Turning a corner

Not literally. I haven't really even left the house today. Doing work, reading blogs, doing laundry and exercising.

I feel like I turned a corner because I wanted some good cardio. I wanted to exercise. I did two programs on On Demand, totally about 40-45 minutes. They were both dancing. I got my heart rate up and felt good.

I looked for some good strength training ones, but couldn't find any that I really wanted to do, and so I stretched out and did some abs. Now I'm eating an apple

Saturday and El Sarape

Last night the husband and I went with his parents to our favorite restaurant, El Sarape, in Weymouth Landing (but the restaurant is actually in Braintree). It is not a healthy eating sort of place. It is however, delicious!

I had some margaritas (they make the best!). I also made a relatively healthy choice (well at least a portion controlled one) and got a combination dinner that had two enchiladas. I knew I would eat everything on the plate and didn't want to be stuffed. I wasn't stuffed!

I did not make it to the gym yesterday to start my free membership, instead the husband and I played golf. I am getting a little better! It was way too nice of a day to be inside.

Today I am thinking about doing the free membership for a week thing and seeing how it goes, as they have some good weight training classes and some good machines. I find that doing strength training at home has not been going very well. Although, it's only the beginning!
