Random Thoughts

I weigh 2.6 pounds less today than I did yesterday.  That is stupid.  I will be weighing on Sunday and then handing my scale over to Lizard for the month of August.  The thought kind of makes me want to puke but the first sentence makes me realized that it just doesn't matter and I have to get it out of my head. 

I have been very hungry in the afternoons lately.  I decided to start keeping a hunger journal to see what is going on.  I think I might be "saving" too many calories for the end of the day.  But after working out, I don't really need them.  The real problem is that I still use them.  I'm not sure and I thought if I start taking notes, I might be able to work it out.

I don't know what goji is (except it keeps making me thing of Big Love...) but it is tasty in my yogurt.

I'm ridiculously excited about Chi-Town Jazzercise!  We all know I'm a big nerd.  :)  But I just think Jazzercising with all of you fun peeps will be so great!!

Speaking of Jazzercise, last night's class was great!  We have some new routines which are the ones we did when I was at the taping in Vegas.  A lot of booty shakin!  Plus (also speaking of my nerdhood), our owner fixed the stereo cabinet that has been kind of broken lately and now it pushes like a dream.  It is the little things, people!  I thought I was going to crush myself with that thing last week.  Plus they painted it, so it is pretty too.  :)

If it is going to be 104 outside today, why am I sitting in my office in a fleece jacket and still freezing?  I do think that running outside at CrossFit has REALLY made me more tolerant of hotter temperatures, but in turn, less tolerant of cold ones. 

Speaking of CrossFit, our group will be making up our own Workout of the Day today.  Bach said that it is usually the hardest workout of the entire month long class because people want to include so much.  I will do whatever these folks throw at me!  Hopefully we can focus on 100m & 200m runs instead of 400m & 800m runs, but whatever. 

I'm going to do some walking at lunch.  Nothing strenuous, but I would like to get in some extra steps.  My weekend numbers were HIDEOUS!  And Friday I have lunch AND dinner plans, so I would like to offset that early. 

I'm going to the Maroon 5/Train concert in September.  YAY!!  Three of my most favorite people: Lizard, Debi, & BFF are going with me.  I'm not usually a super big concert girl, but I figure if I am going to marry Adam Levine, I should probably head out to the concert.  Right, Dawnya?  :)

Okay cheerleaders.  I need some encouragement on two things:

1. I realize it is only Tuesday, but I want to be better this weekend.  My proven record is to kick ass during the week and then mess it all up over the weekend.  This weekend will be different.  I'm thinking of a reward program for myself...such and such calorie activity over a certain number of weekends and I will get my reward.  The reward in my head is a biggee, so it will need to be a significant challenge.  While I noodle on that...the important thing is the one step of getting through this weekend.
2. Next week is my first official week of CrossFit.  I would like to start with the 6am class on Monday morning.  I'm not saying that I'm going to be a morning workout person.  I'm not committing to 6am classes at any other time.  I just want to try it this one time to see how it works out.  But it is REALLY freaking early.  I woke up this morning around the time I would have to get up on Monday and my first thought was, "oh, hell no." 
3. So first step - get through the weekend without sabotaging my weekday efforts.  Step two - go to Monday morning 6am CrossFit.  I will work beyond that when I get there.  :)

Commence good vibes!!

I realize this post was all over the place.  Hope I didn't make you too dizzy.  :) 

Hugs!
