In attempts to tighten it all up for bathing suit season (which starts WAYY earlier in NoVA than in NY!) I decided to diet and exercise. Miriam brought me along to her gym as a guest for this past week, and it has been fun! We did zumba, body flow which is like a mix of yoga and tai chi, and body combat which is mixed martial arts. The classes are all an hour long, and they all kicked my ass pretty hard. I will actually miss not going to the gym, my guest pass expires on Monday. My mission this weekend is to find somewhere else to take classes for relatively cheap, because I would like to continue, but not at this gym because it's expensive!
So, eating healthy has not been as easy as exercising. I did awesome the beginning of the week, Miriam and I made a delish stir fry on Sunday. Monday for lunch Miriam and I made salads with tuna. For dinner I made steak feta (my fave, but I didn't do it justice compared to Glenn's way of doing it). Tuesday I had soup. Wednesday night was turkey tacos. Glenn and I went out to dinner at Mad Fox Brewing Co on Thursday and it was the first time I wasn't awesome on my diet. I had fried pickles (frickles) and pizza. But the pizza was healthy-ish. Is was Mediterranean, and had olives, tomatoes, artichoke, and spicy chicken. Then last night, I was REALLY bad and had Taco Bell because we were out and about and I was SO hungry. I feel like it was the better choice over Burger King though. I basically have kicked any sweet drinks and have been drinking either water or milk. (Exception for dinner both Thursday and Friday nights, I had root beer).
The way I see it is you cannot completely change all of your habits (eating and exercise) immediately. It would be too hard, and I wouldn't be able to stick with it if it was extremely strict. This way, I'm making healthier choices, and as it gets easier over time, maybe I will be able to be more strict about it.
Ok, so that wasn't really an update on my life, but hopefully I'll pull some pictures off my iPhone and do a life update tomorrow!
You must not be eating with Glenn because he pics don't look healthy lol. One request- change your font color. Us followers are going blind.
