I'm doing pretty well on this weight loss and exercise adventure so far. Its definitely a plan I can live with for a long time. But, I still get sad sometimes that I probably will never be able to eat all of the things I've really enjoyed. The things I really LIKE to cook are creamy, fat FULL foods like potato soup or homebaked breads and goodies. I don't know how to eat just one piece of one of them...I want to eat several. :(
Oh well, Im learning new things to cook, today we are having Cheesy Vegetable soup for dinner I think. I got the recipe off http://www.healthdiscovery.net/forums/index.php? the weightwatchers message board I go to a lot and it looks really good....just 1 pt per one cup serving. (how do you eat soup without bread?....lol).
Well, I have a ton of things to get done today....gardening, cleaning, school with the kids. I should stay fairly busy most of the day.
Oh and Im at 10 miles of walking now...its only April 6th, and I'm 1/4th of the way to my goal for the month :D
WOWSER! who knew that walking could be so much fun? My neighbor and I went walking this morning, and got in 2.2 miles before bkfast. Yesterday I walked 11,400 steps as logged by my pedometer. If you dont have a pedometer I recommend you get one! My favorite is at www.sportbrain.com but you can buy them on ebay for less money. I have the step1x and I love that I can plug in to the computer and upload my steps. It tells me that I walked right at 5 miles yesterday, along with how fast I was walking, how many steps, how many calories I burned during that walk...etc. VERY COOL!!!! SO, I have 1.5 miles from my previous post, and 5 miles from yesterday and 2 miles so far today.... of my 40 mile walking challenge, Im already at 8.5 miles. PIECE OF CAKE!!!
Okay... I'm starting a new walking challenge for the month of April. Last month I planned to walk 40 miles and never made it past 10! But, today is a new day, and I have already walked 1.5 today! Why? why? why can I not seem to stick it out for the full 2 mile WATP dvd? Everytime I do that dvd, I make it to 1.5miles and just get too pooped to keep going.
Well, by the end of the month, I plan to be walking the full 2 mile tape at least 5 days a week!
This month I truly am going to WALK AWAY THE POUNDS!!!
