Get Fit: Week 4

This week turned out better than I originally thought.

Exercise: I did not walk. At. All.  My goal was to walk five.  And I walked zero.  In fairness to me, it rained A LOT in the mornings this week, which is usually when we get out, but that is not an excuse.  I didn't do it at all.  I consider that a major step backward.  I wrote that Saturday midday, and the evening was SO nice and my husband had things SO under control that I went out and walked for 2.28 miles!  AND, Lindsey text me Saturday night to ask if I wanted to get up early and walk this morning before church.  Why yes, yes I did.  Got in another three miles, which means I exceeded my five mile goal!  AND, I did yoga six out of seven days this week.  My goal was five, so I feel pretty good about that.  And, two of them were hot, and one of them was ridiculously hot.  So both my exercise goals were not only met, but exceeded!

Diet: The diet was fine, but I have officially discovered my weakness - dough and batter.  Charlie's birthday party was this weekend (post here) and I made cake, cupcakes, cookies, icing - the works.  And I just couldn't help sticking my finger in a few times.  My family was also in town, and I had a few bites of the pasta from Friday's dinner.  It was gluten free...but still.  Not on my diet.  BUT, I have discovered these:

OMGoodness these are so delicious!  The girls at work eat these all the time, so when I saw them in the grocery store I grabbed one.  One bag was $3.99, which I thought was kind of expensive at first, but I got three meals out of it and, if I add some more greens like romaine or spinach, it would go even further.  The dressing is fatty, but I used less than half for the three meals by dipping my fork instead of pouring. :)


Breakthroughs:

• The first pair of jeans I was too big for...I am now too small for.  I'm still wearing them, but I have to hike them up.
• People are starting to say, "Hey, have you lost weight?"  Why yes, yes I have.  How kind of you to notice and say something!
• Weight loss total so far: 19 pounds!

HAPPY DANCE!!!!!

Weekly Goals:

• Yoga five times this week.  I would do six again, but the yoga place is going to be closed on the 4th. :(
• Walk five miles this week.  It's going to happen...I just know it.
• Enjoy the 4th! Our adorable neighborhood puts on a parade and we have front row seats in our front lawn :)
