Putting on My Big Girl Panties

I have officially been spinning over a week now...well I thought this week I would add in Dedicated Motivated (a type of great circuit training with a great atmosphere for the non-locals). So I spin Monday, Wednesday, Friday and then go to Dedicated Motivated on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Its been awhile since I had been to Dedicated Motivated and if you look back on my posts I am sure you will see a post about how sore I was the first time. I knew this would be like starting over and I would be sore. I went to Dedicated Motivated on Tuesday and as I am jogging I am beginning to feel Monday's spin class...then Wednesday I got my butt up and went to spin in the morning. I could REALLY feel DM's workout from the day before. Today however it really hurts to walk...I could feel that soreness before I even got out of bed. To top it all off today is Thursday so that means back to DM...I text Kim this morning (she is so good for motivating, keeping me on track, and just there to laugh at me) and told her that I felt like I was going to die lol and that I was questioning DM tonight...however she told me to suck it up...SOOOO I am sucking it up, pushing through the pain and going to DM tonight :) We all need someone like Kim in our lives! Thanks Kim!!

I remember that...

Yesterday I went to spin for the first time in forever...Well I have met my old trainer in the form of a girl named Marjie. It was the best spin class I have had since San Diego. YIKES! Today I am sore to prove it. However, when I walked into the class I heard Marjie explaining how the biked work to two ladies. They were obviously new. The harder the workout got the more I heard them laugh. Then after class they stopped me and another lady and asked how long we have been spinning so we talked for a second and I walked on. I heard them still back by the classroom laughing because their legs were like jello and they couldn't walk down the three steps out of the classroom. I couldn't help but giggle as I walked down the main steps. I just kept thinking to myself...ohhh I remember when Kim and I felt that way...and just wait for tomorrow. I would love to be able to see them today to see how they feel ha ha.Publish Post

Grilled Nuggets?

So Chloe loves Chick-fil-a nuggets...and lets be honest...so do I ...well I am trying to hold myself accountable for what I eat and lets be honest nuggets and fries are not anywhere near a good choice. Chick-Fil-A has a new kids meal with grilled nuggets. I asked the cashier if I could order grilled nuggets in an adult meal and she said absolutely...so I did. I was kind of leery about them but they are GREAT! I found the nutrition on them and they work out to be 2 points per serving of 4 nuggets...So I had 8 nuggets which equals 4 points and a cup of fruit which is 0...I had a great filling lunch that was filled with good choices and it was only 4 points...4...I was shocked! And Chloe likes them too, so we will be eating the healthy route at Chick-Fil-A from now on! These would also be great to pick up if you don't have any chicken on hand for a healthy dinner. So glad I found them...they are a eating out must now :)
