Another Day
I woke up today and almost didn't go to my PowerPump Class. I'm glad I did. I'm getting better. I didn't take nearly as many little breaks and I kept at it. I love that class. I guess that's it. I just wanted to say that I was really tempted to go back to bed but I persevered and went to the gym. Yeah me. :D

Kick Boxing
So yesterday, after my post I went on a walk to my parents house from mine. It' about a 2 mile thing. maybe a bit more. I went in flip flops and now my feet hurt. I have this thing called plantar faciaitis (sp?),(no, it's not a fungus), where the tendons in the arch of my foot are really tight and get agitated easily. But, I've had it for years so I usually just deal. Well, this morning, in my "I will deal with it" sort of mind set, I went to a kick boxing class at 6:00. I don't know if it was because my feet hurt or what but I just wasn't feeling it. The girl in charge of the class was super motivated and gruff and I couldn't help thinking... "My feet hurt, ssshhhh." So, will I be going back to the class? Probably not. I think on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings I'll to my own type of training. Probably a tread mill. Actually, they do have cycling classes that morning. I heard that they're really tough. I'll give it a try though. But here's the thing to know about today. I got up and exercised. I'm not slacking off. I'm doing it. It'll take some time but already after only a week I'm feeling better. More energized. I missed it. Yeah me. Hehe.
Tomorrow, Power Pump again! Heck Yes!

Guess who's back
OK. So the whole "work-out" blog had a miserable beginning. But, I'm back and I've made sure that I've been good about working out before I embarrass myself again. Well, May's here and I definitely can not run a 10 k. Hehe. But there is a 5k in June I want to do. I saw an advertisement at the mall for it. Then I'll do the 5k for the 4th of July parade in Provo. Yeah and then work for a 10k this August. My friend Erin Mecklenburg mentioned it on her blog. Cool, eh? I'll just have to find out what run it is and sign up.
I've been going to the gym this past week. For the sad news, during those few month hiatus from the blogging world, I gained about 7 pounds. Yuck. But last week I lost 3.5.lbs. Yeah. I'm working for a goal of 165 by Friday. I think I can do it. 1.5 lbs. to go. Especially with the class that I've been going to at the gym. It's called Power Pump and it can totally kick your trash. I'm serious. I am the most out of shape person in that room, but you know what. I'm there and I'm trying it. Yeah me. It's a class where they combine weightlifting to cardio and awesome music. I've decided that the lady's who teach the class are hip-Nazi's. Pretty much every exercise we do involves out hips and let me tell you, I'm one sore chica. Hehe. But my hips aren't the only thing that's sore. My left arm is just a bit weaker than my right. It makes sense because I always pick Alex up with my left arm. Well, after a few of those Power Pump classes last week I could not straighten my left arm for 3 days. No joke. It hurt... but felt so good. Yeah me!
And as far as eating goes, I'm doing ok. I kept trying different things. Accai berries and the South beach diet. I'm not saying these things don't work, I'm just saying they don't work for me. So, I've taken a new approach. Watch my portion size and only eat when I'm hungry. I'm just a person who loves food. always have and always will. I would eat anything during high school. I could out eat most guys I knew and I never had to worry about it. Gotta love metabolism. But there is something about having a baby that makes my body say, "Wait! Let's save as much of this food as possible! It'll be great!" No body, let's only save what we need.
Well, until next time. Which will be tomorrow because I'm going to try and go to a kickboxing class at 6:00 am. Fun, eh? I'm really interested on what the class is like.
Wait, before I go. I got new tennis shoes for the gym. I love new shoes. I was going with my old pair that I use to work on the yard with and stuff and it was embarrassing. Every one's shoes were so new and white and my were falling apart, old-white, and partly stained green from grass. So, my husband, being the adorable man that he is bought me a new pair. They were great. Super comfortable and cute. Thanks babe!
