Day 2 and Day 3..

I have to admit when I started doing this I did not have a whole lot of confidence in myself. I knew I could do the work but reality set in that I like to be lazy. I like television and my kids love cartoons...how do I lose? Don't get me wrong I am very active with them or am I? I take them to swing, play outside...kinda...Then it hit me..I am never an active participant. I randomly get on the jungle gym with them but I usually sit and watch them play. That is not the type of parent I want to be. So here is cheers to myself (with a glass of water) and everyone else who is looking to be more active with their kids.

Moving on...

Day 2 was perfect...I went to work, me and a friend (have not asked her permission to list her name) went and rocked out the gym with the arm pyramid via Tone It Up, ab machines, and the elliptical. I am still in the writing all my food down stages and next week starts the calorie counting. For the most part I ate really well. I also got my car inspection which was like pulling teeth and when I could have had a margarita I choose water.

Day 3. Me and my husband started the day fighting. We found out that the car we were trying to get approved for did not match our ideal percentage rate. So no new car for us....that alone put a bad taste in my mouth. I got to work and right away one person got under my skin...it was all down hill from there. I was lucky that everyone else I worked with was in a bad mood or had something going on as well (maybe we were syncing up!) so my bitchiness did not stand out but I felt like it did. I got off work and my husband decided he would like to go running with me. I love running with my husband. It's outdoors, we get time to talk, and it is kind of like alone time for us. It put me in a great mood. I did notice that I ate a lot though. None of the items I ate were high in calories I just consumed more food then usual. I also drank a lot more water. I guess I am more of an emotional eater then I thought. After our run we grilled, played outside and I cooked some side dishs. So horrible day to start and delightful day to end.

I still have not weighed myself and I am thinking of only doing it on Monday's. I do not want to discourage myself.

So recap....recording what I eat..GREAT..exercising...FANTASTIC...I could actually dominate my weight loss this time. Instead of trying to lose it fast I am taking it one day at a time. I am paying attention to my body not the scale which is really hard. I know I am doing it right and the fact that I have my best friend yelling DO IT through text, a great friend working out with me, and the support and workout buddy in my husband is amazing. I CAN do this!
