Intervals

Yesterday’s Priority List:
Workout Today? Yes/No
Planned workout today? Yes/No
Planned meals for today? Yes/No
Followed plan for meals? Yes/No
Healthy food choices today? Yes/No _70___% (__4__ out of 6 meals) *skipping meals denotes unhealthy food choice
Enjoyed my family today? Yes/No
Succeeded for school today? Yes/No

Intervals are a lot of fun, especially when you're doing them in a group. I was delighted to participate in a group cardio session at my gym after I taught a 30-minute circuit today, and two of the four of us were doing intervals. We encouraged each other, we pushed and challenged each other, and we provided a means of getting our minds off the pain (we yakked when we could breathe). It was a lot of fun, and it's starting to become a Wed evening habit. My daughter gets entertained by one of the younger girls who sometimes participates in the circuit, and we get in a workout. It's novel, really! Strange I hadn't thought of it yet. *sarcasm, thinking about the 30-minute circuit class I teach 3 days a week and is pretty well attended*

I can tell I've got my menu planned again this week, because the eating is just going easy as pie. I may change a thing here or there as I go, but it's better than trying to come up with several meals for a day when I'm hungry, tired, etc. Please remind me to keep doing it (as if those who have encouraged me haven't already *grin*).

Get rid of the rose color! :)

I also need to work on meal planning, no only for the fact that it would make my life easier, I would also save on groceries because I end up buying stuff with good intentions (usually at Costco of all places), then it goes to waste. So I need to sit down on Sundays and come up with at least dinners for every night, or every other (gotta eat leftovers...we're really bad at that too). Anyway, TT is going great, I really like it. I am going to wait a couple more days before weighing in. My eating has been about 85%, and I know if my eating was spot on, I'd be dropping weight, I just can't get my head there so much. Oh well, I'm sure once Cabo gets closer I'll be on a run of chicken and egg whites :)
