Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 56 and Thoughts on Exercise, Dehydrated Chips and eating out.

Welcome to My Personal Fitness Challenge Day 56

Woke up early this morning to get my younger son, hubby and Dad off to the ferry for a morning hockey game in Gibsons.  I stayed home so I could attend Sarah's Sunday morning boot camp.  With muscles still sore from the Empire State Building challenge the day before I arrived at Team Fitness ready to go.  It was a different feeling than normal.  I did not know or recognize any of these boot camp attendees and I was the only person who was overweight.  It didn't feel as warm and fuzzy as working out with the TF+ team but they were all friendly and I can see me fitting in the group after a few more sessions with them.  

Good thing there are lighter options on some of the stations.  I could not do the hard version on 2 of them and some of the other stations really worked my already sore muscles. I felt like I fit in though. Thanks to Sarah for inviting me to attend!  I can't come on Monday, the time just does not work.  This way I still get the workout in.  I have Zumba on Tuesday with Glenda, looking forward to that and Yoga on Wednesday at lunch, back to TF on Thursday. Should have a good with this week!  Funny thing how my brain is changing under the influence of good eating and regular exercise.  I used to dread moving my body, walking biking or whatever the activity was.  Now I can't wait to push myself, to feel the burn and to enjoy the feeling of recovery in my muscles.  I got kind of excited thinking about riding my mountain bike again.  I really enjoy it but I stopped because it wasn't fun and it got to hard.  Now I think I could rock it again!!

Bought the stuff for homemade flax seed crackers, looking into homemade hummus. (What is the story with Tahini, some like it some don't? ) I finally got around to making my Sweet Potato and Zucchini chips and they are fantastic!  Love my mandoline slicer, now I am looking for other things to slice up and dehydrate. 

Looking forward to dinner with thin In-Laws tomorrow night.  I'm interested to see how it will fit into my plan.  I 'll keep you posted.
