Spring Break

Weight:  260 lbs
Lost this week: 4 lbs
Total:  12 lbs

Last week went pretty good.  I exercised everyday which wasn't easy especially since my son had mouth surgery on Friday.  Sunday was a naughty day.  I took my kids to see Tangled at the dollar theater and we had buttered popcorn, soda, and candy.  We all split a large popcorn and it wasn't even half gone at the end of the movie.  In the past we would have brought it home and munched on it throughout the day, but instead we tossed it when we left.  The less temptation I have in the house the better off I am.  I didn't drink as much water as I should have, so that's something I'll need to improve on this week. 

This coming week is Spring Break, so life isn't as scheduled as it normally is.  I do better when there's structure.  It keeps me from overeating and gives me a set time to exercise.  I'm hoping by doing my workout when I first get up I'll be ok.  Plus, if I keep busy working on projects the snacking will be kept to a minimum.  Hopefully, the weather will be decent and my kids and I can go bike riding.  That will be fun exercise for everyone!  Yesterday there were showers and thunderstorms, but tomorrow it's supposed to clear up.  We'll see.

I can tell you the workouts haven't gotten easier.  Jillian says that those on day 5 should start feeling an increase in endurance, but the only thing I feel is an increase in the effort it takes me to lift my arms.  My aunt told me it takes 21 days for something to become a habit.  Do you think that includes activities you force yourself to do?  I hope so.  It would be nice to have exercise be a habit instead of a torture I subject myself to.  Well, wish me luck and have a great week!!
