This site will NOT be updated after 5:00 pm today thru Sunday, June 13. I will be back to business on Monday. Will be out of town for a long weekend and will not have access to the internet.

This apparently wasn't the best week to start changing my eating lifestyle. I'm working on porportions though (except mexican) and drinking more water, so that's a positive.

Eric is working on his eating, too. So far he has lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks. I'm so proud of him. I worry about him. He's not happy w/ his belly at all, but are any of us? NO! You just have to get motivation to do something about it by eating better and/or exercising. It's so hard to just lounge in the evening after a day's work.

My Goal: Weigh 138 by July 4

Comments:

Haven't started out the week very well in the exercise area. Haven't been doing horrible on eating though.

Eric wanted Mexican for dinner last night. Wasn't the best of meals (porportion wise). I always overeat when we eat mexican. I didn't have an evening snack, so I suppose that helps a little

Disappointed in myself for being lazy last night and eating a little ice cream, but I did watch my porportion on ice cream.

Ok, so it's the evening that is killing me so far. I didn't feel like cooking tonight and Eric wanted Penn Station. Guess it could be worse...

Exercise:
I actually got some exercise in over the weekend w/out realizing it so that was nice. On Saturday we mulched our whole landscape and I could definitely feel it in my butt and legs on Sunday. Yesterday I decided to stick w/ it and we went on a 10 minute fast walk and I also did 100 crunches before bed last night (50 each of 2 different varieties).

Tonight I plan on doing some leg exercises.

Had a lazy night and didn't do leg exercises... Will do them tomorrow.

Comments:
Today is the first day of my new healthy lifestyle. I'd like to do this for 4 weeks then re-evaluate and see how it's going (or sooner if I get prego). I already know it will be a little difficult when we go to Cancun, but I'll just have to do the best I can w/ the options I'm given. I need to learn how to eat when we go out anyway. No is as good of time as any I suppose. I always over-eat!

I made some homemade snacks this weekend, so if I do need to eat something sweet at least it will be homemade. I also have plenty of watermelon, bananas, and kiwi to snack on. We've planned our dinners for tonight and tomorrow and I'm still trying to figure out what to have on Wednesday.

Overall, I know I can do this. I know I have to do this if I at least want to maintain my current weight. I have put on extra pounds and although I'm not huge I'm still not at my ideal weight.
