Day 59

TIP OF THE DAY: The old adage of "No pain, no gain." shouldn't apply to your exercise regime. Always listen to your body, particularly when you're new at exercising and your body is not yet conditioned for working out.

If you experience pain during a workout, take a break or sit out the rest of the class. Don't scold yourself into continuing because you haven't exercised long enough that day. If you end up with an injury, you won't be able to exercise at all for a long time!

Today went well. Scott and I both had the day off so we slept in and had a late breakfast/lunch. After we had breakfast we then did the Wii Fit. I did the aerobic and balance for 20 minutes. There is this one game that you have to keep the hula hoops going for 2 minutes and by the end of that 2 minuets I was able to feel the burn in my legs! There was also another game on there that you have to run in place and try to keep up with your trainer. Well I had that game on beginner and by the end I was sweating. Granted that was towards the end of the workout, but still it had me moving. We even did the one where you can run in place with a friend so Scott and I were having fun trying to see who would get to the finish line first.

Yesterday on the Wii Fit, it calculated our BMI, it was at 38.66%. and today after my workout it was at 37.73% a difference of -0.93%. Not bad for one day...if it's correct and all.

After the Wii we decided to take Dexter to the dog park. There were other dogs there and we are working on his social skills so we found a path and walked with him. So I was very active today and loved it! :)

OK now on to what I ate;

BRUNCH:
2 hard boiled eggs with hot sauce-4 points

WORKOUT:
20 minute Wii aerobics/balance workout and walk on trail-Gained 2 points

SNACK:
1 cup yogurt-2 points
3 strawberries chopped up-0 points

DINNER:
Ribs on the grill-9 points
1 cup of rice-5 points
1 cup of corn-2 points (I did not add butter or salt like I used to, and it was still yummy)

DESSERT:
1 small container of skinny cow ice cream-2 points
1 cup chocolate skim milk-3 points (I was needing sweet and the ice cream did not do it so I thought the chocolate milk would and it did :)

Total points: 27 out of 30 points for the day but with the work out I gained 2 points so the TRUE values is 25 out of 30 points for the day.

I also drank 5 glasses of water. Last night I don't now what was going on in my body but I got up every 2 hours like clock work to go to the bathroom. It was getting aggravating!! but that also meant that I was losing that water weight ;)

For tomorrow I have packed my breakfast and lunch and have my full day planed points wise. I even have what snacks I'm going to eat, if needed, on the ride home. I have and extra 8 points leftover before a workout, not knowing if I will have time to but I should, just in case. I I think this will help me not eat those "put together" foods.

Well, have a good one!
