Belly be gone!

where to begin?  not sure…

ok…vegas was good.  i now know why it’s called sin city - it’s SINful the amount of food i ate!!!  i got in one good day of exercise - went to the fitness center and had a good run, and then that day we walked ALL over the strip.  needless to say, my body was aching!  got to see the hoover dam - this was really cool and i learned a lot and we even went on the tour that went inside the dam!  very cool!!!

came back and have been trying to get back into a routine - whatever that is.  but, before that, i let myself eat quite a bit…ugh.  but no more!  i have decided that i’m going to track all my food and exercise.  this came about b/c i decided i wanted to track my exercise.  and i figured if i’m tracking exercise, then i should track food, too.  esp since i haven’t been tracking food in a LONG time and i really want to drop another 10 lbs or so.  and, i should be honest w/my food, too.  even if i eat 120984153449817 points a day!!!  i don’t know if i’ll be putting all this in my blog, but i put together a spreadsheet this morning for me to track.

meanwhile - i tried my first spin class this morning!  it wasn’t too bad.  i don’t know that i necessarily pushed myself as much as i should have.  but  there were definitely times when my thighs were hating me!!!  we’ll see how the legs feel tomorrow!  right now, my tush is starting to feel it - the part of sitting on the bike seat.  i’ll go again - i’m going to the sunday morning class, and i’ll do this for a few weeks.  my knee was clicking a little bit - i hope this is something that will go away as i do this more and my knees and thighs get conditioned to this kind of exercise.

that’s about it on the eating / exercise front.  meanwhile, we’re getting TONZ of rain.  which is good because we SO need it (this is the driest, or will be the 2nd driest year on record), but it’s a pain with taking the dog out to go to the bathroom.  she has to stay on the leash all the time because of her stitches (she was spayed while we were in vegas) - they have to stay clean for 10 days!

and with that - she is going stir crazy since she can’t really run around and play - again b/c of her stitches.  so she’s been driving us crazy.

out to eat….have a good evening!
