I have always loved Mondays - new week, new outlook, new attitude. Monday mornings are my step class which I just love although I have been cutting my class in half the past few months - I do about 25 minutes of it and then hook up with Meaghan to do big muscle lower body. That way I get the best of both worlds. I have really amped up my walking too - I've been averaging 15,000-17.000 steps/day and I think thats making a difference. The weekends are still tricky for sure - I tried to be careful on Saturday at the cottage. We had a big dinner party and the meal my sister in law served was amazing but sooo not healthy so I ate small portions of everything and didn't get seconds. She did beef tenderloin, twice baked potatoes that just are soooo good (I had half of one) and her corn casserole which should be illegal its so good. Dessert was an abundance of things but I stuck to the homemade rice crispy square and stayed away from the gooey brownies. Her appetizers were to die for as well - huge cold shrimp - I tried to stick with those - had a few cheese and crackers, 1/2 crab cake. Champagne. But I looked at that whole meal and said to myself I probably indulged in half of what I normally would have and still enjoyed myself and thats all I can ask. Tom and I were up early Sunday morning and we walked the dog for 50 minutes along the Lake Huron shoreline - got in almost 8000 steps just in that walk. Plus Avah and I walked again last night. So I'm definately moving more.
I think that everyone that is reading this blog is on Michelle Pfile's Support Group and honestly what an inspiring group of women. I just love going on there and seeing what everyone is doing and eating and recipes and suggestions….etc….Michelle has been the most amazing online coach. Im anxiously awaiting my Shakeology to arrive this week and I just ordered PIYO so I'm excited to try something different - I'm not a huge workout at home gal but I think doing PIYO 3-4 times/week will be a great change.
So on with my week and I will let you know how the Shakeology goes.
