I have been struggling constantly with weight, nutrition and fitness. I am feeling great but the scale has been moving in the wrong direction for me. I weigh myself weekly so that i can stay on track but it hasnt been working. im not quiet sure what is going on. i have been eating the same and working out more. there are a few things that i would like to try and maybe they will help me be successful in my quest to lose weight.
1. new job.
2. drink a gallon of water daily
3. consume more veggies
4. workout 5 days a week.
i have come up with a new workout schedule and i plan to stick with it for the next 6 weeks.
i havent had much of an appetite lately and certain foods just dont look good to me.

I survived last night with my friend. We ran on the track and the stadium stairs. I had to skip twice but thats okay. we were running and my asthma was flaring up like a mug. i feel so tired but i want to go to zumba class today after work. i want to try and keep this up. i may just be tired because i am at work and its boring here.
i talked to my wellness coach this morning and updated her on my activity for the past two weeks
she was real impressed and i am too. i think i can keep this up during the cold months staying indoors for fitness. zumba, krav maga and the track. this is good.

Oh my goodness so having Krav Maga on a Monday night might be a tad bit problematic. i have been exhausted ever since. i am going to have to take it slow because there is no way i can do another class today. i am going to have to build up to that. anyway, i loved my first class. i am so glad i decided to do this. this is a great investment in my quality of life.
i am really ambitious when it comes to planning. I had krav maga scheduled twice this week and zumba twice um no i am going to have to do one krav maga and maybe two zumbas. my booty is sore and my back is on fire.
anyway, my appetite has been great lately. i havent been doing any mindless eating thank goodness. i get so worried that i am eating too much and i am really hard on myself about food and fitness. today i commit to two walks and one workout at home so far i have done one walk so i am on my way.

I feel great for some reason. I feel accomplished and I think it is because I decided to become a group fitness instructor. I don't know where that came from. I was thinking about it years ago but I feel real serious about it now. My first Krav Maga class is tonight and I can't wait for that. i am going to go for the next few Monday and Wednesday nights. I am very excited. I am getting real involved in fitness and I don't know why I never did this before. I think it is because i wasn't a good place myself where i could appreciate it and i didnt know where to go and how much and anxiety was killing me. now that i have taken care of that and i am working on it things are working in my favor.
tonight is the women's only beginners krav maga class. there is one on monday and another one on wednesday although i may consider to go to a different course. I am very excited and i hope i am able to maintain this excitement for a while.
I am having an okay Monday. even thought it is freezing. i am really cold. i dont remember when the last time it was this cold in los angeles. it has been a while but maybe thats because we had a warm summer this year. i ahave no idea i just now that the walk from my car to the building is the coldest thing ever!!!!
Well, i am excited for my class i changed into my workout clothes an hour early so i am just sitting here waiting to go home. i think i am going to leave soon. i hope that the old cowardly lion doesnt show up. i cant stand him.
okay well i am going to get ready to bounce. i will tell you all about my class tomorrow.

I was able to do a run/walk around the perimeter yesterday and I felt good about it. it was really cold but i still did it. yay. i bought a groupon today for krav maga classes 10 of them so i plan on starting that on monday next week for a woman's class. exciting.
okay so i am getting real excited for this plan i have for 2013 and it is to have my own adventures.
marital arts is a big deal for me and i have been talking about doing this for years and i always chicken out. i have krav maga 10 classes and im signing up for 16 classes of karate in march and april. so i will be all over the place and then i have zumba. i think i am covered.
i feel so accomplished now. its weird i havent really done anything but pay for the class but thats a step in the correct direction.
I am trying to get active. i had too much stress last year and this year i am just done with it all. i want to meditate, relax, spa days are in my future. i have 4 planned this year.

Happy Monday!
The most annoying phrase I have ever heard. Anyway, I went to Zumba yesterday and I loved it. I don't know what really pushed me but I told myself that I needed to do this for myself. I think the neighborhood is what was really stopping me but I got over that. I was able to hang. I didn't die even thought I thought I was going too. I will be going again for sure. I have their schedule and they are reasonably priced so I am fixing it in my budget.
I am feeling very enthusiastic today. I think it has to do with my hat that I have been getting so many compliments on today and that I did zumba yesterday. sweating it out works well for me. I have to continue this but i have a cpr class next sunday so i cant go sunday so i am getting my mind set to go on friday afterwork but you know how that goes. i get real tired. maybe i could grab a coffee.
also, i started a different meditation class on saturday and it was amazing. it is longer then the other class so we were able to go over more techniques than before. so we had deep breathing exercise, counting breath exercise and a walking meditation exercise. I found the first and last one easiest. the counting one was difficult and i was so mad at myself with the whole thing. i couldn't do the first two rounds but by the 3rd counting round it was easier.
anyway, just walked in from my second walk break and those things are really helpful to my sanity here. especially after my previous boss showed up to say hi. it was a nice visit and its easier for me to be nice to her now cuz i dont see her everyday all day and deal with her petty crap.
one thing that is real exciting is that i have consumed 8 glasses of water before 4pm. i am on a roll here. lets keep this up for the rest of the week. and i havent been eating everything in site like i was before. i am not sure what that was all about just eating and eating with no appetite but uncontrolable eating. i think the meditation is helping or the zumba or drinking more caffiene. i think if i drink it in the afternoon it is helpful to me but what do i know.
