Trying to make a 3K sound really impressive

In an effort to lose the 12 lbs I have put on since moving to Korea, I have FINALLY started working out.

Last week I tried out a pilates class on Post (free!). I LOVED it. Well, technically, I hated it at the time, but that's just because it realllllly worked every muscle in my body. Muscles I didnt know existed.

And on Saturday I ran/walked a 3K fun race on Post. Now, the term "3K" sounds impressive to me, but its really 1.8 miles. But I wanted to run as much as I could, and I took it seriously. I am quite out of shape, but I managed to run about half of it. The course was pretty hilly, and that certainly didnt help me.

(If buying a sports bra was easy, that photo would look a lot better)

There are a lot of free classes offered on Post: Zumba, aerobics, pilates, yoga, spinning. Its just a challenge to match up a class with some form of child care. On Mondays, I share a sitter with a friend so we can both go to the gym in the morning. Tuesday mornings Emma is at preschool and Jackson is home with May (nanny), and I am going to try and attend a yoga class on the Tuesdays I dont have storytime. (Tomorrow being my first yoga class. The rest of the week is kind of up in the air depending on Jason's schedule. But I hope to fit in two more workouts (even if it is just running).

I didnt have any sugary coffee drinks today, or any bakery goods. I ate really well, but perhaps didnt have enough at dinner since it is 9:30pm and I am STARVING. For me, there is a fine line between eating too little and eating too much. I have a hard time finding the middle ground of eating just the right amount.

If you have some good evening snack ideas (and yes, I know its not good to snack in the evenings, but humor me), please share.

All I can think of is Crunch N Munch.
