Day 3

I am now on day 3 and I am feeling good!  My realization must've been a real 'Aha!' moment cause I feel like I'm going down the right path and I already feel like I'm making progress.  I haven't weighed in yet, but I probably will tomorrow.  I use to use Thursdays as my 'official' weigh-in day, but I restarted on a Tuesday, so I'm not sure what to do!  LOL  I may just weigh when I feel like it since I'm not obsessed with the scale anymore.  Doing the whole 30 day challenge of not weighing really helped me to see that obsessing over the day to day numbers is pointless.  I'm more interested in watching the trends and seeing where I'm going.

Yesterday was another good day.  I had the rest of my water protein drink, all my shakes, and then we had Orange Beef with greens for dinner.  Didn't get in enough water and forgot my vitamins, but all in all not a bad day.  Today has been the same except no protein water -- just all shakes, some pepperoni and cheese (yes, just pepperoni slices and 1oz. of cheese!) and we're having BBQ pulled pork for dinner and a salad.  YUM.

I've also decided that come Sunday, I'm getting my big butt back to working out.  I plan on starting out with 20mins. on the treadmill and then some toning exercises.  I'm not exactly sure what my work out goals are, but I want to be doing it.  And I don't want to get bored.  I have several tapes and DVD's and I even went ahead and recorded some stuff off of FitTV that looked interesting such as flexibility training.  I also have the treadmill, a cross trainer (a cheap one), weight bands, AND we've got a weight bench that we are in the process of finding free weights for.  So, hopefully I can mix it up and do different things.  Maybe I can get in 3 days per week to start off and then move it up and increase the number of days and then the amount of time.  Although, I must admit, about an hour is my max.  Any more than that and I know I won't stick to it because, well, that's just too much to me.  I know some people may think that's not enough, but for me, it is.  I'm trying to be VERY realistic in what I can and WILL do.  And I know that one hour is enough for me.  Although, I can't say that if I'm in the zone that I may go longer.  I'm just going to make it a point to be active and do some sort of focused exercise as often as possible.

Well, this is all for tonight.  Jumping off of here to wait for the hubbs to get home and look through my tapes while waiting!!!
