I am feeling great!

It's amazing how making a handful of small changes can really make a big impact on a person’s life. So, I have been walking at the ‘Stratford Oval’ Mondays and Wednesdays—at first we (yes, Glenn, I’m talkin’ ‘bout you) were going for 30 minutes, today we stretched it out to 45 minutes. We may try to fit an hour in next week, but we have to be mindful of the time (I MUST get my son by 5:30!).

The walking is great though, great!

Also great is my fitness class. I like that different people are at different levels of fitness in the class and I never feel like I’m the ‘slow girl’ or that I’m holding other people up.  What I am feeling are muscles that I forgot I even had! It’s all good!

My new sneakers are fantastic—comfortable, supportive… same can be said about my athletic bra! Seriously, more women should seriously consider investing in one... seriously.

I’m a little anxious about going to my nutritionist. Not a bad anxious, more of an eager anxious. I completed my 5 days of food tracking, and I’m interested to see what is said about it, what needs to change, and the processes that are yet to come.

While at my nutritionist this Friday, I will get weighed and measured… I’m not at all nervous about it. Honestly. I’m excited to get my ‘starting point’ recorded, knowing that I’ll be able to look back at it in a year and say, “huh, what a difference, eh?”

 Already I am noticing a difference with the slight changes I've made over the last 11 days. I like the 'transition time' that my exercising is giving me-- I have time to blow off steam between being a teacher and being a mum. I am eating because I need to feed my body and not because I'm bored. Also different-- I'm sleeping better too!

I've got a dancing date

A dear friend of mine will be on the Island next week and she wants to hit the floor with me at The Gate. We'll be there on January 19th-- if anyone else is interested, you’re welcome to come along!
