Kickboxing!

So yesterday was supposed to just be a healthy eating day, however since my plans were cancelled for the night, I figured that I might as well go to the gym.  I was incredibly nervous about trying a new class, but the boyfriend encouraged me to give it a try.  I dressed in my incredibly fancy workout gear (old yoga capris that don't really fit, a free giveaway shirt, and these nifty blue sneakers I picked up from Payless...can't find the link, but they are REALLY blue.  I love them) and headed to the gym.  I got there a bit early and picked up a water bottle for $2.00 (totally worth it).  Something really great my gym does is that they let you load money onto your account so you don't need to worry about bringing cash...always good for someone that NEVER has cash with her!

I walked into the class, told the instructor that I was new, and then proceded to be tortured.  Nah, I'm kidding- sort of.  It was brutal but in such a good way!  We didn't actually kick or punch anything other than air which is totally fine.  I am totally feeling the burn today though.  I'm at work in my delightfully comfortable work clothes (business casual...heels included) and I am hobbling around because of the muscles in the back of my thighs.  It's a super good type of pain though - not one that feels like I actually injured myself.

Since yesterday was my "healthy eating" day, I figure I should share what I ate...

Breakfast:
Decaf Coffee
Honey Nut Cheerios
Skim Milk
Pear

Lunch:
BIG salad (like 12 ounces or something ridiculous)

Afternoon Snack:
TAZA Dark Chocolate - 1 segment (I will share more about this in the future.  I'm in heaven)

Dinner:
Dr. Praeger's Veggie Burger w/ Cheddar Cheese (1 serving)
Steamed/Roasted Veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, onion)

Nighttime snack:
Stop & Shop String Cheese

Probably not the best healthy eating day ever, but WAY better than my normal eating habits.  I'm definitely going to try to eat from the salad bar at lunch every day, even my non-healthy days.

Shabbat starts at sundown, so I am going to run now...I'll be back tomorrow night!
