I was dragging today, for sure. I think the combination of oversleeping (I slept until 1pm!), and doing the 30 Day Shred everyday (I'm used to rotating workouts, not the same thing every day), just got to me. I didn't kick it up a notch, but I did get my workout in (95 mins), when I just wanted to skip it today.
Tomorrow's Challenge: Weigh, Measure, & Record EVERY bite!
Well I wanted to do 7 full days of exercise, BUT today there was no way I could get myself to hop around or even do Yoga or walk. My hip is stiff, I'm sore, and fatigued (hormones TOM). So, my NSV is taking control and listening to my body. I'm going to do 6 days a week, rest, and tomorrow I'll have the energy to get back in the exercise saddle...even with a stiff hip.
Ah GAH my weight is up, I think it is TOM (i do get a bit insecure with hormones raging as well)...right now I ranging from 270-272 and my lowest was 266...well...we'll see. I'm still going to be on my TOM come this Sunday for the weigh in thread thing. I usually don't get rid of this weight until a few days do a week afterward when I start to level off. *frustrated sigh* lol Sometimes I feel like I have two weeks where I'm feeling normal. :/
I should also mention I'm bloated and I know I'm retaining water as usual, but still fussy. I just think I haven't lost much over all this month, so I need to make some changes. Obviously exercising is a key one here, but also that balance of both, food and exercise is something I'm still grasping.

Jacquie - I am a firm believer in at least one day off. It's great that you're learning to listen to your body.
I made a Southwestern Soup today - I've never had it at Chilli's but supposedly it is their recipe.
My NSV today is two great hours of exercise - water class started my day off at 630 this morning and a great cardio class at 6 this evening.
Tomorrow my challenge is "no cake at the baby shower - actually I think I will make it NO FOOD AT THE BABY SHOWER" as we are going to dinner - don't need to graze all day.
Well today so far I've gotten up and attempted to do the TaeBo workout again...I can get almost through it. I believe it is 45 minutes long and I am now at 38-40 minutes but I just get worn out and when I feel like I'm not giving it my all or I'm panting like a mad woman, that is when I stop lol. So, I'm getting there...my other workout I can get all through the cardio and some into the strength, so I have two goals now!
Taking a day off was essential, I'll have to remember that as my body really needed it. Today I had no problem suffering through a workout hahahaha.
Today...I have a NSV of doing 6 days of exercise in one week, which i have never done before. Shameful I know, but I did it. Next week 6 days...did my other cardio DVD today and got through half of the strength...my legs were so shaky and my arms were done so I had to quit lol. I hope to get farther and farther each time!
Tomorrow I'm planning on a walk and evening Yoga
