THE LAST WEEK
 
 
 
I had a blast this last week.  My energy level was really good.  The sun was shinning so we could go for a lot of long walks.  Part of this last week was to wager points to reach a goal.  I have been struggling with my food.  So I wagered 100 points that I wouldn't exceed my daily calorie limit, even on the weekends.  I am happy to report that I did it, it wasn't easy but that extra reminder helped a ton.  Here is how the rest of the week shook out.
 
 
 
Monday-  Kickboxing 60 min, Zumba 45 min and WOW 15 min
Tuesday-  Zumba 60 min, Hula 60 min, Yoga 60 min and WOW 15 min
Wednesday- Walk 40 min, Zumba 40 min, Pilates 60 min and WOW 5 min
Thursday-  Walk 40 min, Step 60 min, Bike 10 min, Yoga 60 min
Friday- Walk 50 min
Saturday- Zumba 60 min, WOW 10 min
Sunday- Walk 30 min
 
 
 
I am sad to see the challenge end.  This is always a great motivator for me to get off the couch and to fit in my fruits and veggies.  But those are habits now so I should be good to go...

Week April 1st - April 7th- Here's how it went this week...  It was spring break for my kids so I decided to have a relaxing week and just do what felt good to my body. 


Mon-  60 minute Hike in beautiful canyons
Tues-  60 minute Yoga class plus 35 minute on the treadmill
Wed-  65 minutes of Zumba
Thur- Step and Yoga plus 10 min WOW
Fri- 60 minute Zumba and a 60 minute demo of Zumba Sentao
Sat- 60 minute Zumba
Sun- Rest 

I am still fighting with some energy levels, trying to figure out if it is me or medical.  However, I feel much better after a lighter week.  Going to try to start the week strong and take it from there.  I was horrible last week on Freegies, going to really watch that this week as well.  Only 2 weeks left.  Here is to finishing strong...

Here's how it went this week...  I did a lot less strenuous activity and focused on yoga, pilates, and long walks.  Still had to fit my Zumba in though.

Tues- Abs and Buns Nope but I did do a nice hour and 45 min walk with Yoga
Wed- Zumba and Pump  I did Zumba and Pilates
Thur- Step and Yoga Just a 40 min walk
Fri- Zumba Because of a work event I did 2 Zumba classes today and WOW
Sat- Zumba  I love Saturday Zumba did this plus WOW and a nice long walk

The weather is nice here so this week I plan on focusing on outdoor run/walk with the family plus some more Yoga/Pilates with my favorite Zumba thrown in.  No set plan just going to see how my body feels on a day to day basis.  I am going to work on the no sugar and Freggies this week.  I seem to be good with the water.

What I need to work on for next week.  The schedule will stay the same but I will work on the following:

- Foam rolling.  It felt good to get my muscles sore but I need to do better at stretching and foam rolling so I can keep up the full schedule
- Water.  I suck at water during the weekend.  At my desk during the week it is easy to down four water bottles but when we are busy running errands during the weekend I forget.

On to week 2
