Icon I've just heard/read a bit about cross fit not being so good on teaching form while strength training and in turn, causing some injuries/damage from incorrect training stuff. Who knows though. Yeah.. Zumba.. I think it can be fun if you don't take it too seriously. I used to go to a class and it was easy to get through the hour and feel like you'd done a good workout afterwards. Those snackpack things look fun! You'll have to tell me what they're like - though I think they'll unfortunately be out of the budget for me...
sun Sounds like overall you're doing well! I hope you get to your goals - I'm sure you can. Running on treadmill definitely better than nothing, but I feel your pain on the boredom - I feel like that with the stationary bike and rowing machine. Get so bored going nowhere!!
cdavidowsky How was the rodeo? I think it's ok to sometimes ease up a bit when there are weekends/holidays, as long as you keep yourself accountable! Veggie sticks, go you!
PinkHurricane Congrats on the six pounds and the upcoming honeymoon! That must be super excited. I've heard good things about plyometrics.
Rie Haha that is so funny about your shoes in the freezer, let me know how that works out for you! I wish there was a way to shrink shoes, I have the opposite problem with a couple of pairs. What kind of things are you putting in your salads now? Go you with the healthy weekend lunch - I could learn a thing or two from you! I was totally controlled with build your own taco, but kind of failed a bit when it came to ice cream sundaes...
~Hey guys, sorry I've been MIA most of the weekend, I was so busy in the lead up to my sister's birthday party! We had to cook for 50-60 people, so by the time I got there on Friday night, she already had two slowcookers on with pulled pork and then there was lots of other prep to do. Made a green chile and lime chicken in the slowcooker the next morning and guac, salsa...a vege dish, and a rice dish. It was full on prep I tell you! By the time saturday afternoon rolled around, I just wanted to nap not party haha.
I did ok with the build your own tacos. I was at least glad I knew what had gone into the recipes - I only had two small chicken tacos, so I think that was fine! I did eat a fair amount of bread, and tasted the rice/bean dish while we were cooking, but overall I'm sure the damage is minimal. On the other hand, I did eat a fairly large bowl of three scoops of icecream with hot fudge, nuts and a few other toppings, but I think maybe everything evened itself out over the weekend.
I'm housesitting for the next month, so I'll be back to figuring out my own meals every night, which means I should be able to really keep my calories in check, especially during the week days.
I've been kind of freaking out a little over the past week because it's now only 9 weeks until I move to Canada. 8 weeks left at work. EEKKK.
Got to get back into running as of tomorrow!!
