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!!!
