Gotta get back on track!

Last week was kinda all over the place!
Kept up with the Wii Active and Wii Zumba!
Ate pretty healthy still! :)

Today I'm picking back up with the Wii Active and Zumba! Tomorrow I'll squeeze in Wii Active in the morning, Wednesday will be a break, Thursday will be swim club, and Friday back to the Wii Active! I'm almost done with the 3-week cardio kick-start program! :)

Today's meals were:
Breakfast with mom and dad! They drove up from Tampa to spend a little bit of Memorial Day with me :) So breakfast was a bit of a splurge ;)
Lunch was leftover chicken stir fry and quinoa
Dinner was orange-maple glazed scallops with orzo, spinach, and strawberries...total deliciousness!!! :)

Keepin' it going!

So this weekend, Jesse and I ran in the Winter's Family Fun Fest 5K in Clearwater Beach! It was SO awesome!!! On the first mile of the race we saw wild dolphins! :-D SO COOL!!!
 We finished the race in 30 minutes...pretty damn good considering it was our first 5K together and we had a 10-minute mile time!!! We even walked part of the way so we did freaking awesome!

Sunday was a day of rest :)

Yesterday I did the Wii Active for 30 minutes and the exercises are getting more intense! I love it though! It's a heck of a lot cheaper than a personal trainer ;)

I haven't been waking up as early the past few days because I've been staying up later, but gotta get back on track with that! I feel like I don't have enough time in the day anymore :(

Today I will do the Wii active again, and maybe some Zumba! ;) But tomorrow is the long day...class and orgo lab...so basically I'm gone from 10am-8:30pm...UGH! Poor Buddy :( Wednesdays are going to be no fun for him...OR me, for that matter...

Swim Day for Buds and I!!!

So this morning I took Buddy to day care and he loved it as always! (Of course!) This was his first 10 hour day there, and I think it DEFINITELY pooped him out!!! So there was his work out for the day :)
Then I went to class, went to the lab, and came back home to take a short nap before picking Buddy up! Then it was my turn to go swimming!!! 90 minutes of pure torture haha I always feel so out of shape when I go to Swim Club practices!!! But I think I'll get there slowly but surely :)

I've been INSPIRED!!! There was an article in Fitness magazine...and the title was: "You CAN Be a Tri-Athlete!"
And now...? I kinda wanna start training for a triathlon! They made it sound a lot easier than I thought it would be and I never knew there were short distance triathlons!!! Definitely thinking I can do that ;)
And swim club is a great start for that!!!

As for my meals today? FABULOUS!!!
Breakfast: Two pieces of toast one with peanut butter and mashed banana the other with Nutella and mashed banana...DELICIOUSNESS!!!

Lunch: Sugar snap peas, Special K Strawberry crisps, and Leftover bowtie pasta with marinara sauce
Dinner: Leftover sauteed veggies (and fruits from what I learned in Ethnobotany today!) from yesterday, and quinoa with flaxseed

Dessert: English muffin topped with peanut butter, pears, honey, and cinnamon!

More Success!

Yesterday and today were great! :)

Woke up at 8am yesterday, took Buddy on a 15 min walk, fed him, did Wii Active for 25 minutes, ate breakfast, showered, and made it to class RIGHT on time at 10!

Today I woke up at 7:45, took Buddy on a 30 minute walk/jog, watched and episode of Spongebob and had breakfast, then went to class again!

Food choices? VERY good the past few days!
Here's what I had today:
Breakfast: ham, egg, & cheese sandwich on an english muffin
Lunch: peanut butter, banana, strawberry, and jam sandwich
Dinner: bowtie pasta with sauteed veggies

Feeling good about keeping on track so far!!!
Buddy's going to daycare tomorrow and I have my first swim club meeting of the summer!

:)

Summer, Summer, Summer!!!

Well here we go!
The start to another semester...and it's going to be busier than EVER!!!
I am getting all of my class information organized and scheduled, and then it's time to get in gear!!!

This is going to be the general outline for my workout schedule:
Mondays: Walking Buddy (45 min) and Wii Active 2 (25 min)
Tuesdays: Walking/Jogging with Buddy (30 min) and Wii Zumba (20 min)
Wednesdays: Walking Buddy (45 min) and Wii Active 2 (25 min)
Thursdays: Walking Buddy (30 min) and Swim Club (2 Hours)
Fridays: 8am Spinning or 10:30 am 90 minute Yoga
Saturdays: Wii Active 2
Sundays: Something fun! Volleyball perhaps??

Trying to turn myself into a morning person, so a lot of these are going to ease me into my 8am classes for summer B!
I guess we'll see how that goes...haha for those of you who know me, I am NOT the greatest morning person...but that's all about to change!!!

I've got 41 days until the cruise...GOTTA GET CRACKING!!!

HERE WE GO!
These are the breakfast and lunch I decided to go with today :) DELICIOUS!!!

:)

Wii + Netflix = AWESOMENESS!!!

I did Wii Active 2 again yesterday: 3 Week Cardio Program, Day 2...LOVE it!!! It's just the start I need to get back on track for strength training...fun and not too intense! Trying to build up endurance and muscle again slowly :) Plus, it's still break for the gym, so I can't go to any of the group-ex classes! It's definitely saving me gas money though!

I did the Wii Active morning "Limber-up" routine today! A short 12 min program of warm-up/cool-down exercises; it was a nice morning start! After the semi-hectic day today I ended up doing "Candlelight Yoga" after work tonight and it was AWESOME! I found all of these great work-out DVDs that you can watch instantly on Netflix...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! There's so many instant DVDs on there, it's so worth it for the $8/month!!! Plus I can reward myself by watching one of my favorite TV shows afterwards ;)

It's gonna be a good summer!!!
Is it sad that I kinda already miss school too? Yikes...what's wrong with me!?

Wiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!

Took Buddy on a walk today and to the dog park; we played fetch until the rain clouds started moving in...then we came back home!
After I fed him, I took advantage of his crate time to do some Wii Active and Zumba! :) So much fun! I really like these new games!!!
I'm excited for the new gym schedule to come out for when Summer A begins!

Buddy is still worn out from fetch...he's snoring on his bed right now :-P SO CUTE!!!

Wii Zumba!!!

So I did my first "class" of Wii Zumba!!!
It was AWESOME! I feel so dorky doing it, so I'm glad it's not in a real class setting lol I'd look like a fool!
But I'm hoping to get better so I can start actually going to the classes on campus and not feel completely lost!!! But I still might try one anyway...I caught on to the steps pretty quick!

Getting back on track!!!

Wow...it has been way too long since I've blogged!!!
But...it's also been way too long since I worked out too!

Finals week was brutal...but ended up passing all of my classes! I really don't like phrasing it that way; but this was a really rough semester.
As for this summer...it's time to get back in gear! I'm already starting to feel back to my old self, and I'm excited to get into a new routine!

There's a lot going on for this summer...3 classes, working 20 hours a week, being an RA for CogSciLab, (hopefully!) getting back to volunteering at Freedom Ride, and still managing to make time for fun!!! :)

I also need to make time to work-out and get in shape for the cruise at the end of June! Not doing too well so far...lol but I'm enjoying my time off right now! I've got a lot of new tools to help me out: 3 new Wii games (NFL Training Camp, EA Sports Active 2, and ZUMBA!), the fitness videos on Netflix, and the gym on campus and at the apartment complex! The pool is going to be a very important tool for me this summer as well :)

So hopefully I'll get back in gear tomorrow before work and then will finish out the week strong!

Here's to a new semester and a new summer!
:)
