Resolutions Days 3 and 4

I started back at my fitness training program at the YMCA yesterday. I am really aching today. My abs are sore, my legs are stiff, and I find subtle aches and pains doing the simplest of things, such as typing on the computer! As soon as I got home from the gym, I changed into warm clothes, and the family went ice-skating. We are all at different levels of beginner, so we leave with a few aches and pains when we're done, and not much of a cardio workout. My husband took one hard fall, and either sprained or broke his wrist below his thumb. They have him in a splint today, and he'll follow up on Tuesday to see if he ends up in a cast.

I ate well yesterday and wrote everything down, until after dinner, when my delightful cousin made Bananas Foster for dessert, and I ate all of my portion, with decadent amounts of butter and brown sugar. Thing is, in terms of Weight Watchers points, I'm probably still ok since I have 35 points to eat as I wish for the week. I guess we'll see when it's January 8, and one week has gone by.

It seems Weight Watchers has a new program in place, which is supposed to be even easier to do than the points, so I may have to actually stop into a meeting to learn more about it. For now, I keep track of everything I eat on my FitDay account, and use the points to be sure I'm in a range to be losing weight.

Today has also been good. I'm feeling very dedicated to eating healthy food right now, and to writing it all down. Tomorrow, I get back to the gym for my Monday and Wednesday training, and hopefully can squeeze in a half hour at some point to begin my 12-week training program for my 5K! I have 4 doctors appointments this week, and have to squeeze them all in during my son's morning pre-school, so it doesn't leave much leisure for working out...
