I have been feeling quite tired lately. Not sure whats wrong. I will have to pay more attention, see if there is anything that has changed. My diet lately hasn’t been great, but that’s something I can adjust. Obviously I need more self discipline, I was doing so good for so long, and now I fell off the wagon…time to get back on.

Aahhh bad day! I’ll be better the rest of the day and good tomorrow!
Hurt my arm this weekend, not sure if I can Zumba Thursday, but we’ll see how it goes.
Been listening to a lot of harder music lately, and the funny thing is, it makes me happy. On my drive home from work, I rock out with crazy music, and it gets all my stress from the day out, then I feel great when I get home!
Veggie Hummus wrap for lunch…yum! So tired today…I haven’t been feeling great lately. I’ve been feeling sore and achy, and nauseous. It’s weird. And I know what you are thinking, but I am not pregnant. Had my period last week. It’s just weird. I’ll be fine, then all of the sudden I get real nauseous for like 20 minutes, then be fine. Last night I almost threw up, but I was able to control it, which is good because I was out. Ugh. I wish I could figure this out…oh well.
Walked at lunch today. That was nice.
Sorry I have been MIA…it’s been a crazy couple of weeks. Class tonight…ugh so not fun! Yummy hummus wrap for lunch with tabouli, lettuce and olives. Forgot some of my vitamins at home, but that’s ok, I can take them later.
Getting up early tomorrow for a little workout…school again Wednesday, then Zumba Thursday. Friday off, BootyBare Saturday and maybe Zumba…
Went shopping this weekend, love my new clothes!
School tonight…ugh. Which means I can’t go to BootyBarre for the next 2 months…that bites…
So tired today…overslept, but luckily was able to get to work pretty much on time. No walk at lunch today since it’s pouring…Oh well…
Zumba!!!
Love my new couches!
So my Barre instructor talked last night about Barre classes she took while she was away last week. Apparently she picked up some semi heavy weights, and the instructor of that class told her to get smaller weights, and said “Do you want to look like a man”. And my instructor agreed with her. That makes me angry. Barre classes use weights, and any class that uses weights and strength training should be required to have some sort of training in this area. I mean I don’t have training and even I know that this statement is pure ignorance. Weights don’t make you bulky or “manly”, if done correctly. From my understanding, from many very reliable sources, cardio after weights can make you burn more calories. Also, when doing reps with weights, less than 12 reps is for building muscle, more than 12 is for burning fat.
I really like my Barre class, and the instructor, but she has a tendency to talk about things she clearly doesn’t know. When you are in front of a group of people who trust you, you better damn well know exactly what you are talking about. It bothers me when I see people giving bad advice, and passing it off as fact. At least preface it with “This is just my opinion” or “I am not sure, but I have heard”. I see it here on tumblr a lot too. Blogs answering peoples questions as if they have the facts, when they clearly don’t. It is bothersome. I know a lot about nutrition and some about exercise, from trial and error, research, and from having a Weight Watchers leader as a mom, but I won’t pass off information I say as fact, and will not mislead people. There are some things I know as fact, others I have a pretty good understanding of, but I will always differentiate between them, and I am open to discussion if you disagree with anything I say. I always like to hear another side of something, and will admit if I am proven wrong.
Ok that’s my rant. I just got frustrated.
Scary Kenny!!
