Ugh. If anything, this regular blogging makes me accountable, so since I said I would post pictures, now I have to. I had Nate take them tonight and was dismayed to find that I still look pregnant! How embarrassing! I have lost all of my baby weight and more, but you wouldn't know it due to the permanent fanny pack. It highlights all the more the need to exercise and tone, especially in that area. So here are my pictures. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Today for exercise I tried the yoga workout in the series I listed yesterday. I enjoyed it much more than cardio. The deep breathing reminded somewhat of the technique I used to get through labor. Rather than looking at the countdown clock and thinking "I've only been at this for 3 minutes?!" I looked at it and though, "Wow! It's been 7 minutes already!" I admit, I wasn't able to do all of the poses--and balancing with toddlers pulling on me was next to impossible--but overall, I found it relaxing. Within a few hours, I could feel it. My muscles ache a little, which I take as a good sign.
I burned even more calories by trekking out into the snow to get groceries. I hadn't done a good shopping trip since before Christmas. I left my list at home but was unwilling to turn around, so I did my best at remembering. Somehow, I remembered 32 of the 34 items on my list. Several of those were ingredients for a dish I'm making for my parents tomorrow: Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Cherry Tomatoes, Olives, Feta, and Mint. It reportedly only has 310 calories per serving, so I will still be able to enjoy my weekend with what I hope is tasty food. I'll review it later.
I have to work in the morning, so for now I'll say "Good night!"
