"No Workout" Day

So I woke up this morning in the mindset that I was going to take the day off of working out. Yep... that totally lasted. I had barely burned 1000 calories by 11:00, and I couldn't stand it. So I put on my workout clothes, put Wii Fit in, and BAM! 1 hour later I had burned 700 calories.

I found that the best thing to do on Wii Fit to burn calories is boxing. I love it! It is still kindof what I do with Brenda and mom, only it's no impact. It definitely isn't as much of a stress reliever as actually punching a pad, but it gets the job done! I did the advanced level today, and between my feet and punches I couldn't keep everything straight! I was like dancing trying to figure it out, hahaha!

Speaking of dancing, after 30 minutes of Wii Fit, I decided to pop in Dancing with the Stars on Wii, to see how many calories I could burn doing that. I'll tell you what! Do the professional level as the woman partner, you really burn the calories! I was around 150 per "tournament" (4 dances)burned. It worked out REALLY well! And it's fun. Though I won't go into getting frustrated because my remote had given out on me halfway through the 2nd to last dance my last tournament... UGH! Tell me you are low on battery BEFORE you decide to stop working!

I really feel like I had a great workout! I was very sore after working out yesterday, and I took a bubble bath before I went to bed. I must say, I get it. The whole bubble bath thing really relaxes your muscles from working out AND helps you relax before going to bed! It was AMAZING! :) May need another bubble bath tonight.. :)

Now for a challenge - I am going to dinner tonight with some of my friends from college. We went through 2 years of cohort classes together (every class together for 2 years..), and we haven't seen each other since graduation! So we are all getting together and going to a restaurant tonight. Here's my thought - I am going to look at the online menu and figure out calories and stuff before I go, that way I know what to get and there's no guess work! Wish me luck!

Jillian put this up on Twitter today, so I had to make this my quote for the day:

Smart Tip: Most people sabotage themselves because they aren't mindful in the moment. Let your daily actions be governed by your goals & dreams. Whenever you are making an important decision first ask if it gets you closer to your goals or farther away. If the answer is closer, pull the trigger. If it's farther away make a different choice. Conscious choice making is a critical step in making your dreams a reality. - Jillian Michaels
