Check In....

Dudes...I just realized now that I have 34 blogs I guess I gotta take this thing live lol. Then my second thought was "wow...I think about my Life in terms of eating and exercise A LOT " lol... Well I'd rather talk about it and anything else on my mind everyday, making paint drying slow process, than to be whining about the same thing and not accomplishing anything physically OR mentally lol. And you know what...even though I have had little progress on the scale I must say that after 8 weeks of futility I am finally feeling better, more aware of my eating habits and dare I say it...exercising every week lol. Yesterday we had the big Mardi Gras potluck at work and my plan worked fantastically....till someone brought out that dam raspberry coffee cake. Okay here's my thing...I LOVE baked goods. And I mean the good stuff...doughnuts, coffee cakes, birthday cake, pies, cobblers real stick to your bones stuff. And I can pretty much resist them as long as I don't see them. Yesterday I had a 5 point breakfast in preparation for the lunch festivities. I would have been right on plan had I not eaten the stupid coffee cake. I mean I'd already had a cupcake but it was like it was calling out to me "Earl, earl, I am good, I am raspberry coffee cake...EAT ME, EAT ME SEYMOUR" ...hee hee movie/theatre nerd.....:) Luckily, since I woke up yesterday feeling like I'd gotten kicked in the sacrum I did 30 minutes of stretching yesterday morning, then came home and did my ENTIRE dancing with the stars toning video! Yup never done more than two dances and I did all three AND the cool down! This is also because I tried to find my Zumba class in Logan Square yesterday which ended up with me outside what appeared to be a large house or an old fashioned 3 flat apartment building. Dudes there were like no lights on the first two floors lights on and a fan going on the top floor, but the website did not say 3rd floor or give a suite number??? There were also no signs for Chicago Women's Fitness so I took my happy ass back home. I wasn't about to walk up to someone's home/apartment randomly in Logan Square no thank you. Plus I know the website said their classes were in private lofts I didn't think that literally as in someone's home lol. I need to email that chick to clarify. Hell if you're gonna run a business at least put up a dam sign or answer the phone! Grrr...lol.... -Phearl p.s. Just realized that I had pointed every meal and snack for TWO count them biatches TWO FULL DAYS! Clouds are parting and small children are rejoicing somewhere lol....
