Nutrition reset – day 12!

I think I had a personal milestone today. I went to the gym for Zumba class, but it was canceled. I had just checked both children into the kids' club, and the worker let me know that the class was canceled because the instructor called in sick.  Tempted.  Tempted to check the kids back out and go home, tempted to leave them in there and go sit in the hot tub, tempted to "stretch" for an hour. Instead, I decided to walk on the treadmill for at least five minutes. 30 minutes later, I had burned about 200 calories. I even did some running! With my heart rate up and a decent runners high spurring me forward, I continued on and did a little bit of lifting hoping to work some strength into my slowly recovering hip and lower back. I ended up doing a full hour of cardio, Weightlifting, and good yoga stretching! Wow, do I feel good! I probably need  more walk/running like today at least once or twice a week. I adore Zumba, but it continues to stress the weak parts ...
