Planned Workout: JM30DS, aqua jog
Actual Workout: aqua jog
I am not doing well with this 30DS thing. Today I over slept, ran to get Little Miss to track and field, me to aqua jog, and her to maw maw's so I could go to the office (my now second job) before going to work.
Today was just one of those days, I think. I thought I would be smart and wear my sandals to the gym since I was only swimming. Yeah, forgot to pack myself socks for work. Heel boots with no socks :( Awesome.
I did have a good weigh in this morning:
180.4
That's right. One pound away from how much I weighed when I found out I was pregnant. Almost 5 years ago. Ladies and Gentlemen, I just may be on my way!

Weigh in Wednesday
Planned Workout: Jillian M's 30 DS, aqua jog
Actual Workout: Aqua Jog, run 3k, more swimming
Ok, so I missed a day of my 30 DS challenge. Really, I slept in a little too much, started it, did 10 minutes, then went "oh crap!" I gotta get to the gym! I tried to make up for it.
Plus, I was feeling a little bummed. Today was my 5th day on 30DS and I have really stepped up the exercising this week. And where does that put me on the scale?
189
!!!!!!!
That's right... I gained 4 pounds!!!!
I have been measuring myself and I am losing inches, so I am hoping this it the "muscles have a higher density than fat, so if your are not gaining mass, you are gaining muscle." I don't know the exact ratios...but I think I will look them up.
I will get back to you on that!

Weigh In Wednesday
Planned Workout: Aqua Jog
Actual Workout: Aqua Jog
It is the week of decisions. I need to decide if I want to sign up for another session of my aqua jog class. Yes, I will have to pay for the next session, but I do like it.
Liking it is not the problem. I love the class. The problem is all these other questions I have about the class:
Ok, weight time:
186.4
Well, I'll take it.

Liking it is not the problem. I love the class. The problem is all these other questions I have about the class:
- Can we afford it? We are on a tight budget right now and the class is almost $30.
- Is it working? I feel tired and exercised after class, but I'm not sure I am seeing the results I expected.
- Can I keep up this schedule and fit in more runs?
- What about the fact that I want to swim on free lap time (a totally free activity) now that Little Miss is out of school?
- What about other classes I have been thinking of trying?
Ok, weight time:
186.4

What a week!
Planned Workout: Nothing
Actual Workout: Nothing
This week I have been in a funk. I almost drown myself twice in my swim class. And I only ran 2.5 miles total this week. I haven't logged on to myfitnesspal.com, I ate fast food ( I know, I KNOW!), I skipped my water class totally on Monday.
Despite all this, somehow, I managed to lose weight. I have no idea how. None.
On Wednesday I was really beginning to question whether I am setting my goals too high, whether I will be able to actually RUN an entire 5k in June, whether I will actually get any further in this journey. It was depressing. I honestly think that if Friday's weight would have been higher than the week before, I would have stopped trying.
What makes you feel better when you are in a funk?

Redemption
I had a bad day yesterday. Not just a bad run day. All day. It has been a long time since I have had a completely bad day.
I tried perking myself up several times with many different things:
Bubble Gum lotion didn't help.
Even goofing off and singing to the radio with Little Miss didn't help.
So I was happy just to start a new day this morning.Aqua Jog was good, not great, but a good workout.
Afterwards is where I redeemed myself for yesterday. I ran/walked for 30 minutes. I probably only ran a little over a mile of it, but i pushed myself more than yesterday and did better..even after a 45 minute water workout. I consider that redemption.

Regrets.Concens, and Swimsuits
Planned Workout: Aqua Jog
Actual Workout: Aqua Jog
There are Regrets:
I shouldn't have weighed myself yesterday. It wasn't a weigh in day. I shouldn't have eaten cookies and brownies yesterday. Aaannddd..... I shouldn't have been drying my swimsuit in the dryer all this time.
Then there are Concerns:
I am having a yard sale at the end of the month. I am going through all of my clothes and I really want to get rid of everything too big for me. I think this concerns my hubby. He is afraid I won't have any clothes left.

Then there's this:
My New (to me) Swimsuit
It is 2 sizes smaller than my old one, and made out of a better material. It cost $4. It fits pretty well, with room to lose weight.
I am hoping it will be a good investment. In June I want to start swimming laps. And I am talking up this class to hubby in hopes that we can budget it in for the next session. ( If you haven't figured it out yet, we didn't budget in boot camp this time, and I miss that class.)
