Week 3

Week three has me down 2.2 for the week for a total of 13. Not too shabby. I haven't been able to get regular exercise in. I plan on it. Baby steps. Right now, I'm focusing on making good choices and making that part of my routine. Thinking next week I'll take measurements again and see what (if any) differences there are. Happy about the direction so far.

2nd Week on the Big W.

2.8 for a total of 10.8. I can't tell a difference in anything yet but, I'm happy it's gone. I'll keep plugging away.

Hubby is working full time, coaching, and finishing up his PhD. That means limited free time to exercise with 2 boys. I'm still figuring out how to get that in. Would like to do it alone as a way to relax but, I'm not seeing that as a possibility right now.

Did work for 2 hours in the yard yesterday. I'm a bit stiff and sore and went to bed with a backache. Still have tones of yard work to do. Not sure if I'll allow myself to count that as exercise (even though it technically does).

I needed some help

I needed some help. I joined Weight Watchers. So far, not too bad. I've lost 8 lbs. You wouldn't know by looking at me that it's gone. I can't even tell. So far, I'm proud of what I've done. Taking it one day at a time. Trying to figure out how to get exercise back into my routine with my hubby gone from the house so much. I refer to this time of year as me being a "soccer widow". If you know me, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I decided I needed help remembering what the right foods were, portion controls, and what it felt like to be satisfied. I could no longer rely in my hubby. I love him dearly but, he is like no other that I know. He can eat dessert every day, run whenever he wants at any distance he wants, and is fine with it all. Maybe it's difficult for him and he just never says anything. Who knows. I just knew that I needed to get back in control myself.

Sorry about going on and on about that. It's hard to admit to anyone, especially yourself, that things need to change and then actually do something about it.

I'll be sure to come back with weekly progress.
