day forty-three: swinging back into good times

I must admit, as far as daily exercise goes, I have been exercising at least once a day, but I just don't feel like I've been putting in my usual 110%. Instead of getting excited and looking forward to sweating and working hard, I was begrudgingly trudging down to the gym and working out for twenty minutes and then stomping back upstairs, missing that uplifting rush I normally get from working out.

Last night, I did the Power Sculpt DVD that I'm in love with, I looked forward to working out instead of dreading it, and I actually haven't felt that good from working out in a week or so. Endorphins rushed through me I could feel my muscles screaming with joy, I felt amazing the whole rest of that night, it was fantastic. I can't believe I had forgotten what a great workout feels like!

I'm looking forward to tonight's workout, I'll be doing the Cardio Max DVD and it's going to be great. I can't wait to jump around and expel all this energy and burn some fat!

I also went grocery shopping for this week's food and I'm excited about the meals I'm going to make. Today I had a grilled portabello mushroom sandwich with green pepper and red onion. Delicious! Tomorrow I'm making steak fajitas. I had planned on making a lamb burger on Thursday, but I couldn't find any lamb at Kroger. Not sure if they were out, or just don't carry it... but hopefully I can find some because I want to try some new meats. I'm tired of chicken and beef and fish, which is all I ever eat. So I'm branching out and trying some new meats!

This weekend is also Memorial Day weekend, which means hopefully my family will have some sort of picnic, and that will be fun. I might even be brave and wear some shorts or go swimming! I'm very excited! Also, Abbey Road on the River is this weekend and I look forward to that every year, it's a big music festival dedicated to the musical genius of my favorite band: The Beatles. It's going to be a nice day of fun in the sun and live music! I can't wait, I might buy a sundress for the event and wear sandals.
