A fool blames the scale & other factors; In the morning & in the evening - ohhhh yes! :)

It’s 6:00am and I’m taking off for my morning kickboxing class.  It’s been about 6 months since I went to any morning classes.  Certainly taking advantage of having two cars.  And I got 8 hours of sleep.  I love my morning instructor.  Blaithin, this woman kicks a$$!  She, like you run marathons and does a lot of outdoor activities as well as teach yoga and kickboxing.

Honestly girl, my run love died for a minute.  I think I’m holding off because the minute Rod mom comes and we down to one car, I have no choice but to run a lot.  On top of that I tend to do things in waves.  So, running, when I do get back, it’s hardcore baby! :)   I like to mix it up anywayz.   Never get burnt out on any one exercise.  Cross training keeps it all fun and fresh.

Anyhow, off I go.

And this evening it’s with LANA!  Another one of my favorite instructors.  I have kickboxing and it’s HIP HOP #3!!!!!

I love love love eating all my fruits and veggies during the day.  At night I get to indulge in some meat..yummooooo.  Except last night my brother made buffalo wings and I had 2 of them.  Oh well!!!

Also, been poppin’ handfuls of goji berries and cacao bits (raw chocolate).   Gives me a lot of energy.

One thing about weight loss, you have to be patient.  Too many people get discouraged easily.  So what if you didn’t lose a lb?  You are losing other ways.  Don’t get hung up with that scale.  It will drive you nuts. Over and over again I see people get angry and upset over the scale and how dare the scale do this to them………hmmmmmm scale did nothing to you.  THAT’S YOU!  I take ownership for my scale every day.  Yep, it’s all about me and what I did.  A fool blames everyone and everything for their lack of loss.

Now you see why I rarely visit the scale?  Also, the closer you get to goal, as many of you are, the harder it gets.  Doesn’t mean you ARE NOT making progress.

It feels good to feel like me again! DRIP..DRIP..DRIP…

Oh my!  Can I tell you - HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO DO MY THING!!!!!!! WHOO HOOOOO!! I was so drenched in sweat felt like I took a shower! LOL  Seriously I love dripping sweat from kicking my own boootay!!

I at so much lean protein, veggies and fruits today - good for you but so low in cals that I just did not eat enough for 3 classes.  I knew this going in.  Hence I bought my energy bar - ate 1/2 before and 1/2 after Step.

Did Nygel Bring it?  OH HE** to the YAH!  She brung it and some!  Step was the bomb!  Kickboxing was the shi*!!!  I knew after two hours that I could not do the 3rd class.  So I bow out but knew I put it on for the two.

There is always tomorrow right?

So tomorrow if I can, I want to get a sweet 2 miles in before going to work and the sun rise.  Then it’s all about weights, well interval training and Pilates in the afternoon.  OH and of course push-ups.

I am feeling the burn and LOVING IT!!

Yep, too high off exercise to care what I SOUND LIKE! :) LOL!!  And seriously, no one can take this feeling away from me!

Funny, this is the first day I barely hit my calorie count but I sure ate a ton of food.  I like getting a lot of fruit and veggies in early, it gives me room to eat what I want later on in the evening.
