287.6. Two eighty seven point six. Not bad after one week of jus watching what I ate. And if I'm going to be honest, I haven't been the strictest with it either, do I can't be too disappointed. 3 pounds isn't bad for not working out, for eating McDonald's once. I caved and decided not to go completely low carb. I've made changes in the amount of carbs that I eat, and the type of carbs I eat, but I realized that the more I limit myself, the more I give myself ultimatums, the bigger chance I'm giving myself to cheat. I'm starting to be a firm believer in everything is good in moderation. I also decided to weigh myself for the blog at the end of the day. One, because that's when I originally weighed in, and two because, I mean, yeah I can weigh myself first thing in the morning, when everyone weighs the least. But I feel as if that's not being true to myself.
Today was the first time I have really exercised in a while. It was such a gorgeous day out ( I hate saying that when it's t he beginning of January. January is not suppose to have gorgeous days in the high 50's.) anyways I digress. It was a pretty awesome day out, so we decided to take a walk, while pushing the boys in their push carts, down to the local park. It's a mile walk to get there. So we walked for 2 miles, with a hill to contend with. I walked at a brisk pace. I wanted to stop to taken a break several times, but didn't let myself. Nor did I let myself slow down much either. All I kept repeating to myself was, "you need to get healthy for the boys". Essentially that's what this all boils down to for me. I'm not trying...GOING TO! I am not losing this weight to get skinny. Fitting into my clothes better is just a plus at the end of this journey. I am doing this to get healthy to be with my boys longer.
Well. I think the first week went well. Here's to next week.
Cheers!
Love, Ainna
