Body Media

So I finally got my Body Media arm band active today, my husband bought it for my birthday last month.  It's a body monitoring system that will help track my calories, my activities all day and my sleep.  Don't know yet if I will wear it to bed or not.  I hope this will help me in the last month of the contest and beyond.  I really need to figure out how to keep the weight off, I usually fall off the wagon in the fall and winter. We have a weigh in tomorrow, and I probably won't lose a thing.  I just don't want to see a slight gain. I have to push it the last month and have a good finish.

Tabata

So I did a class on Saturday at the Y, Tabata.  I have taken similar ones at Befit before.  It was a good workout, I was tired when the hour was done.   My arms are sore today.  Not looking forward to the weigh in on Saturday, cross your fingers for some kind of loss.  I have been working on a 30 day plank challenge. I started before we left for vacation and got away from it, but I started over with it so we will see how it goes.

Get moving

It's been hard to get back into a routine since coming home from vacation.  Need to get a move on it, next weigh is less than 2 weeks away.

Home Sweet Home

Back from Vacation, yes at 3 am Friday.  Thought I would do a quick blog since I had trouble sending from Florida. Anyway, will see what the scale says later after I get some sleep.  I hope it's not to bad.

Vaction

In Florida on vacation for our Niece's graduation. Been having problems with blogging from our computer. Email is not working right. Anyway, I have been getting a lot of walking in on the beach. Take the stairs as much as possible. Food is so-so, but I'm hoping all the walking will help.

New shoes

So I stopped and picked up some new walking shoes at one of our sponsors today. Second Sole.  I did a short 1 1/2 mile walk. I have to say, they are very comfy

Test

Testing my husband's Email to make sure that I can blog from here when I am on Vacation next week.  Weighed in today, and I was Happy, Happy, Happy with my number. Best loss for me yet in a month.
