So...getting back into the swing of things has been a little harder than I expected...definitely still have vacation brain (and so does Buddy!)
We haven't been able to take walks/jogs as much lately because Buddy hurt his paw when we were playing fetch in the tennis court...so that hasn't helped! It's been an easy excuse to take it easy because of that...
BUT...
I got my Fitness, Self, and Women's Health magazines and I am READY to get back to work! I've had enough down time the past week or so...no more couch potato for me, or Buddy!
I'm doing Wii Zumba tonight, and I just registered for Jillian Michael's free 2-week online program and will be getting 2 of her fitness DVD's in the mail soon.
LET'S GET BACK TO BUSINESS!!!
(When the fat pants start getting too tight and you've gained 6 pounds...that's when it's a wake-up call!)

Fell off the wagon BIG TIME!
Haha soo....after all of that preparing that I did for the cruise to look good in my bathing suit...I feel like all of that went to WASTE during the week that I spent with my family! Lol of course the all-you-can-eat food on the cruise was a HUGE temptation...I tried to be good, but I had absolutely NO willpower this past week haha
I took the stairs as much as possible and actually made it to the gym on the ship one day and rode the bike for 50 minutes! :) And I always feel like walking in heels is a big workout for me too since I practically never wear them!
Also went to Disney on Monday for the 4th, and did SOOO much walking there...I am still exhausted from this last week, so I'll probably end up taking it easy and finishing with all of my assignments that I missed during the past week of school :( I already have a test for Spanish tomorrow! So it's hardcore cramming tonight...but at least I got to practice a little bit while I was in Cozumel! "Donde esta delphines?!" Haha my favorite phrase :)
The cruise was absolutely amazing though! I definitely needed that little break...but coming back was a HUGE slap in the face from reality :(
Buddy did pretty well at PetsHotel! Was a bit of a setback for his separation anxiety...and taking 5 days off from training DEFINITELY shows hahaha! He did SOOOO good with my cousin Rachel though; I was very proud of him and I think he will make a FANTASTIC therapy dog someday soon!!! :)
Well, for the rest of this week we'll be taking it easy...but starting on Sunday it's back to the grind! Knockout Kickboxing at 6pm! WOOO!!!

Good Start to the Week! :)
Feeling good! Got my assignments done for Clinical Psych :)
Went to Yoga tonight again! Love this Monday night class, it's great! My shoulder didn't do too bad either!
Had some pretty good food today too! Pigged out on some tortilla chips and queso for lunch tho haha (Thanks for leaving those here Jesse!)
Overall, I think it's a pretty good start to the week! Let's keep it up!!! :)
Tomorrow I'll be taking Buddy on a morning walk/jog to see how we do with our battle wounds :-P hahaa

Taking a Break to Heal...
So, I ended up having a mole removed on Thursday from my back shoulder and it's kinda put a damper on the whole work-out schedule while it heals...
Didn't get to go to swim club on Thursday because I couldn't get it wet for 48 hours after the procedure, then on Friday I didn't want to go to spin class or yoga because it bled a lot during the night, and I didn't want to mess up the scabbing over process by stretching it out too much!
Buddy is also getting a little bit of a break from our walks/jogs, because he has a hotspot under his ear (right where his collar goes) so I don't want to irritate it too much by correcting him when he pulls on the leash...so we'll probably just keep going and playing fetch at the dog park :)
Saturday and Sunday were days off because Jesse was in town! We ended up going to the mall and seeing The Hangover and The Hangover II...AWESOME movies!!! I'm SO happy I finally saw them!
Kinda went overboard with getting spoiled to go out to eat...haha but didn't do tooooo bad! ;)
I'll probably end up going to yoga tonight to see how my back does; it's only been bleeding a little bit lately, so I think it's healing up very nicely! :) If tonight goes well, then maybe Buddy and I will go on a walk tomorrow morning!

Success! Followed by Failure...haha
So I did really well getting up at 7:10 today and taking Buddy for a 2.5 mile run in 34 min and burned 207 Cals!
Those were the stats from my pedometer ;)
So then we got home about 8:00, I had breakfast, got ready for school and was watching Fraiser on the couch before leaving for class that starts at 10...but the leaving never happened! I ended up falling asleep on the couch and I didn't wake up until 10:45!!! I was SO mad at myself! But I guess I'm making progress slowly but surely...tomorrow will be a super long day though :(
Trainer's meeting in the morning, class from 10-noon, then lab from 1-8:20...and I think this lab is going to be a long one... so poor Buddy will have a boring day in his crate...but I'll be sure to take him out to play tennis tonight :)
Ate really well again today! Tried to do the 3-4 hour intervals and I wish I could do that everyday!

CROW POSE ACCOMPLISHED!!!
So went to class today, came home and did homework, and then went to yoga tonight!!! It was awesome!
I FINALLY DID CROW POSE!!!!!! I was able to hold it for like 10 seconds, I was so pumped!
It was nice to relax and unwind and stretch after kickboxing yesterday haha
Meals were GREAT today too!
Honey Almond flax flakes cereal with raspberries for breakfast,
Veggie dog with potato bun, swiss cheese, and chipotle spread (with veggie straws on the side!),
And an open faced egg sandwich with swiss cheese, toast with nutella, and strawberries and raspberries with a teaspoon of sugar on top :)
FEELING AMAZING!!!

Getting Back into the Swing of Things!!!
So...this past week wasn't the best...haha definitely had a lot of rest and relaxation...I blame it on the holiday weekend!!! lol
But I finished the Cardio Kickstart program on Wii Active...so now it's time to really get serious!!!
Yesterday I ended up going to Knock Out-Kickboxing at the gym for the first time in AGES! And it TOTALLY kicked my ass...but it felt good! I'm sooo sore today, but not as sore as I would've been had I tried to jump right back into those crazy classes without any preparation!
I kinda got off the wagon as far as food goes last week...but yesterday was a good day and I'm still keeping up today!
Anyway...there's only 21 days left until the cruise...that's 3 weeks away!!!
I've only got 3 weeks to get tight and toned to look and feel sexy for the Bahamas! ;)
So here's the weekly plan:
Mondays: Yoga at 6:00pm
Tuesdays: Day off...too much going on! I'll probably just take Buddy for his daily run!
Wednesdays: If I can get out of organic lab early, then I'll be doing either 90 minute Yoga at 5:30pm or Zumba at 7:00pm
Thursdays: Swim club from 7-9pm
Fridays: Spinning at 8am
Saturdays: Day off/Buddy run!
Sundays: Kickboxing at 6:00pm
Got Sunday checked off all right!
Yoga tonight...then rest tomorrow!!! :)
COZUMEL, CANCUN, AND GRAND CAYMAN...HERE I COME!!!
