I was planning to go to the gym today. I slept in and got up late. When I had thought of going, my daughter fell asleep for her nap. Now either I go when my hubby gets off work and gets home, which would be closer to 8pm. But then I saw that my favorite Zumba instructor is teaching tomorrow morning @ 9am.
My legs are still so sore from bootcamp and yesterday at the pool. I am thinking the best would be not to push them either. I don't want to find excuses though. I need to make myself go to bed and get up to go to Zumba in the a.m.
I have been good with my eating today. I have tried to work on my grocery list to help with my snacks for next week. I have to find a happy medium. Life still goes on and your not going to be perfect. Things come up, things change and I don't want to punish myself or deprive. Otherwise I will give up!
Happy to say I'm onto day 5!!! :)

Day Three
So for today I count my trip to the pool with 10 children my work out! I am so sore today from the bootcamp class I went to last night. My arms, shoulders, tummy and thighs are all sore. But through the pain, I know it is a good pain! It means I am working out those muscles!
Today my mother-in-law and me took my kids (13, 9, 6, 5 and 3 years old) with my 4 nieces (1 1/2, 6, 8 and 9 years old) and my nephew (7 years old) swimming! Not only is it exhausting to keep track of that many children in the water (which was very well watched by many lifeguards), I was in the pool with my 3 year old daughter. She did very well but we were in 3 foot of water.
Now for my almost 6ft frame, squating in 3 foot of water to walk around is good exercise. By the time we left I had worked out my thighs for hours and could barely walk.
I think I deserve to let myself off the hook to miss the gym and hopefully get there tomorrow to do some cardio. I think I will stay away from any weights and wait for next weeks bootcamp to do a true workout!
I did pretty good on my eating. Spoke with a great friend who is involved with a program; Medifast, to be on life lifestyle of healthy eating. I am trying to get myself on the right track and best track for a lifestyle change! I am not as knowledgeable on food and health as I would like to be, so I am educating myself.
So, here's for day 3, another step!

Day Two
I thought I would start a diary of my journey. I am trying to get back into shape. I haven't gone to the gym in 2 months. I have also gained weight in that time and finally decided to just get back in there. Today is day two and I'm hating it! Last night I went to my first Zumba class. It's usually the easy class but of course it wasn't this time around.
Tonight I tried my first bootcamp. I was very nervous because I know what it is like to have a personal trainer. This is the next best thing if you are looking for one. 2 minutes into class I was tired and 25 minutes later I'm dying! Thank goodness it is only a 45 minute class, I thought it was 60! I have concluded that am so out of shape. My arms were dying to do pushups, I can't do a plank for more than a few seconds, Lunges and squats are killers.
BUT I will be going again. I Have to! I have to get back in shape, eat healthier and loose this weight. I'm tired of saying I'm going do it, I will start tomorrow. I'm tired of being tired and feeling unhealthy. Hopefully this will be a daily journey I can write about. And it will help keep me motivated to know someone might be keeping up with it!!! Good luck to me! LOL
