Well after gaining 10 pounds of emotional eating weight ... I am happy to say that I lost 3 of those pounds. I was really good at walking almost every day of the week. Pushing kids up a totally wicked hill to get Makayla to school twice a day was doing me good. But I got in the habit of driving instead. Not good! I am doing my best to exercise in other ways every day.
Here is my new motto
Eat Less, Move More!
Clint is working out more and that helps to motivate me too. I just bought a notebook that is going everywhere with me. It is my food Journal. I have realized when you have to write everything down that you eat you think twice about eating it. I really hope it makes me think about why I am eating and that it will help the emotional eating and the eating just because. I am trying to program my brain to only eat when I am hungry.
I have a new goal to work out for 30 minutes every day. I find when I do the every other day or 3 days a week I justify I can use another day of rest and stop working out. I turn 29 this December, I am giving myself until I turn 30 to reach my goal weight. So I have one year and 2 months to get 53 pounds off my body and keep it off. It will be so nice to have more energy and what equals to my 5 year old off my body. It is nuts to think that I am carrying around Makayla with me always. Man no wonder I get so tired :o)
So keep checking back - if anyone even reads this - and share in my triumphs, disappointments, and progress!
