Know better

Why oh Why do I feel the need to do this every so often? I know better. I know to get up and do something, I know to keep busy, I know to drink water. I know! Yet, last night was one of those nights. Home alone and enjoying it! I did Zumba, the rebounder, the hula hoop, weights, etc. Then I sat and ate. Yep, I ate and ate and ate. If it was food and in the house I ate it. Pumpkin roll, lots of it after a salad for dinner. Nuts, not just any plain old nut, oh no, I had creme brulle nuts, lots of them too, finish it off with 2 yep, 2 Reeses cups. Someone just shoot me! LOL, up a pound today. Feeling bloated, swollen and ready to start over. LOL, not start over eating. Start over with drinking my water, eating my veggies, getting my workout on. Get back to the tracking and glad that tomorrow is Monday and I will be back to work.

Holiday weekend

2 of my 4 days off are gone. They really do go by quickly. Hubby left for camp this morning, so my next two days are mine and mine alone. Don't get me wrong, I love him to pieces, but sometimes you just need a day to yourself. This is my time! I have plans. When did I get to the age where time alone and cleaning, decorating etc was fun? That is my plan for the next two days. I want this house cleaned, and decorated and ready for the holidays.

However, considering I work up a pound heavier this morning it is also my time to eat a bit healthier, a bit less and move a bit more. Zumba will be in the picture, along with dancing around the living room with the Sirius music on the tv. I want to go back to work on Monday at the same weight or less than before the Thanksgiving holiday. That is my goal.

My other goal involves losing a bit of weight before Zumba workshop in January. That one I really need to focus on. Going to need to get back to basics and get a bit more serious about my nutrition.

Zumba Basics First Workout

Well, that was sure fun. First workout with Zumba Basics. Doesn't seem to be real complicated and I like the way the dvd's show the steps, slow and easy then fast. I have trouble keeping up and some of the time I am just standing there and watching, but don't think its going to take long to learn those basic steps. The ladies and I are going to have fun with this. Should be interesting and I am anxious to have time to get back down and do some more. Not going to be able to until tomorrow though. I have weight management class to teach this morning, the club this afternoon and another class tonight after closing. I love my life.

Less than 2 months

Ok, today I realised I have less than 2 months until I go to take the zumba workshop. I have never done Zumba, although the dvd's are coming tomorrow. Today I noticed my aerobic endurance is not what I would like it to be before taking this class. I do not want to get there and not be able to keep up, plus we will be teaching 2 half hour classes back to back at the club, which means to Zumba an hour. I need to increase my endurance and learn these dvd's. this is going to be my challenge in the next 2 months. When you do a workout make it either Zumba or aerobic endurance on treadmill. Try for 4 weekly, on top of Curves Circuit.

Oh, remember to fit in reading and studying too! And the club

Certification

Now that we seem to finally have the business up and running and I can have a bit of free time I am back on course with my studies. I have set some goals for the upcoming new year. Four to be exact, two personal, two for the business.

One personal goal is to finish my Personal Trainer Certification through the NCSF and I have started studying again this past few weeks. This could be very beneficial to my ladies and I really want this. Hopefully by next Dec it will be done. Maybe sooner, but am giving myself the year. Another personal goal is to reduce the body fat%. That one may be tougher yet!

A goal for the business is to have 200 members. All active members. That is not unrealistic when looking at the numbers and at the area.

We are having a Christmas Party Dec 15, so that should be fun. My half days off right now, can be spent planning that and studying.
