I love kickboxing!
Went to kickboxing!! And had a wonderful day afterwards. Nothing like punching the hell out of the heavy bag, followed by some hards kicks to relieve aggression and get fit all at the same time. Hopefully will make it to Jui-jitsu tomorrow as a follow-up :)

Weight loss challenge
So far the weight loss challenge has been a bit of a wash. The last week of school with all of its treats, staff party, Rick's last few days of shutdown, drinking wine and beer and loving life. It's been a fantastic week, but it's time to get serious and quit sabotaging myself!
Heading to the gym today to do my program that Rob the Psycho made for me, so tomorrow ought to be particularly ouchie with sore muscles :) But in a good way, of course. I have decided that in addition to hitting as many kickboxing classes as possible this summer, that it's time to start going to Pilates and yoga classes too. I took a look at the gym schedule and some of the classes I want to go to are still in the evening, but there's a few during the day. Frankly I don't see much point in going to some of the classes, I want to see results, not prance around just for the fun of it. If it's not going to push my sorry ass to work harder, it's just not worth it. Not sure about trying spinning class, I know it burns a million calories, but I think it would be a little hard on the knees. We'll see. Maybe in a couple of weeks for a change?!
Hope everyone is enjoying this fabulous heat wave...makes for uncomfortable sleeping. However, I'm not complaining, it's all part of summer!

heading to the gym
A light dinner, then heading to the gym. Going to do a "light-ish" workout, don't want to overdo it. I might be limping tomorrow for Primary Playday at school....

Weight loss challenge
I'm signing up for a weight loss challenge at my gym. Winner gets 6 personal training sessions! Even I can hold it together for 6 weeks (and those poor women so do not know how competitive I am!). Since the craziness is almost over, I think I can do really well with my goals, and hopefully kick some butt! I would love some FREE personal training, who wouldn't?
Weekend full of the wrong foods, too much Bud Light with lime, and wine, time to get down to serious business...my friends at work look to me for fitness advice, and I feel like a fraud! I do nothing but eat these days. Really time to get my act together and not undo all the work I've put into fitness.
So look for my diet journal, I'm going to try to post at least every other day. Although with the end of school, I will have more time on my hands and will likely be posting more often. I'll also be posting my workout journal. Posting and knowing all of you are reading should be some additional incentive! Looking forward to the re-opening of the Shelburne pool, I'm planning to do some swimming for cross-training. They have lane swims a couple of times every day. Perfect for the ex-lifeguard/swimming instructor...my original fitness love! Now to find a decent bathing suit that's actually good for real swimming...not like the sexy beach kind I normally wear (ha, ha), with my Katherine Hepburn hat!
I know the next week at the gym will be difficult, too many weeks of not being to get there and do some resistance training. Rob's going to kick my butt when I go back to his class, but that's what I need!
Had some Ontario strawberries yesterday, with the oncoming fresh Ontario crops eating well will be so much easier and sooooo delish!
Hope to see you at the gym ;)

time!!!
Once again fitness has been derailed by lack of time! Report cards, lacrosse tournament...the list seems endless. Next week after everything is back to normal there will be more posts, and I will be hitting the gym ALOT!

Hot!!!
I braved the heat and went to kickboxing--it was sweet, nicely air conditioned. Before class I weighed myself and I've lost 1.5 of the 4 lbs I gained. I should have weighed myself after, probably sweated of another 10!!
Doing fairly well with the food side, would like to get to the gym more. I haven't been doing my program, only classes. I have a feeling I will pay for that when I do it later this week.
Still trying to get my butt out of bed to do my "fitness homework" every morning....unfortunately I like that extra 15 minutes of sleep. Thinking about doing a run/walk in the a.m. with my pup. She needs the exercise too, and it's too hot later in the day.
Need to eat something, a handful of peanuts doesn't really qualify as dinner :)
Love to hear from you, it helps to keep me motivated. Let me know how your goals are going too!
