This was my second Friday out on the zumba floor. Seriously, why do I continue to humiliate myself? Firstly, I am not a coordinated person when it comes to dance or the like. Secondly, I have issues with my knees. Thirdly, my weight makes it hard to jump and keep up. I am pretty sure I looked like a drunk (overweight) monkey out there. I wonder if I will ever get it? I suppose I will try again next week. I really do feel stupid each time though. And, this is the basic zumba. I cannot even imagine what an advanced class is like.

I did get a good work out both times I went. I also walked a mile today pushing my son in his stroller. It took me alittle under 20 minutes. The Florida heat and humidity outside were horrible. I wasn't sure if I'd make it through. I think I will do my walking at night from now on.

I did well on my preop Phase 1 diet today. Protein shake for breakfast and a vitamin, chicken and salad for lunch, Protein and veggies for dinner, and a yogurt for snack. I've been drinking water but should probably be getting in more. I also need to remember to take another vitamin... the second one of the day is hard for me to remember.

I think I will do some walking on my gazelle and then rest and spend time surfing OH boards :-) I am starting to feel a little down. Not sure if it's because of the food or that I am tired. Being an emotional eater, I have found that in the past, I tend to start getting down when I start a diet. It's like I am grieving the loss of the food. Sound weird? I noticed when I was eating dinner (and wanting something entirely different from what I was eating), I kept thinking to myself, "so this is it? This is what I have to look forward to?" It started getting me down. Surfing the OH boards and success stories should help me out of my funk a little

ETA: Did 30 minutes on my Gazelle tonight :-)
