1/9 - Fitness & Nutrition Update

Weight = 161. I'm trying to not let this bother me - I know that a fluctuating weight (even after a healthy eating day) is one of the risks of weighing in daily, so I'm going to push on. I will admit that I was a little bummed when I got on the scale this morning, as I was hoping to see 159. Maybe tomorrow. :-)

My legs are still sore from my run on Friday, but I plan to hit it again tomorrow. In other great news, I was able to pick up a very punch card at my gym, good for pilates & yoga. It brings the cost per class down to $2/each, which is super reasonable. I used a combination of a New Year's discount on the punch card + a coupon that every member gets at the beginning of each year for renewing + a gift card, making the whole thing $0 out of pocket. I'm very motivated to get back into pilates & yoga to get flexible & strengthen my core, which will hopefully reduce back pain.
