Got to the Y today
Eventhough I posted this goal yesterday, I am counting going to Zumba at the Y on Monday night. so that is 2 so far for the week. Not sure if I will get there tomorrow. (Have a long drive to Allentown in the AM, which is like 2 hrs each way.) I did 36 minutes on the treadmill, 2.32 miles, (Warm up 5 min, jog 7 min, walk 5 min, jog 7 min and then walk and cool down.) Did 20 mins of lower body weights. Haven't done weights in 2 months, so I was surprised at how well I felt. Tried not to push myself too much and hopefully will not be sore tomorrow.
Eating yesterday wasn't bad. 2 days in a row of 1700 calories. But based on Fitday and my metabolism, gotta get down to about 1400 calories per day to lose 1 1/2 lbs per week. So I will try to do better today. I had Cheerios, 1% milk and 3 cups of coffee, 1 raw carrot, grilled turkey burger, 1 slice of Oatnut whole grain bread, some water, banana, pork chop, baked potato (it was a large one), SMart Balance buttery spread, string beans, unsweetened iced tea with Splenda and I did eat one of my ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Gotta get better with water too. I did Wii Walk It Out yesterday for 50 minutes or so. So another day over 10,000 steps. Shooting for 105 miles this week on my walking group challenge, and so far so good. I should make it at this rate.
I have felt very blah, overwhelmed, unmotivated this week. Just feel like I am getting no where and not getting anything done. Hopefully, getting back to the Y will help with this. still praying for that break with work and still trying to pick a day to take off of work for a personal day. I am blessed in that respect in that I get 29 personal days/vacation days a year.
Penn State Blue/White game is Saturday! Cannot wait! One thing I am looking forward to. My Aunt and I are going. will get in lots of walking. Will probably blow up my calories for the day between a piece of pizza and some ice cream, but I don't care. Will try to keep it light the rest of the week to make sure I am down on Sunday. Praying for good weather for the day.

Good job on all that exercise...calories seem OK to me but you know your goal!
Sending you some motivation in a box!!! Seriously I get that feeling a lot. I think the whole process is overwhelming...especially with other life stresses...but it is so worth it. Cheering you on Yvette!!!
Love ya!
I have been lacking in motivation lately too! I really have to push myself. I am trying to listen to that little voice in my head...right now it is saying \"go walk\".
Yeah for getting to the Y this morning...it will energize your day. Hope you get a lull at work soon!
Got my new Nike Shox today in the mail from Zappos.com. Wow! What service! I think I ordered them yesterday and the S&H was free! Woo Hoo! Will be ready for a run at the Y. My old running shoes were beginning to bother my feet and my knees were beginning to bother me. So I know it was time for a new pair. I wear a women\'s 5, which is a girls size 3. I typically buy girl shoes and they are cheaper, but a shoe salesman told me I have to replace them more often as childrens shoes are cheaper because the quality isn\'t as good. (Make sense as kids often outgrow sneakers so quickly.)
You\'re still doing way better than I am. lol.
You have a legitimate excuse right now!
congrats on all of the exercise, you are doing great!
Great job with the exercise. Keep up the weights if you can you\'ll feel better just take it slow. You are doing fabulous keep going.
Hope you get to pick that personal day soon
have fun with your aunt at the game. Hope the weather holds . We\'ll wish the rain away lol
have a fun weekend
How did you like the new kicks? I want a pair but hubby says he thinks I wouldn\'t like them.
If you make sure you drink allot of water...the piece of pizza and an ice cream shouldn\'t matter that much! It\'s if you keep doing that is where we can put back on the weight! :p lol
Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are doing great with the exercise WOW! I need to get motivation from you on this area! haha (((HUGS)))
I tried them on but not run with them yet. They are really comfy! Going to give them a whirl when I go to the Y tomorrow AM. Yeah! I will get lots of walking in at the game. Penn State\'s campus is just incredibly beautiful and huge! I guarantee over 15000 steps that day, if not more. So I will not sweat the piece of pizza.
I understand about being unmotivated lately, I feel ya. Great job in Zumba, I\'m thinking of finally trying it in the next couple weeks. Stay determined!
