2 Mom's 20 Pounds

Well, here we are again. Another week! I hope you all have had a successful week. I know I have. Not as successful as I'd like it to be, but it's been a good one. :) Without further ado...

Water: This has not been a problem as I fasted soda's all week! All I've been drinking is my usual coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day. WOW!!! What a difference that makes. I'm loving it.

Exercise: Okay, this is where I have been lacking. I haven't stuck with the plan, as I had all week off last week and not most of this week. So I've slacked. But, when I go anywhere, I make sure I have to walk a little ways from the parking lot. Well, actually started that before doing this, but am much better about it. I do chase the cat up and down the stairs and around the house (we play tag and hide n' seek) just to make sure I get some cardio activity going. Then of course there is the cleaning, which on some days consits of a lot of extra walking!!!

Challenges: Well obviously have so much luxury time has made it harder to stick to the plan for one. I am however improving on the late night snacking. I have improved the eating habits immensely. No more junk food except one day. No more fast food except this morning, because I ended up with the shakes while at an appt. and had another meeting for 2 hours after that, so had to eat something. It was still breakfast time and only had a couple minutes on the run. Wasn't too bad though. ;) Need to remember to take healthy snacks with me for those moments. Overcoming bad habits is the biggest challenge right now, and of course exercising, which will always be a challenge.

Success: I was able to get into a skirt I haven't worn for a couple of years and almost a blouse!!! Talk about excited. If that isn't a get you pumped move to motivation, nothing is. I felt like a woman again. Hee hee

Weigh In: Well as you all know, I don't weigh myself, but since I have a pair of pants that fall off now and am into a skirt I haven't been able to wear and almost a blouse, that says it all.

My motto: Believe in God. I know He wants me to keep His temple healthy and looking good, so now that I have the right frame of mind, it is going to happen! Believe, believe, believe. Walk in Faith!!!
