Sun!

I am loving the weather we have been getting! It has been Sunny for 6 days straight so far and right now it is 4 degrees out. Tomorrow it is supposed to get up to 8 degrees :D

At work we just got a corporate rate deal worked out with Nubody's that has been in the works for about a month. The membership works with any Nubody's or Good life Gym. There is a bunch of my co workers who go to the gym during lunch breaks a few times a week so I might choose to go with them. If not there is a woman's gym about 5 minute walk downhill from my apartment so I really won't have any excuses. Plus I am such a cheep-o that I know I will feel like I need to get my moneys worth :)

I am really excited for some of the group classes that are available as well. I have 3 Nubody's within a 15min walk from my apartment so with that comes lots of variety in the classes I will be able to take. I am most excited about trying Fit Step, Fit Ride, Fit Mix and of course Zumba that I have heard so much about.

On the food side of things I have been consistently using LiveStrong's Daily Plate to track calories and focusing on watching my portion sizes. Tracking through out the day has been really helpful for me.

For instance, we had a bake sale today for our run for the cure team. I had a cheese biscuit, a lemon square and a cupcake. I tracked all of them. After eating lunch and drinking only water through out the day I have 740 calories left for the rest of the day. Easily enough for a good dinner and maybe even the little night snack that I always find myself wanting. Because I knew that I would want to eat dinner and I wanted to stay within my calorie range I turned down beef jerky and a Starbucks run. I have also kept myself away from baked treats. When I wasn't choosing to be aware of what I was putting in my body I would have said yes to all of those instead of no like I did.

Time to go watch the advance screening of She's out of my League. I won tickets from Empire :)
