Promise

This is more than just my November promise. This is a life promise to myself. 

It is so easy to eat well and stick to a workout plan during the week and then my plan falls to $h!t over the weekend. Here's the breakdown of the last few days.

Saturday: Crappy weather meant a lazy day spent in bed catching up on all our favorite shows. I didn't work out but tried to balance that with good food choices - a hearty breakfast, light lunch (shakeology) and pho for dinner. We had fried and fresh spring rolls as well...oops. Too good to pass up.

Sunday: We pretty much ate out all day on Sunday celebrating my mom's birthday. I was able to do 45 mins of cardio at the gym. I made all right choices and made sure not to pig out too much.

Monday: We signed up for a new gym. Well, sort of new as it was my old gym. Gold's wasn't cutting it anymore since they don't offer too many classes so the hubs and I went back to Lifetime Fitness. It costs 2x Gold's but I think it's worth it. Plus we aren't tied down to a contract since it's month to month so at least if we don't use it, we can cancel at any time. But we will use it! For signing up we got MYLT dollars that we are using for Team Fitness. Team Fitness is basically bootcamp light. It's for people who are trying to get in better shape. Because signing up took forever (we got there around 7 and didn't leave until about 8:30) and didn't eat before, we went straight to dinner and skipped the workout.

Tuesday: It was G-no's (my bro-in-law) birthday so we had dinner out. I ate fairly light but because dinner was late (didn't start until about 7:30) and was in the city, we didn't get home until after 10. Again, no workout.

So today, I plan on making up for the lack of working out the past couple of days. The hubby and I are trying to take Strike (a kickboxing class) and hot yoga at the gym tonight. A double - I hope we last! I took Strike once a week for about 10 months but haven't taken it in a year since Gold's didn't offer it. I'm hoping Strike invigorates us for yoga...

Today looks promising. Tomorrow looks even better!
