SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 11th

yoginimary

Early. Gotta do this for the next month on Saturdays for yoga. Never really understood those that like to get up early. Though, when it's in the 100s every day, I can see the appeal.

Husband and I went to the gym last night. Did the cybex for 30 minutes - I need to up the intensity of cardio again, ugh. Also walked a bunch yesterday. Today is the three yoga classes, and husband wants to go back to the gym. Need an inspiring yoga sequence - don't have much of a plan today - just drawing a blank. I could always do the "look, ma, no hands" routine I did Wednesday (standing poses with out arm support).

No going out to eat? I wouldn't make it a week. We usually go out every Fri and Sat. We might even go out for lunch this weekend since it's husband's birthday week (we do a week of celebrations - going out with friends or family). He wants to by an HDTV for his birthday. Oh well, I guess everyone wastes money on different things.

Ok, I'm rambling on because I'm sleepy.

Weekend boogaloo!

Good morning. I wanted to sleep in this morning but the cat would not shut up about 6:30. I threw pillows at her and everything. lol. She was out of water. So I decided I would get up and go run this morning. Then Alex got up, and after that I lost motivation. :grumble: I need to bust a move on cleaning the house anyway. I've got a couple hours worth the work to do.
I've been grouchy for about a month - well for a long time now - and I don't know why. Maybe it's just because it's so stinkin' hot. I don't usually stay in a slump this long. It's not like me. I hope I snap out of it soon.
I did bad last night. We went out to eat. It tasted good and I don't regret it. I'm back on track today and I'll get it together. I think we may eat out with my family tonight but I will make better choices. I didn't even want to tell you all that we ate out last night. I guess I feel a little guilty because I seem so wishy washy.
I'd better get cleaning. I want to get things cleaned that don't usually get cleaned.
Have an awesome weekend!

Looks like getting up early is going around. . .

I quit eating out because I was falling into a pattern of doing it twice a day, every day, and not even an enjoyable meal out with my husband, but a take-out meal by myself. So, I challenged myself to not to do it, mostly to remind myself that I like to cook, and I like to eat the food I make. I'm just trying to focus on the food prep and mindfully eating what I make. Also, for the moment, saving money to spend on the epic road trip has become a motivation.

Today is a session on the elliptical, shopping for food for today and tomorrow and cleaning the house a bit. (I'm having some private students come to the house for tutoring, and it's pretty messy. . .) Also, water and vits.

Take care even if it's raining boogaloo!:flowerforyou:

That's mostly for me, because I hate to walk to the gym in the rain, and it's going to rain any second here. . .

I've noticed the excessive heat effecting many people. A month of 100s will do that.

Hey Mary, do you know anything about "yoga paws"? I'm debating getting some for my trip so I don't have to bring a mat to do yoga in my rooms along the way. . .

Also, on a side note:

There was a pouring rain thunderstorm that I didn't want to go to the gym in. But, I got dressed, sucked it up and grabbed my umbrella. . .when I got outside, it had stopped raining, and my walk to the the gym and home was dry. Then, about five minutes after I got home, it started pouring again. . . apparently Mother Nature herself approves of my workout regimen!

Never tried the yoga paws. I use a travel mat - it's really thin and folds up nicely.
