Back on

A friend of mine challenged me to join her in going back to a weight loss program.  We are going to help each other be accountable.  While I will most likely do more of a calorie counting than the game on, I'm going to start trying again.  I just need a little more stick to it!

I've had another baby and need to get my body back. (He's almost a year and a half- no post baby excuse). So tomorrow starts the measurements and checking in again.

I will start up with my friend come April 1st, but until then hopefully I can do a little more on my own.

Treadmill

Treadmill

An hour total on the treadmill. Only a half hour running but it was a 6 mph pace so that was hard. The rest was walking.

Time to start again.

So I've decided to start up Game On with myself. I don't want the pressure to be perfect that I feel when I do it with a group. But I'm still unhappy with where my body is. I must say though I was pleasantly surprised at my weight this morning.

Starting weight: 141.4

Goal weight: 135

Good Habit: Read personal book for 10 minutes a day.

Bad Habit: Brush teeth every night.

Communications: Since I don't have teammates or opponents, I've decided that for communication I will try to blog something about the experience every day.

I'm still trying to come up with some sort of reward for myself (other than hopefully losing weight) for doing this. so far I don't have anything that I know will REALLY push me. So I will keep thinking for a while.

Sariah

Plus skim milk

My 5 things

The Challenge today

So, I challenge you to write down 5 things that you could give up or change about your routine.  It's hard to do, when we've already given up and made so many lifestyle changes to make this diet work for us.  But if you're ever feeling bored of your routine, or stuck in a rut, then you need to change something to push through your pleateu.

So my 5 are:

1) have the daytime dishes done before James gets home

2) vacuum out my car once a week

3) paint  or craft with Sariah once a month

4) sit down at computer and blog once a week

5) stop always being on the phone/ pay more attention to my kids at meals
