25 September 2008

To my surprise, yesterday's WW topic was dancing. I love dancing. I dance whenever I can...waiting for the bus, sitting in my office chair, it really doesn't matter where. So I was happy. Someone mentioned Zumba and it sounded really cool. So maybe I'll try to find a Zumba class somewhere.

Our leader wasn't there so we had no fruit or vegetable for the week.

Before the meeting I had a doctors appointment. Instead of driving to the doctors, I took the bus (yay environment) and then I walked to where my WW meeting was. It was a very brisk walk and by the time I got to the shopping center I felt very tired. There were still a couple of hours before my meeting - so I ended up getting myself a mani/pedi at the local nail salon. I hadn't realized how aching my feet were until I plunged my feet into the foot bath (which was super hot). Anyways - it felt soooooo good and today my feet feel ready to do some more exercising.

Also - apparently my losing weight has made me look younger. I'm only 30 so its not like I'm old, but the nail salon ladies were asking me if I was still in school. That's an awesome question when you consider I graduated college 8 years ago.

Today's dance song is going old school: "Push It" by Salt n' Peppa. I still can't believe that this song came out when I was in fourth grade.

23 September 2008

Despite my exhaustion yesterday, I made myself work on the Wii for over an hour. This hour did conincide with Dancing With the Stars, so in able to do both I worked on the Free Step feature for 10 minutes and then after that I would do activities during the commercial breaks. At some point I forgot to switch back to the tv and kept working on the Wii. Suddenly it was 9 pm, I was hungry and tired. So I grabbed a light dinner and then hit the sack.

Other highlights of yesterday, I drank 40 oz. of water straight up. I know that its not all of the 80 oz. I need to drink, but I am working on getting back into that habit. I need to get into the habit so i can start making me feel full more of the time. The lowlight of the day was when after reading one of my favorite blogs I was inspired to buy a pack of milano cookies at work. At first I just let myself have two and then I put the bag away. Next thing you know I've dragged the bag back out and finished all the cookies. I think I may have eaten them out of boredom. So today when I get a munchie craving - I will either eat the peach I have in my bag or I will grab a piece of gum. And I will drink water.

Right now I have a headache that I think may be related to my anti-depressants. I've taken some advil though so hopefully it will go away.

I also want to add a feature of my journal that talks about what songs make me want to dance (and thus cheer me up).

Today's Dancing song: "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" by the Scissors Sisters.

It's Monday and I am totally exhausted. It's not like I went out and had a crazy time this weekend. No - I was a total homebody. But I couldn't sleep. It didn't matter what I did - I just couldn't do it. So now it's Monday and I am exhausted.

One benefit from waking up exhausted today was that I woke up a little late. By the time I took a shower and got ready for work - I had missed the bus right outside my house. Instead, I had to walk about a mile to the bus stop for the other bus route. That took about 15 minutes at a fair pace.

I did play on the Wii a little bit this weekend. Not as much as I should have. But it's really hard to get up the motivation to work out when your body just feels so tired. Tonight when I get home, I plan on taking my medicine and my melatonin and hope that I fall asleep early- although not before Dancing With the Stars.

These past couple of months while I've been taking the anti-depressants which have affected how I sleep - I've realized how important sleep is to wanting to keep yourself healthy. The days that I don't sleep I don't want to do anything healthy and I just feel all kinda fat and dumpy. On the days where I do get plenty of sleep - I feel like I can just dance the whole day through.

But I will make it through today and tonight I plan on sleeping like a baby
