Wednesday checkin 1/26

The rest of last week went well, Pilates in the morning then either weights or zumba in the afternoon alternating. I am only at 20 mins on zumba right now, but it is better than the zero I was doing!

Monday I skipped as my dau was up visiting until midnight, and I was up at 5 am. I have learned through experience that if I exersize when I am exhausted it is actually dangerous. I get careless and can do more harm than good.

Tuesday was mostly skipped. None of the 3 wanted to attempt to anything they were suppose to, so my day was spent chasing after them. I did go through an old stretching routine that I use to do, based on gymastics, it did touch a lot of muscle groups.

This morning, I have done my pilates. This afternoon I will do the WII fit.

I have not weighed myself this week, but I feel better and that actually is the goal behind me doing this. The weight will be a natural byproduct of the work.

As far as foods, I am steering the kids away from the sugar infested, chemically altered boxed stuffed. Today we had baked oatmeal, and I have collected a variety of things to try for breakfast versus the processed stuff. I had been doing this for a while but got away from it.

I cannot stand to throw out food so as I run out of what have become staples, I am identifing and using homemade instead. For example, I was using canned cream of mushroom soup for many dishes. Now I make a medium white sauce, add whatever spices will be appropriate for the dish, then add mushrooms.

We already buy our beef and lamb from a local rancher, so it does not have the chemicals and hormones so readily offered at retail stores, we have venison in the freezer (and home canned!)

Despite a couple of missed days, I think it has been a pretty good week.
