So I had a very active Weekend.  Friday was another great work out at the gym with Jason... it was not so cardio inspired... but it kicked my buttocks.  I had a great time at Bunco ... I filled half my plate with a salad so that I would fill full and satisfied amongst all the yumminess that is!  I did pretty good I did not feel like I over ate or had to feel guilty.
Saturday I got up and did ZUMBA dance at the gym! It blends tons of different styles of dance into one class... Salsa, tango, latin... alot of hip shaking! OMG the best Cardio work out ever! It was amazing and fun and high paced.  They only offer it at the gym on Wednesday at 11 am ... which I think BITES Butt... all the instructors say everyone is begging for more class times... I hope Kennedy listens! One instructor told us today we could take classes outside the gym at dance studios for approx $6-$8 per session... my only response to that is between what I pay for my trainer and gym membership... I do not have another $ to spend to take classes outside of the gym... I hope Kennedy adds at least 1 Zumba class on Saturdays at either SLO or AG.  I stayed around the gym until 11am for the Outside exhibition class Jason was teaching for the Open House AG Kenendy was having.  It was alot of fun and a work out... it was about 25 minutes long and felt really good.  I was teamed up with another girl that Jason trains... her name is Sheri and she and her husbands usually train right after me.
Jen came down around 6:30 and we headed out to the beach for the bon fire.  Last time we stopped and got cheese burgers and fries before we went down... this time I packed us a healthier meal ... chicken salad sandwiches on whole wheat  bread... rice cakes... grapes... it feels good to find healthier ways to do what I want.  We of course had some beers .... I got the MGD 64s... I think they taste great and the calories are within my budget :-)  We walked back and forth at least 5 times in the soft sand and it killed and burned... so I know I burned all my calories.
Sunday we got up I made French Toast and got some Coffee... Jen and I headed up to SLO and I started to not feel so good... really bad.  We canceled our Avila plans and I headed home... curled in a ball and layed on the couch all day. I felt really bad to not being active but my tummy was buggin... so Sunday was a flop day!
Today I got up around 9am .. and hips were killing me... I was so happy I had a chiropractor appt scheduled for today.  I went and took a swim at the gym to help my back and I was going to sit in the hot tub... but of course it was closed :-( for cleaning... No Fair! but at least I got a 1/2 hour in the pool.  My chiropractor was running late as usual so I missed Power and did Active instead... I was not impressed with my performance at all... I really felt like I didn't give it 100% ... I am hoping it is just a aftermath of yesterdays upset stomache... I just felt drained during the class... but my hips felt much better after my adjustment.  I feel like I am keeping my food in balance ... and I think I could still do better.
My overall mood is 50/50 I still want to see my numbers drop faster for all the work...I need to focus more on the health side then the vanity side
