    Feb. Starting Weight: 195.4
    Goal Weight for Feb.: 188
    Goals for Feb.:
    1. Exercise 25/28 days
    2. Drink 2L of water every day
    3. Eat more vegetables

    I've been trying out lots of new exercises. Stayed for an extra 30 min abs class after an easy 15min run and intro to zumba tonight. I thought learning the routines would help me do zumba better, but I was just as confused just a lot slower and more standing around...guess I'll just go for it again next time and make up my own moves when I can't figure out what they're doing :)

    I have managed to get on my treadmil everyday so far this week, and I've been going for about 30min each time and I've also been getting some dancing in and Leslie Sansone 5mile walk. I tried blueberries for the first time and love them!! Actually, I finished the whole container in 3 days so now I'm on to my apples and bananas :) As for my protein, I'm still working on getting it up and keeping it there. Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

    Belly Dancing was great last night. We actually managed to dance for most of the hour instead of goofing off! :D
    My new tattoo isn't completely healed, but I'll be back at the gym after work tonight anyways. I can't let it continue to keep me away from my miles goal! I haven't run yet this month!! And I have a 5k on Sat. that I would like to improve my time by another min. on. Luckily we are running 2 5k's this month, so if I don't make it this weekend, I'll still have a chance! hahaha
    I'm getting in more water today so far. And I'm not going to allow myself to skip logging my food anymore! I've been slacking big time for the last week :(
    So over it though!!

    I did my 30 minutes of workout yesterday. I do the Leslie Sansone 2 mile walk video. It was my daughters birthday and we went out to eat. Went way over may sodium so today I had a .5 gain. Drinking more water today but need to drink tea as well. I have a really bad sore throat. I hope I'm not coming down with something. It's really hard to exercise when your're sick!

    I feel so much better after going to the gym yesterday! I got in a half hour on the bike, 5 miles, but they don't count in my miles challange.
    My tattoo is healing much better now, so tonight I will be doing about 20 min worth of intervals on the treadmill and then a few miles on the eliptical.
    I've been drinking about 9-10 cups of water, although I don't track them here, I guess I could.
    mfkfoster: I hope you're not getting sick! Set backs suck.

    Well that weekend was a semi-bust. Totally forgot to log my meals, though I remember what I had & it wasn't too bad... didn't snack unnecessarily, only had some chips & dip at superbowl & didn't even go back & forth to all the other junk & hubby made a healthy dinner (asparagus is SO much better grilled). But I did some drinkin' b/c of the fights & then Superbowl, so I'm sure that won't be helping. Very minimal exercise, but I was cleaning like a crazy person both days for about 45 min (hardcore too!).

    It's a new week. Planned all my meals for the day, exercise planned for the week & my Starby's visit for the week is checked off (oh Monday- I did have the donut, but only drank 1/2 the coffee), so I'm not even considering it for the rest of the week. Actually, half-way through the latte, I didn't even want it, I wanted water, so thats a plus!

    *Goals for Feb.:
    1. log meals ON THE WEEKENDS! (Weeks are not so bad, weekends- ugh!)
    2. Look through gym schedule on Mondays & pick classes/gym routine for Tues-Sat
    3. Only ONE Starbucks allowed per week. Probably Monday :)

    I wish I could be more active, but I will be laying low for quite awhile. I've been having horrible mouth pains the past few weeks, and I had to go to an oral surgeon for 2 extractions this afternoon. Procedure took 15min once the gas knocked me out. Best sleep I've had in a month!! I have my meds now and I'm home. Now, on the road to recovery. This is gonna be a long week as my Godmothers Grandma passed away on Saturday, the wake is tomorrow.. Hope you all are having a MUCH better week than I.

    mfk- I did lesline's 2 mile walk today! I can't wait until I can walk outside again though!
    brunette- I feel your pain. I got my two wisdom teeth extracted last Tuesday and I'm still in pain. Sorry for your loss.
    Newimproved- is insanity really as insane as it looks? Seems like the pay off is worth it!
    Margie- great job getting back into your routine.
