Back at it again!

It was a busy week for me.  I was on my feet and walking all day, every day from Sunday through Wednesday.  By Wednesday afternoon, I was anxious to be sitting on a 5 hour flight.  No standing or walking required!  I didn't loose any weight while I was gone (there were wonderful after parties with booze and yummy appetizers), but I didn't gain any either.  I ate sensibly, even at the after parties, and I actually only went to dinner on one night.  And I shared that meal with my colleague so I didn't even eat it all!  And I didn't drink overly much either.  I think I had 2 glasses of wine at one of the parties and only 1 at each of the others.  And those calories were quickly burned when we walked to the next function.  I didn't drink enough water.  And I did it on purpose.  My feet we aching and the bathroom was literally 1/2 a mile from my booth.  I didn't want to go there any more often than necessary.  I paid for my lack of water with swollen feet and fingers, so I'm sure the system backfired, but I still couldn't make myself drink more. 

I have gone to Curves every day that I have been home, since the day I signed up.  I even brought my workout clothes today in case I can get out of work early and hit the gym before my quilt group meets up.  And I plan to go tomorrow morning as well.  There is a Zumba class at 11:30 tomorrow and I might have time to squeeze that in.  

I am more convinced than ever that I will not be able to stick with Curves forever.  I am getting a good workout and as long as I bounce a lot on the boards between the machines I can keep my heart rate up.  But I can see how I will get bored with the routine if I'm not careful.   I like how they put trivia questions and other word games in the center of the circle.  That does keep my brain engaged for the first round and I power through the second knowing I'm almost done.  I'm glad for the convenience of the gym as it is just around the corner from my house and I can just go in and jump into the circle whenever I can.  I don't have to be there at a certain time for a class, which is nice.  So here is hoping that I can keep it up for a while before I need something else to move onto.  I'm fickle, but I'm lazy.

Hope Shari is doing well this week!
