My Weigh in went great...I tracked my points. I ate the same foods the we normally ate I just watched my portions, which were definitely smaller than what I normally eat. Surprisingly, I was never really hungry. My weakness are that I am a big time nighttime snacker...When I am in bed, and the kids are sleeping I hear those goodies calling my name....They start out quietly calling then they get really LOUD, usually I jump up and beckon to their calling. That is when I noticed I could really blow my points. I was good, but I know I will have to watch out for those nighttime cravings. It is a bad habit that will be worth overcoming. I realized that I am really not hungry, it is just something that I have do.
This last week we went walking 4 times in the evening. We went after dinner and homework was done. We walked even when I thought it was going to be to cold. I hate being cold! I learned that we can bundle up and not feel cold. I even had to take a layer off, because I was warm. Cooper always loves going for walks. So, instead of sitting down and watching T.V. We went out, and now I cannot use that it is "To Cold" as an excuse to not exercise in the winter.
Did anyone watch the DietTribe? It is about a group of 5 friends trying to lose weight. On the show they had to see how fast they could run around a track one time. They made it around. these women are in the 200-300 range. I wanted to see if I could. If they could do it so could I right? Well, I haven't done any running except after children in probably 12 years or more. We went to a track. I warmed up by walking, I took off at a slow speed and started running. I made it half way and needed to stop, I took a few steps and started running again. I made it around and was dead tired. It took me 2 minutes. I know that is shocking to you that are in shape. One time around a high school track is only 1/4 of a mile. right? I am ashamed to admit that, but now I know that I need to get out there and move more. My goal is to be able to make a mile by summer without stopping.
Drum Rolls Please......Here is the good news, Last week I lost 3.4 lbs!!! It is a good start. I still have 38.2 lbs to go to reach my goal...Wish Me Luck....Although it was pretty easy my first week, as time goes I am sure it will get harder. I am working on making a lifestyle change, not just a temporary fix. It may take me time, but I am ready and looking forward to the challenge. I am a skinny person in a fat persons body, just waiting to get out....
