Not all who wander are lost

Eeps!  School is almost over and I failed to workout last week due to an incredibly busy schedule.

-8th grade graduation planning and completion
-Technology inventory and computer clean up
-Homework/Observations for grad school
-BFF wedding drama
-Talent show planning for the last week of school
-Robotics team meeting and end of the year clean up of legos (this was just crazy!)
-Everything else

Things are winding down now, and I’ve rekindled my work out regiment and diet, however, I’ve been such a grouch since my intake is only 1000 calories a day.  It’s paying off in that I’ve lost a good 15 lbs., but sheesh to being hungry.  I feel like Charles Barkley in that SNL weight watchers monologue, “I am so hungry, I am starving!”  :-/  I think I should allow myself one chicken wing day a week to regroup and remain sane.  Fair enough?  I think so. 

What a fantastic idea!  I’ve been working on my muscle endurance with some boxing classes, so before the end of the school year I challenging myself to:

-Stick to the 1000 calories a day diet recommended by my doc for the rest of the month
-Work out at least 30 minutes on days I’m not in the boxing class (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)
-Go to sleep by 11pm for adequate rest
-Stay hydrated by drinking 2 liters a day (I tend to drink 1.5, and apparently it’s not enough)

My goal is to lose fat and gain muscle because I’ve gained a lot this year with my grad classes, teaching job, mentoring and curriculum planning.  Sometimes there’s not enough time in the day, but since I’ve got a short break between now and summer for grad school, I’ll do it!  The boxing is also helping my stress levels flatline so that’s a huge A+ in my book!  No more stress!
