Wow what a week. So last Thursday I went out for a run after I dropped the kids off at the bus stop. I did 7 minutes of running, 7 minutes of walking and 4 minutes of running then needing to come home, shower and leave. It was supposed to be my one day of last week but that didn't work out for me. Friday was my regular Aquafit class, I went to Zumba on Saturday morning and taught childbirth ed all weekend. We went and saw Harry Potter Saturday night and Marc got me Raisinettes so I ate after the time I would like to.

This week I am devoted to getting myself back on track. Today I did some training with a client, Christmas shopping, groceries and office work. Tonight I teach another childbirth education class. I have been feeling grumpy the passed few days and today feel quite run down. Maybe some reiki would help.

Not much change to report. I am down to 165lbs, which was 2 lbs and 3/4". I did 45 minutes of bellydancing this morning. I now feel an overwhelming urge to do some kickboxing but don't want the endorphin/adrenaline high so close to bed time. I will just make myself a cup of calming tea, put on the idiot box and let go of the things I can't change, tomorrow is a new day full of different possibilities.

Today was going to be a very busy day, now it has turned to just busy. I was scheduled to workout with a client at 9 am, but that got cancelled. So now I can run some errands before heading to Tansley Woods to teach an 11:00 am Aquafit class, run home for some lunch and head back out to the YMCA to teach another Aquafit class at 1:30 pm, have a shower, run more errands, if I haven't completed them already, clean the house, rake some leaves if weather permits, if not then work on a birth story, make and eat dinner and then off to facilitate the Halton Peel Doula CARE meeting in Brampton. Because the day is busy I will not fit a personal workout in, but I taught a very good Muscle conditioning class last night. I am just waiting for the DOMS to set in.

Yesterday I did so much better than I have been with my fluid intake and I have started taking my vitamins and supplements again. I hope they will help my refuel my slightly depleted body. I have been pretty hard on it lately.

Tomorrow I will weigh in and do a workout. I have asked my personal trainer/superstar Sonny to put together a new routine for me to help me reach my goals. I can't wait to see what kind of sweet punishment she has in store for me.

It is now 9:02 am so most of the stores should be opened, but then again this is sleepy Burlington. Off to start my day. Have a good one.

All right so the move is over and we are settled in. It is time to get back in gear. The last two days I have been lounging in bed in the mornings not wanting to get moving. I find my energy is quite low. I feel like a sloth. I can't remember the last time I did a workout just for me and I really miss dancing. So back on the band wagon. I hung some pictures last week and was looking at our engagement photos. Wow have I changed. So the new goal is to get to the weigh I was at when I got married 155 lbs by Christmas (that was my full term pregnancy weight with Juliet but I was 19 then), down to 150 lbs for my 33rd birthday on January 10th, and settling in at 140 lbs by Valentines Day. Ready, set, shrink.
