Feeling the energy!

I had a really good day so far. I ate a good breakfast....1/2 raisin bagel w/ 1T peanut butter, 1/2 an orange and coffee. I don't like to eat too much before I go to class, it will come back up if I do. =P
I did a 2 hour class today.... I worked hard! We have another test in 2 weeks to move up to a new level and I want to be sure I am ready to show what I can do. I had a great partner today and really felt confident. I ate the rest of my orange and another one when I got out of class. I had a good lunch when I got home too. Salad with raspberry dressing, 1/2 c. nonfat cottage cheese, multi grain cracker.

I have been feeling better lately, more energy.( I hope it's not just the cup of coffee that I have in the morning) I really think it is the vitamin boosts that I am taking. I took my first vitamin D last Friday and felt like I had drank a couple of energy drinks. My teenage boys challenged me to about 12 rounds of Dance Dance Revolution. I cleared everyone of them and the songs were the boys' choices.....so I wouldn't pick slow ones they said. I did get worse and worse as I went on though.Here is a video so you can see what Dance Dance Revolution is if you haven't heard of it.

I felt so good that on Saturday I stacked 2.5 cords of wood by myself!!!

My husband and boys split and hauled it and I stacked. I am feel much more like myself, capable of doing things and not just wanting to take a nap all day. I hope it stays this way. Sunday, hormones kicked in and I took it easy for the day, except for church.

Monday I went to class and did 1 hour. I would have done 2 but I had errands to run. In the process of running errands I had to go to the courthouse for records and I had to park 2.5 blocks away.......ok.......so I can get in a few more minutes of exercise, right? Well, I walked over there and they tell me they don't handle records there anymore but I can walk another 2.5 blocks and got to another building and they have vital records there. OK....I'm up for it, so the guy tells me go down 2 flights of stairs to the underground tunnel to get across the street and then back up 2 flights of stairs then down 2 blocks to the building. I'm energized and ready to go!!! I get there and I have to go up to the second floor......well by this time I am getting a bit tired so I take the elevator. Get out and walk to the other end of the building and find the office. Guess what......they don't give out records anymore, you have to send away for them. Well, not all is lost I did get in a great walk for the day on top of my 1 hour class. The walk back to my car was rather quickly paced because I had only put enough money in the meter for 40 minutes. So I walk back to my car that is now about 5 blocks away hoping I didn't have a ticket......because I know that must have taken me forever to walk that much. I get there and It only took me 30 minutes to do all that walking. Wow, last year it would have taken me an hour I bet! And now I get to leave the next person 10 minutes on the meter. Three of my kids were with me all this time too....they had a blast. This was a good day. I was really tired at night though. And my foot hurt and I got a nice big blister on the back of my ankle.....no socks! ( I wasn't planning on hiking all over town!)

Well, the scale is up about 6 pounds today....not sure why, it could be the new medication they said would make me gain weight or it could be water. I'm trying not to worry about it and just keep on doing the things that I know are healthy for me! My weigh-in is tomorrow so we'll see by then what it says. For the most part things are going good for me.
I wish you all a great week!
