I did the kickboxing class on Friday. I am so proud of myself because I am the type of person that will avoid anything that will make me look like an idiot, regardless of the fact that other people may look idiotic as well. But I thought if I'm going to "grow" as a person I've got to be willing to take chances. So I went and I actually liked it and I will return this Friday.
My eating and exercise routines were a bit off kilter this past weekend. I went to visit my parents for the long weekend. Healthy eating choices are not widely available at my mom's house because she's not a big eater so she eats what she wants. My dad works in manual labor and burns off every bit of his caloric intake. I did go out and purchase some veggies (which were eaten up immediately by my siblings), and made a ginormous salad (once again eaten up by the rest of the family). So I didn't do too badly, given that I tend to overeat around other people. Sunday night we did have homemade chocolate cake and ice cream. Last night we toasted marshmallows around a campfire. I did get in some walking this weekend but no running. It was heavy rain and thunderstorms all weekend so I don't feel bad. I just know that I have to maximize the rest of the week at the gym.
How is everyone else doing? Do you find it easier to stick with your plan and exercise in the summer or the winter. I'm learning that winter was easier for me. I think it's the unstructuredness of summer that makes it more difficult for me. I can't wait to get back to work...um, did I just wish the rest of my summer vakay away?

Please keep us updated on the progress with the kickboxing class. I may try one of those myself. :)
I'm like you in that winter was easier for some reason. I've enjoyed the warmer weather, but I seemed to have more structure during the winter months. Go figure.
Have a great week!
Yay for kickboxing! Very impressed that you went.
Thanks for the super kind comment, you're so sweet. =)
Good job on putting yourself out there and trying something new. I'm so glad you liked it and will be going back for more.
For me the seasons don't seem to matter so much, mostly because I live in a place where it's pretty much nice weather 361 days a year. The other 4 days it might be raining. For me it's just more important to have a routine to stick with. If I have that, I'm pretty much good to go.
Keep up the good work!
SUmmer SUCKS For staying OP... camping, travelling, family, friends... it just never ends. My fiancee and I were just saying last ngiht we can't remember a day when we just stayed home and watched a movie together - our favorite thing to do!!!
But I just keep plugging along, gain after loss after gain after loss, and hope I don't "dent' my WI's too badly!
I'd love to join a kick boxing class.. sounds like fuN!
