I finally joined a gym today! Woohoooooo! I am very excited about this. Partially because I know it'll help me achieve my goal, and also because I love spending time alone and am looking forward to having the gym all to myself - it's at a university so I'll be going when everyone else is in class haha. They also have a wide variety of classes which I'll have full access to. Here are the classes they offer: Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Spinning, Bootcamp, Zumba, Kickboxing, Crunchtime, Cardio Chaos and Booty Beat...I plan on trying as many as my schedule allows! I'm so pumped to be finally burning off some energy! I went today as well and did spinning...now as a recap, I used to be the queen of spin. Seriously, I went all the time including early morning classes and I was fantastic at it...well last week I did my first spinning class in 6 months, and I was frustrated because I couldn't do much of what the instructor was asking of us...well apparently a week was all it took to get adjusted because I'm back baby! I was able to do everything as instructed today. It wasn't easy by any means but I am so glad that I was able to accomplish it! I guess my body just had to get used to me being more active! I would like to try and go to the gym tomorrow but I work from 10-8 so I don't know if that's going to happen. But at least for now I know I can do Mon, Wed, Fri and Sun, which is a really good workout schedule to maintain so I'm not worried about not fitting in enough exercise. My eating also went awesome today, and for dinner I went to Jules Thin Crust pizza in newtown...that place rocks!! They have whole wheat thin crust veggie pies and my friend and I split a medium size one, with pieces still left over! I will discuss what I ate at length later on, but for now I just can't stop raving about this place. It was awesome because the slices themselves are small, the ingredients are fresh and organic, and the whole wheat crust is an added bonus for people trying to eat healthier. Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast:
-2 trader joe's whole wheat frozen waffles with a couple blueberries & blackberries and 1/4c sugar-free syrup
*SO GOOD! Love these. And I added in fruit to give my breakfast more substance. I think I'm going to try making my own syrup with the berries too at some point...blending them in with the maple syrup somehow I think that'd be really delicious.
-1/2c unsweetened coconut milk
*BLEH! I can't do this. I'm seriously better off drinking the dairy. Coconut milk is NOT a substitute for real milk hahaha.
Lunch:
-2/3c brown rice, 1c healthy choice garden vegetable soup (with the noodles picked out), 1 ground up turkey burger. = All mixed together
*This was good, sufficient, and I figured the soup would add lots of flavor but it really didn't. I'm not sure if it was because of that particular flavor or because it was healthy choice, but I'll try it again with a different variety to test my theories.
Snack:
-1 macintosh apple with 2 tbsp reduced sugar peanut butter
*I could have just eaten that damn peanut butter straight out of the jar...but I threw in the apple for good measure haha
Dinner:
- 3 slices whole wheat thin crust pizza topped with melted mozzarella, cubes of gorgonzola cheese, basil, chunks of tomatoes, garlic and artichoke hearts with olive oil
*I cannot say enough good things about this pizza. It was so frieken good! And because of the whole chunks of vegetables it actually was slightly cold, but in a good way. It was like eating cold fresh vegetables on a warm thin slice of bread and I really wish there was a Jules Thin Crust near my house :-( I was also sad to find out that the leftovers my friend gave to me were of the wrong kind of pizza...we accidentally switched to-go boxes...I'm very sad about that haha.
Today was a great day, I feel on top of the world right now! I'm sitting here drinking my nightly cup of green tea (out of my favorite Alice in Wonderland mug) which I'm trying without the agave nectar...there is only a slight difference. If I can drink it without any sweetener I'm going to try to do that from now on. Well I guess that's it for tonight, I already cooked for tomorrow, I work all day and am going to try to keep myself busy enough so that I don't get bored and want to eat, eat, eat! I'm also out of $$ so that will actually work in my favor :-)
