Sabotage!

Not that I don't love my husband, but he needs to go back to work. I swear he purposefully tries to sabotage my dieting and weight loss attempts. Okay, maybe it's a little my fault too. I have no will power. Well, he leaves tonight for 2 weeks so it's back to the good habits of running and eating healthy. Thpbthpbthpb! I wish I could just eat whatever I wanted and be skinny. It just isn't fair that some people (like my spouse) have that metabolism.

Moderation in all things...all things!

Sometimes I forget the importance of moderation in all things. This includes not only the foods I eat, but also in the amount of time I spend on exercise too. Sometimes I get so obsessed and then I burn myself out. I am trying not to do that this time. I am still doing well. Woo hoo, week two is almost over.

A round of applause, please.

So I had a good week. I am down in the weight department. I have been eating better. And I ran/walked on the treadmill 3 more days this week. So that is 4/6 days. Not too shabby. Especially for a girl who wasn't even sure she remembered where the treadmill was a week ago.

Brave, but not that brave....

So, my friend Katie is truly an amazing person. I admire her determination and persistance. After talking with her this past weekend I have decided to be more like her. I started exercising again. I am only on day 4, but I have gotten on my treadmill 3 out 0f the last 4 days. Not too bad. I have also tried to be better with what I eat. Yesterday was not a great day because I spent the whole day at the in-laws baking apple bread, making carmel apples, and homemade apple sauce. (Did you notice the theme?) We sure were able to quickly turn a healthy snack into something not so healthy. Oh well. Today was better.
I am going to steal a page from Katie's book. I am going to write down my goals, well at least one of them. I am also going to lose 20 lbs by Christmas. I am going to do this by exercising and not over eating.
Thank you, Katie! You are the best! I am trying to be brave like you, but not so brave as to post any before pictures. I'm just not that brave, yet.
