I haven't had a chance to journal anything down. Okay I have noticed something of a trend. If I do not journal anything down or if I am sick, I tend to eat more and gain some weight because I am not exercising like I should so my metabolism is slowing down - thus resulting in weight gain.
Today I am really going to get back in the game. I made a great attempt on Tuesday by going to the gym and doing a Zumba class which is a serious workout. That was nonstop high impact for 45 minutes straight. The cool down even felt like it was going too fast for a cool down. One thing I have noticed is that I sleep better and I wake up really refreshed if I do a high impact workout the night before. The only thing is, it took 2 hours after the workout for my body to slow down. I was still hyper, I felt like I could have did another class and it was 10:30 pm!
Wednesday was my youngest son's birthday, he is now 11, so I just did a quick 30 minute workout video at home. I didn't feel like I did anything. Last night was project night for the oldest son - he had to make modeling clay, paint it, and decorate it. Tonight is drive-in movie night (yes I did say drive-in) where we get two new released movies for the price of one! This is always fun because our whole truck only will run us about $22 and there are five of us, so that is less than $5 a person for two movies. I think we are going to see Underworld:Rise of the Lycans and Mall Cop. Because I am such a big baby, I hope Mall Cop is the last movie that is played, that way I won't be dreaming about the Underworld movie. lol. Tomorrow the hubby and I are going to the Cardio Fusion class and doing some housework or rather garage work.
Can anyone explain the exercise diary in regards to the desk work, I just don't think I am burning that many calories sitting at my desk. I type a lot and I am moving around but that has a lot to do with listening to my IPOD while I type, I just start dancing in my seat. What is everyone else's thoughts on this?

As for the desk work calories -- I agree. I am always a little skeptical when I see those numbers. My only thought is that they are in comparison to sleeping, which I'm sure burns very few calories. As far as the trend, I am the same way, which is why I try to come on here every day. Keep up the workouts! It's amazing what a natural "high" exercise gives the body! Enjoy the movies! That sounds like a great time out with the family! :)

No wonder you felt like you didn't do anything with your workout video, you just did that Zumba class! That class sounds really cool. I don't think my gym offers anything like that. The drive-in sounds like fun, and $22 for two movies and five people?! That's such a bargain! Do you get to bring in your own snacks, too? Let me know how Mall Cop is. I love Kevin James!

I feel the same way about "desk work"....I put maybe 2 hours under desk work and the rest of the workday as "sitting"

Zumba is a mixture of salsa, salsa-meringue, caribbean dances, and aerobics. Don't feel bad, I didn't know what it was either until I googled it. I wanted to make sure I could survive the class. I went to a pilates class and thought I was going to die!!! You have to be in shape to do pilates. lol.

We didn't make it to the movies. :-( Traffic held me up so we missed out. We'll try again next weekend. Yes Plastic, it is a great bargain, we stumbled upon this drive in on our way to the hill country out here in Texas. We decided to try it out one day and was surprised at the prices. As far as snacks go, you are not supposed to bring them in but we do, it's not like they check your car. The snack stand has really cheap prices, so we always end up buying snacks from there as well.
