11/30/11

What a great day I had yesterday!

Kelly and I did some Pilates moves plus the Sun Salutation over lunch. We worked hard to get the breathing right. I read the instructions first and she did it and then we switched. Maybe we can do it together today without reading, there's lots of inhaling and exhaling that needs to occur at specific times. The Pilates stuff was hard I'm always proud when I can keep up with her and hold positions just as long as she can.

I decided to work out after Aidan's dance class last night instead of going this morning. It was pretty busy at the Y and I wasn't in the mood to share the weight machines so I did the following:

elliptical machine - level 8 for 15 minutes
bike - level 7 for 15 minutes

This was a good workout since I usually go fast at level 5, instead I went a little slower but could feel it and kept my heart rate up!

Eating went well. During the day I'm fine but the evening is always tough. I had a 1/2 of an enchilada for dinner and green beans. Of course, I wanted snacks in the evening but had the almonds and was o.k. I just usually go to bed hungry but I guess that's better than going to bed stuffed! Watched one of my favorite shows, "I used to be fat" which is always inspiring.

My neck feels better today! Maybe is the yoga? Maybe it's just luck? I'm going to keep at it.

Happy Wednesday!
Thank goodness
