...
Corey left town on Thursday morning, to spend St. Patrick's Day with his bestfriend in Kansas City... I'm happy to report that I've stayed on track with eating and exercising every day that he has been away!!
(p.s.- I didn't have a great weekend BECAUSE he was gone... I just had a great weekend, despite his being away!!)
Thursday afternoon I took two long walks with my bff, Megan! We walked a trail, and then went back to her house and got dinner ready and had dinner there (a small taco salad.. mostly lettuce!), and then decided to take a long walk around the neighborhood after! It was nice to get a good walk in, that was out in the beautiful outdoors! This was the sunset that night. A picture couldn't even capture its beauty, but I tried!!
Then Friday after work, I mostly hung around the house - walked on the mill, made dinner for myself.... I cooked up Spaghetti - which, I LOVE, but don't have often in our house. I measured everything out.. the noodles, the sauce.. and had a can of green beans with it. It was actually less calories than I thought it would be. Normally on a day like that - if Corey wasn't home, I'd go have dinner alone in a restaurant bar... and it definitely wouldn't be healthy, and wouldn't be low in calorie, or small in size. After dinner, I decided to get our grocery shopping done... and on my way to Costco, the sunset was just unbelievably STUNNING. I didn't even take a picture (although EVERYONE was outside taking pictures!! because I knew a picture couldn't even begin to justify it!!) I love this time of year, for the nightly beauty!
Yesterday I took off early, to get out of the house since they were working on the roof all day and I needed to get my car either out of the driveway and down the street, or just gone in general. So I headed to my parents early in the AM. Megan and I planned a walk and I decided I wanted to take Zaggy with! Kiska drags her paws when she walks. :( So taking her on walks is nearly impossible without bloody paws within minutes.. but Zaggy was in heaven!!! She was soooo good, too! She loved every second, and I cant wait to take her again!! :) I told my mom I want to come take her maybe once a week!!
This was her during the walk.... and then her after the walk!!!
Last nights dinner was a little more of a splurge, but I knew it was going to be, which is why I tried to be very smart about my choices in the days leading up! I've been told this before, and try to keep it in mind that it is a very 80%/20%... as long as I'm good 80% of the time, 20% I can enjoy a special meal!! If I don't let my self.. that's when I get depressed about food.
Today I joined Megan again on an adventure taking Titan to do his Easter pictures! He looked so handsome!! We walked around a little while killing time till it was our turn.. but my steps weren't very high.. so I walked the mill for an hr this afternoon. sometimes its more of a dreadmill - as my brother calls it! HAHA! but afterward I feel much much better about doing it!!
Overall, I know that I had a few things this weekend, that were more than needed.. but life is about balance and I feel refreshed after getting some friend time, and some fresh air!! :)
again.. not tons to report.. just like keeping track of my life! :) Some days after eating crap, I couldn't feel worse. I look at what I ate, and I think... WHAT was I thinking and doing.
I still need to get my goals in line. Its harder than I thought it would be!! But one of my goals is to sit down and do my goals!! lol.. and plan out my weight loss ideals.
the other day, my co-worker asked me a question, and when responding to her- everything just all the sudden went off like a lightbulb in my head...
Most try to lose 2ish lbs a week.... we're 11 weeks into the year which would be about 22lbs. I didn't start till week 3, so we're looking more at 9 weeks - 18lbs.... and I'm currently at 29.2lbs lost. I'm doing MORE than what I would like to do. So on those days where I don't see the scale move, I need to remind myself that... its okay! we're okay! you are doing GREAT! and just keep moving!! :)
29.2lbs down!!
:)
love to all
