Monday, Monday

Hello! Well, it has been a very busy day. I have barely even touched school today. My DH left today for a trip to Iowa with his parents to go to a horse auction. So, I'm single mom for a few days.

So, tonight I started going to a local "Jazzercise" class. Kicked my butt!!! There were 70 year old ladies that were doing better then me! ;o) That just tells me I need to keep going! I went with one of my daycare mom's. It's 3 days a week. This week, I am not able to go the other 2 days, so I will have to start next week. I have been doing the treadmill also, and to top it all off....I have gone vegitarian. When I had my last child, I had Gestational Diabetes, so, that puts me at a higher risk of becoming an actual diabetic. They have recently found that a vegitarian diet is really good for diabetics. So, in order to combat the disease and hopefully ward it off, I am starting right now. I need to lose weight, and this will help. I actually don't eat much red meat anyway, but, enjoy a good hamburger from McDonald's and a good old fashioned steak now and then. Chicken is my absolute favorite. Even though chicken is actually fairly healthy, it still has it's disadvantages. Red meat is linked to cancer, but then again, what isn't these days. So, I started today, and I did great. I actually felt really good. I don't think it will be too hard to keep up on. DH is going to try and do it too. I found a great website if anyone wants to check it out. It has a lot of great info.

I have opted to leave out eggs as much as possible too because of the cholesterol. My family is prone to high cholesterol, so I'm going to watch that too. I still have kept dairy in. I can't get rid of my cheese and milk. I have switched to Soy milk though. That is intersting. Not too bad! Anyway, I'll keep you posted on my progress and how my weightloss goes. So basically, I'm working out 5 days a week. Hopefully that will do something!

Tomorrow starts my second week of this class. I haven't died yet. ;o) It actually hasn't been too bad now that I'm into it. This week is going to be busy though, so we will see how it goes!!!! I have a lot going on, on top of my class load and DH is gone, so this should be interesting!! Stay tuned!!!
