Goodbye January!!
Today's Good Things:
Hard but productive day of lessons
Short but meaningful bible time
Morning and Afternoon 15 done
Met my water goal
Coffee out with friend
Today's Not So Good Things:
Missed Bible sharing time with the fam (I've been up with the babe and just could not keep my eyes open)
Felt a little like walking through molasses today, trying to get things done
Fussy baby
Heavy on the carbs today
Missed my workout
Today was a good start to the week. Even though I got going a little late, I was cheerful and eager to work on some changes.
I started with a new outfit I bought over the weekend. I wanted another pair of pants to wear when I go out for my afternoon walks. (it's getting so cold out there!) I was pretty excited to find something from off of the Misses rack rather than the Women's that would fit. An added bonus was getting a $50 pair of jeans for only $5!! Add a $5 sweater and I'm a happy lady. ;-)
Honestly, I can't remember the last time I bought new clothes. I typically go second hand with what I wear, but I wanted to try on "real" sizes in the store and see where I was at. I'm not in the sizes I was hoping for, but I am on my way. I'm excited about that. :-)
I was SO dragging this afternoon and Did Not want to go outside to walk my mile. But, I grabbed a walking buddy and we hit the trail. I'm always so glad to be out there once I get going. The fresh air, cold as it is, wakes me up and keeps me going until dinner time.
What helped to get me out the door was my new strategy for the day. I've decided to wear my shoes all day to keep me moving and ready to go at all times. Something about wearing shoes makes me feel like I need to keep active and get on to the next thing. It was good. So, I'm adding Shoes On to my routine as well.
Fussy baby again tonite. Oh, how I could use some good sleep. ;-)
ETA: I forgot to mention the scale. I recorded my official loss from the weekend. However, when I stepped on the scale this morning, I was down almost 2 pounds from Sunday morning. ::shock:: I'm not counting it as yet, but I'm hopeful for the end of the week. If it sticks, that puts me at over 10 pounds gone and ready for my first reward. :D
I've decided to weigh in daily and see how my scale likes it. I'm still getting off readings. Step on it once, get a number. Step on it again, get a number 2 pounds higher. Step on it again, get a number 1 pound lower. That's annoying, to say the least. But, when I can get a number to read the same 3 times in a row, I'm calling that good for now.
Yay! Tracy! Sounds like a good day! I know about the scale. I finally found one that reads the same exact number every time I step on it. Gone are the YEARS of hopping on 30 times just to figure out what the "true" reading should be. *sigh* I know how frustrating that is, though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea to keep shoes on all day. I really hope it keeps you motivated to keep busy and keep moving.
Hoping your weight loss from the last day sticks with you... that is exciting! :)
Keep up the great work!
Okay, do tell which scale you have. I'm ready to give mine a toss.
ReplyDeleteSo far so good on the loss. ;-)
