it will still fit this summer

I'm so inspired by you and your sticking to weight loss and toning and all of that! You go girl!! I wish I was there to follow in your footsteps with the program.
As for the birthday party thing, you are a step ahead of me. I hate them and hate planning them too. I haven't even thought about Temperance's seeing that all the family is back home, and if I throw one here, it would be just for the sake of having a party that she won't remember. That makes me a bad mommy!
Our kids are so young that I think they are just happy playing with their friends! We aren't doing goody bags or games at Josie's party. I actually think her birthday is more a reason for us to get our friends together then it is for her! She won't even know what's going on.
How funny that all our kids have birthdays right around the same time!
