Got a lot of sleep last night. It feels awesome! Not loosing any weight though...going up...ugh! Could just a day of one cupcake, one small bag of popcorn, 3 gummy worms and a chicken quesadilla with rice and beans put on a couple of pounds? Well, today, I am on track with eating well again. I feel better when I don't eat all the junk.

Went to C2 Hot Yoga. The focus was on shoulders. I have been struggling with some shoulder and elbow pain for a while now. It started to kick in last year after a lot of intense weight training including push-ups, pull-ups etc... I was doing this 2x a day and I think it did a number on my shoulders and elbows. So, since the beginning of the year I have been laying off of the push-ups and pull-ups...which bums me out because I was getting so good at them.

Rode the red bike to Rainbow in WSP and back. It felt great to incorporate my training and an errand all in one.

Knees still feel a bit weak. They hurt a bit while biking too. It felt WAY better than running though so I'm sticking to biking, yoga, hiking and walking for now. One thing I haven't put in my training yet that I want to is more hula hooping. Swimming is in the near future too once I can get in the outdoor pool at the Y. I have been doing a bit of arm and ab work but would like to do more.

Got out the red bike today and biked some of the West Side route. I will have to figure out a longer route and a way around the stairs when I bike.

The right knee hurt a bit while biking but nothing like when I run. I will try to bike now in the mornings instead of run and see how that helps. I will continue to do Yoga.

The weather has been beautiful; warm and sunny.

I also biked the 3 blocks to work and that felt AWESOME!

Started to run today but after the first hill I could tell that my right knee would not cooperate. My lower back was also starting to hurt.

I continued the West Side route but began walking. I walked half the way back probably only putting in a mile.

Signed the family up at the YMCA tonight. The Y is maybe a mile or two from our house. It has an outdoor 50 meter pool that I enjoyed swimming in last summer and am looking forward to swimming in this summer.

The Y also has weight equipment, aerobic classes, swim classes for the little man and racquetball if we want.

This will a fun summer of exercise and good health.

Went to C1 Yoga class tonight. C1 not so intense as C2. They don't heat up the room as much and it is also easier. It was a good way to end the day and it felt good...even after eating 2 chicken tacos!
