-3.7! Yaaaaay

It has been awhile...missed me? :)

I haven't blogged recently. I had some things happen that were upsetting so I didn't know quite what to do. Then someone said something to me, I won't repeat what, but it lit a fire in a way. The last few weeks have been up and down but I am proud of myself this past week. What makes it different? I started logging my calories. Ugh! Can I tell you how much I HATE to do that? But I decided that if I want to be more successful then I need to make some changes, especially some that are more difficult. I have actually been more aware of what I am eating and some things just don't look good to me knowing how many calories they have. I haven't really exercised per say but I do walk more. I try and walk to places more. I have actually enjoyed the time with my kids more. Especially when we can do random stops and play. I think my kids have enjoyed it too.

I also stopped nursing my son. I was so excited when I realized I could eat dairy again without it affecting my baby. Course, guess what? I actually have not ate hardly any because I get too sick from it now. I can't tell you how excited I felt when I saw a carton of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. It used to be a big love of mine. I looked at that thing and thought how sick I would be and easily put it down. Yay for me!

So I have a busy busy next couple of weeks. So here is to hoping that I don't let the stress get me down. Keep it trucking people.......I am a little tired here. :)

Argh.

No excuses. But I am sure I can come up with some anyway. :) I gained 2 pounds last week and lost 2.1 this week. So I guess it is all good. It has been a very very stressful time lately. There...that is my excuse. I did recently join http://www.sparkpeople.com/. I absolutely hate journaling but I thought maybe it might help me be more successful. It is not easy for me to sit down and add it all but anything worth doing takes effort so this is my effort.

I have not exercised for 2 weeks. I am sad as I was doing so good. And guess what? Either the stress or the exercise is the culprit....I am so tired again. All the time. I do miss the exhiliration I got from exercising so I need to get back in the game.

And our exercising humor. My daughter LOVES to exercise with me but will whine and complain most of the time. She is doing a Wii exercise with me and the screen is not recognizing what she is doing so she was super frustrated. Our 20 minute workout turned into 45 with me doing almost a double workout. It was not the funnest thing but sometimes I couldn't stop laughing at her.
