It's fun to stay at the YMCA

For as anal as I am about scheduling and being on time, I messed up yesterday. I signed up for a class at the YMCA with Andrea- originally it was Zumba, but it was shifted to "Hip Hop Aerobics" last minute. Anyway, I thought it started at 5:30. It started at 5. I showed up at 5:20 to Andrea and the instructor starting the routine. Oops! At least I got about 10 minutes of cardio- plus 25 minutes of weights- in before class was dismissed. I think I will like the class- granted, it's not Zumba, but it was fun. Hopefully more people sign up for the class, or it's going to get canceled. And Andrea is a *great* workout buddy. She's really encouraging and inspiring- hell, the woman has done 3 TRIATHLONS this year, and is going up north this weekend to do the run around Mackinaw Island. She's a workout machine!

I got home and after my nummy dinner (recipe below) and drove Katie to her personal trainer appointment. I got back and passed out on the couch, then moved upstairs. This was like 9pm. I don't know what hit me, but all I wanted to do was sleep. Of course, I woke up this morning and all I wanted to do was go *back* to bed. Thinking that the workout kicked my ass...? Any healthy ideas on how to beat fatigue, because I need to go back to the gym tonight?

Last night's dinner: 3oz chicken breast, "stuffed" with one Laughing Cow Light Swiss cheese wedge, 1 tbs reduced fat feta cheese. Sprayed the top and bottom of the stuffed chicken breast with some spray butter, added a dusting of flour to both sides and baked it at 400 degrees for about 35 minutes. I added some acorn squash (LOVE squash!) flavored with light Blue Bonnet butter and Splenda brown sugar (1 tbs of each for each side of the squash- only ate half of the squash), and added some steamed peas. Total points value for dinner: 8
