Resisting Temptation

First, sorry for not posting the past two days. Things got crazy, I got tired, I didn't blog. Simple as that. I do realize that I should probably have a few back up blogs for such moments, I just have to actually stay home long enough to write more than one blog. And I have to have more ideas of what to write. I know that my life is not fun to read about. Though I am in the process of changing that.

Now, on to today's blog!

I lost one pound last week. ONE POUND! I am grateful for that one pound but also a little disappointed in myself. I could have done so much more to lose more weight. Though, the good news is, I only worked out twice last week and probably not even 30 minutes on those two days. So this could be a good thing.

Things I would like to work on this week:

• Work out more
• Drink more water
• Make better food options
• Not sleep so much

I will admit that temptation is just to easy to give in to. I fought all day not to eat a doughnut that mom brought home the other day. Tonight, after dinner, I ate that stupid doughnut. I also drank Dr. Pepper and a Pepsi. I didn't log my points for yesterday or today. Yeah, this week is not starting off so good but I WILL be back on track come morning. 

There is so much that I am trying to fix within myself this year. There are so many aspects of me that need to be worked on. I think too much about the things I don't have and thank to little about the things I do have. I need to change that. I need to realize that while I do have a butt ton of bills to pay, I do have a job that allows me to pay those bills and still have a little left over for myself. Even though I may not make it out to see my friend in Colorado this year I know that I will make it out to see her one day soon. And while I may not have a boyfriend I should remember that I don't have someone that wants to know my every move. 

My goal for this week, aside from my fitness goals, is to be more grateful for what I do have. To enjoy the blessings that are already in my life. And while I enjoy those blessings I will focus on what I can do to bring more of those blessings into my life. 

Much Love

ZUMBA!!

Oh yeah, I have always loved Zumba. LOVE IT! But I have not worked out in a while and it has been even longer since I have done Zumba. I love to dance, always have loved to dance and when I first saw Zumba on T.V. I knew I had to have it. So, I bought the dvds...okay, my mom bought the dvds. And I danced the night away, every night.

I did have my doubts because it was a video shown on T.V. Those things are always crap. But honestly, it was the best work out dvd ever.

Until I got bored with it.

Since I decided I was going to work out every day for the rest of my life I was going to pull out the dvds again and start dancing this weight off instead of getting on the treadmill or doing a ton of other dvds. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Once you have done the same thing so many times you just can't bring yourself to do it again.

I have thought about buying the Zumba for the Wii but I figured it would be just like the dvd and get boring after a while. Then a family member started talking about Zumba for the Wii that she got for Christmas. Me being the impulse buyer I am, went out and bought the game.

Can you hear the angels of fitness singing?

Tonight I did it for the first time and OMG! I was sweating after 30 minutes and didn't want to stop, but I had to do my blog because I wait until the last minute to do everything. Woot for working out!

On top of that, I actually stayed within my point range. I joined Weight Watchers about two weeks ago and just now starting to keep good track of my food.

All in all, in the fitness world, today was a good day.

Much Love,

P.S. Did you work out today?
