You've got to be kidding. This is what you call serious motivation - payback time for several over-indulgent days.
It's the first anniversary of attending Zumba twice a week. This is from someone who HATES to sweat, or I guess now, "hated" is more appropriate. I've always been very lucky, and so a year ago, I entered a contest and won two weeks of free Zumba lessons. I put them off until the semester ended, but finally had to do it; couldn't waste anything free. And, of course, then, I had to maximize my winnings, so I went three or four times a week. A friend in New York had taken me as a guest, so I knew what to expect. In Florida, the class is very Latin which I prefer to Long Island rap. When I thought of quitting, something my daughter said, motivated me to stay: you can't do Zumba without smiling. So that brings me to this morning, the first time I clocked in three times in a week, and found myself actually enjoying the dynamics of the larger Saturday bumper crowd for Resolution Time - a lot more shouting and group comraderie. So one year later, I love Zumba. Am I thinner, no, but I'm sure my body's in much better shape and my endurance enormously improved. Don't expect to ever get out of the back row; but that's fine, I am proud to be one of the class's oldest members.
No breakfast, but I try never to leave home without water and an apple. So one MacIntosh and a coffee sufficed til 5:30 when I got home. Stopped by Sam's to graze; had a few kernels of low fat popcorn in my mouth when I remembered that corn is out for SB. Ditched the container proudly.
Dinner was a Latin Seasoned Flank Steak with a can of Black Eyed Peas with Jalapenos and a salad with lime, olive oil and garlic dressing. Couldn't resist a small glass of wine. Maybe in the future, if I hit a plateau. Yes, I know all the "shoulds" - eat multiple small meals, eat breakfast. But the reality is that when I leave home, sometimes there is just too much to do before I return. So, day one's ending with a great cup of coffee. All and all, a success.
