Yeah, I know I haven’t been updating lately. Mostly it’s because I’m embarrassed that I have nothing successful to report. I’ve been just plain lazy. Although, yesterday I did get off my bum and take a great hike in the mountains with the pooch and a friend. It was pretty strenuous for my fitness level (feeling it in the butt today). Today was the last irish dance practice until September so I ‘ll just have to make better efforts to practice on my own through the summer months.

Anyway, on to the explanation of my post title - we are taking a trip to a Jamaican resort in October so now I have all the more reason to get my fanny in gear which means journaling, staying within points and working out! :)  I’m on the 15 week count down!

Jennette has lost 192 lbs! Check it out in this video and read her new book:

My friend invited me to a Jazzercise class tonight. It was fun and the workout level was manageable for me and my (lack of) skill. Has anyone else tried Jazzercise? I like that it was close to my house - 2 minute drive. They let you try the first week for free so I didn’t have to pay anything. I do so much better with exercise when I have something regularly scheduled - like my Irish Dance classes on Saturdays. So.. I am debating if I want to join or not. There is no contract or anything, just a monthly fee. We’ll see…

As far as staying in points today, I did a pretty good job by planning ahead and including snacks, although I didn’t get the healthy guidelines as evidenced by the fact that I had chicken for every meal. ;p

Breakfast  -  4pts (Chicken)

Lunch - 8 pts (Chicken & rice

Snack - 4 pts (banana, cracker w/ laughing cow cheese)

Dinner - (Chicken cordon blue & green salad)

180 lbs

Up 2 lbs from last week.

Up 6 lbs over my lowest weight.

Bottom line - I need to get serious. I say I am serious then I do things like eat a million sweets at the work potluck and sit on my butt when I planned all day to get some activity in.  I don’t know where the motivation has gone. It’s in there somewhere.. and I’m just having a hard time finding it.
