Hi all. I hope that you enjoyed ‘Drea’s guest post. If you missed it, please click here to read it. 
Today I went to the pool with Jen and Kim for a couple of hours. It was pretty darn wonderful, although you can feel summer waning. Sure, the temps are still in the 90s, but the sun is in a different position and it was getting dark by 7:30 pm tonight.
The Low Carb Milk Solution
Can I just tell you that the Silk Light Chocolate tastes WAY better than the regular Silk Chocolate? How effed up but wonderful is that? So, I have my solution, although I still want to try Ali’s idea of mixing in some choc protein powder with unsweetened almond milk.
September Fitness Goals
Every quarter, Lifetime releases a new schedule. Most of the classes stay the same time/day, but there are always changes here and there. We anticipate this schedule just like a teenager who wants to make sure she has the same lunch period as her friends.
The new schedule takes effect on Monday, Sept 13. At first, there were some errors on it regarding some of the Yoga classes, so I was waiting for those to be fixed before I announced my goals.
They have added some Yoga classes so that the gym is now offering 18 classes per week. I’m excited about that, although I would love to see consistent times. I would love to have a 5:45 pm class offered every single day. They did manage to make it so that there is one Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at that time. However, they are different levels, though it could still work for me.
They moved some Zumba classes around as well.
So my Fitness goals for September are:
- Yoga at least twice per week.
- 90 minutes of cardio per week.
I am hoping that I will exceed those goals, but it’s a good place to start.
September Food Goals
I am still chipping away at the carbs. I have noticed that I am not having cravings for them and I feel pretty great. I have dropped about 8 lbs so far (yes THOSE same 8 lbs that have been breaking up and making up with me for the last 1.5 years.)
And my goal for September is to try and get closer to and maintain 130 carbs per day.

Robbin had called me earlier in the day and asked me to meet her for a late lunch. We chose Mexican and even though I did have some rice, I’m pretty pleased with myself that I did not eat ONE tortilla chip. Not one. I didn’t even miss them.
We did go to Starbucks afterward for a treat and I did get my old lover drink, Venti Strawberry and Cream Frapp. Oh well. It was one and my life will go on.
Then we had pasta (albeit whole wheat) again tonight for dinner.
Okay peeps, I’m off like a prom dress. See you tomorrow!
