'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 4/29

ok, I feel like a lazy bum... but I also know I'm not one... I should have exercised last night, but I didn't... This whole weekend was consumed by apartment damage control (due primarily to wedding clutter... I'm sure you can relate).... food shopping and LOTS of cleaning and organizing...

I promise I'll exercise in an hour or 2....

as for the diet... it also has been pitched out the window... we made pasta! My rationalization is that I'll just eat smaller portions...
(must admit, though... I invented a lovely recipe... chicken in a basil / lemon / wine / onion / cream sauce.... but I digress..)

how did you do today?

Well yesterday was great. I went for a 4 mile boardwalk walk/jog with my sister and had a healthy day. then had a party and didn't snack at all and drank vodka and water.

Today I slept until 12 and got up to have 2 hebrew national all beef frank 97% fat free (2 ww points) and a cucumber salad. I have been marinating chicken breast in terriaki for dinner and am boiling water for corn on the cob.

i stretched for a half hour but Sunday is my only no excersize day.

I had my bachelorette party this weekend, so needless to say, I ate a lot of crap and drank a lot of alcohol! Oh well....all in good fun

Today was a good day as far as eating for me. I had a banana, celery sticks with peanut butter, Cambells healthy choice vegetable beef soup, and a filet mignon for din din.

FH and I went on a bike ride this afternoon but Sundays are my day off from exercise, so no gym for me today.

I've lost 61/2 lbs so far. 5 more to go!! <-----jumping jack

I got to gym but didn't have enough time before class to do cardio as long as I should-

did 15 minutes on the stairmaster (those constantly moving stairs- whew!)
then had an hour of strength training class.

It was funny - the instructor asked if we had any requests...and I requested an interval class- I like intervals of cardio within weight training so that I don't have to feel so bad skimping on cardio. The class HATED me for it!

I'm not stressing over it until the last month... late June/July I will really watch and exercise daily. I hit the gym today and will get there as much as possible. My next fitting is May 2, wow - this wednesday - I almost forgot... oh well, too late to exercise my butt off for that, I'll have to go as is, I really don't deviate much in inches though over the last several years surprising enough... I always heard such bad things about the 30's. Not so bad...
