Happy Cinco De Mayo!
:Sigh: I’m extremely tired today. I went to Curves this morning and started working out on the circuit; I was almost all the way around when the Zumba lady came in. For those of you who are familiar with Curves, you go around the circuit twice. It takes about 30 minutes. Once Zumba starts, the intervals increase. Normally, you do about 30 seconds on the machine and then switch to walking/jogging. With Zumba, you do a full minute of each. Let me just say that Zumba kicked my butt something massive. Sure, it looks all fun and you think you want to move to the beat, until you do… And FYI, I have NO rhythm! By the time I left that place today, not only did I have a nice sheen on my forehead, but my back was all wet. For those of you who don’t know, I don’t really sweat! At least, until I lost a little weight, I didn’t sweat at all. Now I will break a sweat when I’m working out. My goodness, it was a hard workout and I can totally see how you can lose weight doing it. I think I’ll hold off on the Zumba classes until I get in a little better shape. The rest of the day, I’ve been sore. My entire body aches. I don’t want to lift my legs to walk up the stairs. And I’m ready for bed.
My eating habits HAVE to change. I swear I feel like I can’t get enough to eat. A friend told me to drink grapefruit juice to curb that and I’m certainly going to give it a try. I also need to hit the grocery store and get more fruits to keep on hand. I’ve eaten all through mine this week! In fact, I think I’ve eaten through EVERYTHING this week. Beginning on Monday, I’m starting the 21 day challenge so my eating habits must improve. I can’t be working my butt off and then eating the weight back on.
I’m going to go to Curves tomorrow morning also. They recommend coming 3 times a week, but I really think I should be hitting the “gym” all week. I’ll give my body a break on the weekend. Kevin told me to take it easy and to slow down so I don’t hurt myself… But no pain, no gain, right? I’ll slow down this weekend! This will be my last weekend “off”… because when I start the challenge, it’s a 21 day challenge, including weekends!! I can do it! Just got to set my mind to it. Hopefully next year, I’ll be looking back on this, much lighter!!
On a side note, I’ve had MASSIVE acid reflux today. To the point where I get stabbing pains in my chest. Seriously, it hurts. I can feel it moving and every now and again, a little peep releases. It’s totally MY fault though. I ate a cucumber with Italian dressing for lunch today. That was NOT smart and I’m paying for it. No more cucumbers for me!
I really intended to walk tonight… I really did, but the more I sit here, the more I realize that I’m done. I just don’t have it in me. Tomorrow is a new day. Tonight, it’s bedtime. I bet I’ll be out before my head hits the pillow!
