Ok, so far I have been working on staying in the green and trying to get my exercise completed. We were suppose to have an International day at school. Our school district here in Massachusetts is very diverse. We pretty much cover every country around the world. I work with high school special needs students. My students and fellow co workers were to show a traditional dance, bring in food and be able to say happy birthday in our traditional language. I have forgotten how much energy it takes to dance an Irish reel. I have practiced for 3 days straight, stayed up last night to down load traditional Irish songs and bought 2 loaves of soda bread (I don't bake). Well, mother nature put a damper on all that this morning and dumped 13 inches of snow. School was cancelled.
do you have any idea how many calories are in Irish Bread! I'll be eating this for days! Oh well, pass the Guinness!
Slainte!

Ok,I stayed in the green 5 out of 7 days, ate all my fruits and veggies and drank 8 glasses of water. I fell a little short on the exercise minutes, but I did learn a new Irish dance and practiced for 3 days in order to learn it.0

Hold on, I forgot all the shoveling I had to do on Friday after being dumped with 18 inches of snow. I think I covered my exercise minutes!0

Cardio- 526 for week
5 days in green- Yes
8 cups of water- Yes
2 fruit and veggies - Yes did better on fruit this week.
I didn't try anything new for exercise. I did a different video that was longer but same style stuff.
Challenge this week was Saturday night the whole family had take out food and I didn't. Which kinda had me in a mood and was hard to say no... but I got through it. Phew!
My NSV is I went and tried on jeans with a friend this week and I got to buy new ones that were 2 sizes smaller! Which I have not been in that size in MANY years now. So excited with that one. My first new smaller clothes.
Hope everyone else had a great week!0 -

Hmmm.....not a new exercise, per say, since I walk a lot, but- last week I did a 10 mile walk for the first time.
NSV- Saturday night I wore my purple stretchy Banana Republic shirt that I've been using for my 10 lb loss pictures. That shirt was stretched to the limit when I started, and Saturday it fit nicely and looked fine. 0
