Challenge Day 2: Eating according to what I plan

Today is day two of a 21 day challenge that I am taking part of with GPF. I have decided that as part of this challenge I am going to blog about my goals and how my day turned out.

Day 2: My goal was to eat the food I prepared and packed. Today was my "day off" from work. My job working for Youth Move Maine has recently moved from 30 hours to 40 hours. I don't and can't get overtime, so when I work over my hours, I have to take comp time. Sometimes I have to work long days, or split days or even weekends {I don't mind - I really am LOVING it}, and having comp time has allowed me to sign up to sub in the schools. Its a chance for me to still do something that I love {Teaching} with out all the lesson planning and grading, plus I get to pick my assignment, and make some money on my day off.

So today I subbed and it was a great day. I have been at this school before and worked with these kids and have made some connections there. After lunch {I ate my chicken and jell-o that I had packed} for our recess time we took a walk {Score- added steps for today!} The end of the school day came and I got ready for "my other job". 

My tuesdays consist of teaching Zumba® Kids at a local elementary school. I have 10 kids a week and they rotate the kids until all kids have done it. Its a 45 minute gig and I make a little extra money. Today as we got ready to finish the class one girl points to my arms and asks: "Did you have surgery?" points at my other arm and asks "two surgeries?"  I responded yes I did and said I would tell them about it after class. I then explained why I had surgery. A great lesson in hard work and they "got it".

Then I RUSH across the bridge to get to GPF for my Tuesday night class. It's a 30/30 class split between Zumba® and Zumba® Toning. It's a great mix and allows me to not get bored with just Zumba® or just Toning. The ladies are great. I love their energy and the passion to make the commitment to show up every week.

Burpees - BLAH- but I signed up for a Burpee challenge for the month of October. Today is day 5, which means 20 Burpees. After class a few of us who are doing it gathered our energy to get out 20 not only done- but recorded to post to the group as evidence - not looking forward to day 30 of 100. If that wasn't enough we then prepared ourselves for Cardio Kickboxing / Toning {again- I promise I will blog about WHY it is SO important to TAKE classes in the future} An hour I'm exhausted - happy- sweaty - and ready to head home. 

Todays goal- accomplished. It was hard- and I definetly didn't pack enough food for the LONG day. Tomorrow will be better, and I got almost 20,000 steps in today.
