No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you absolutely, positively do have the power to change. ~Bill Phillips

Well it's been a crazy couple of days. This morning in my spinning class, I was thinking about what I was going to write today and I was kind of depressed because last week I lost a pound finally and kept it off but then I weighed myself this morning and it was back on. Well as it turns out, my husband pointed out that I should have placed the scale on the tile instead of the rug so the 1 lb is still off! HA HA Yes, I guess I'm a dork! So knowing this, I'm in a much better mood!

So first, I will start off with my workouts yesterday. I went to the gym for ashtanga yoga, one of my favorites, love this class, it's so hot, I sweat like crazy and it's so fun to challenge myself to get better every week. Ashtanga is the same every week, maybe sounds boring but I love it, I love trying the balancing poses to see if I'm getting any better which I think I am but it's baby steps! Then after this class, I did some pull ups on the assisted pull up machine, I did 2 sets of wide, underhand and close grip. I don't remember how many I did of each. I also had to point out that I used the "assisted" pull up machine because several people on facebook thought I was bada$$ enough to do a pull up on my own, HA, I doubt it!

Wes and I came home after that, got some lunch and I got on facebook for a bit which is my usual routine, my plan was to do the p90x chest and back video after lunch but somehow I got inspired. A while back, my friend Jennifer invited me into a group called 'the mommy group' and a recipe exchange. I have grown to love these groups and seeing people post there everyday and being able to help each other so I decided that we needed a group of our own for those of us that want to live a healthy lifestyle. I called the group 'we got this' because I found it online somewhere and I loved it and I had actually forgotten it was kind of my friend Rana's motivational theme! She has run numberous mini-marathons and just last fall, she completed 2 marathons! So she did "got it" hehe

So, as of today, we are up to 88 members and lots of active posts going on. I couldn't be happier, it's so inspirational and motivating to me that people truly want to be involved in it and I'm just so excited about it.

I feel like I'm all over the place this evening. Let me get back to the fact that I did finally do the p90x chest and back yesterday after creating the group, although I feel like I only did about 20 minutes of it because having done ashtanga and yoga the day before, I had done a lot of push ups and I had already done the pull ups at the gym so I didn't have much left. But overall, I burned 950 calories in yoga and doing weights.

Today, as I said started out rough, Happy Hump day! I thought I weighed a pound more but I went to the gym depite being kinda bummed. Had a decent workout though I felt like my heart rate was a little higher than normal in spinning class, it was still a great workout and then I did 45 minutes of piyo (pilates and yoga) and felt really good in that class. With everything that happened today, I actually don't remember how many calories I burned but I think it was around 1000.

Wes and I then came home to do our usual routine of eating lunch and getting on facebook. Well, I came home to find that my laptop (I'm on our computer upstairs that we have) had been infected with a virus so instead of cleaning this afternoon and showering and cooking dinner, I had to burn all of my photos to cd's and thumb drives before the computer ate them all! Definitely not what I had planned for the afternoon. Thankfully, I did have time to vaccuum the house and finally got to get in the shower by 5:30. And we had pizza for dinner but considering I didn't eat much all day and was still only at 660 calories by dinner time, I don't feel too bad about eating 2 pieces of pizza! If I get hungry again later, I'm going to make myself a spinach salad or eat an apple, although I'm still a couple hundred calories under my goal so maybe a protein shake too.

That's about it for me right now, I'm going to go spend some time with my hubby, stepson and my son before he goes to bed. Tomorrow, I am going to go to an indoor play place to meet a couple of friends in the morning and then I'm hoping that I have enough motivation when I get home to do some p90x weights. I really have a hard time doing workouts if I don't do them first thing in the morning so I'm going to need help!

Here's my calorie log:
4200 calories burned last week
3500 burned this week (already met my goal)
