I did my workout tonight yeah, first time in quite a while.  I feel good, lot’s of energy.  I did a cardio work-out video, and my kids joined in for a bit.  It was so cute watching my 2, 3 and 7 year olds, trying to copy all the moves, and counting along with the instructor.  I now see that I am also setting a good example for my kids by working out, so that’s good, should thing about that the next time I don’t feel like working out.  I was reluctant to do it today, but my 7 yr old reminded me that I had promised to work out, and why I wasn’t doing anything.  So I have someone to push me on at least lol!

Tommorow I have some time to spare in the morning, so I plan to walk for at least 30-60 minutes, they say the weather should be good tommorow.

I guess this does require some dedication.  But on a good note, I did lose 2 pounds since Monday, woohoo, and imagine, I didn’t even do my scheduled exercise.  I had it planned for Monday, but my fam took over the TV, and yesterday I just didn’t make any time for it.  But I did boogie to music for 20 min with my kids on Monday.  Also, on Tuesday I walked briskly for 45 min during my day.

I need to find a way to do exercise, where I don’t think it’s a chore or something that must be done like cleaning my oven, but I keep on pushing it forward to another day.  This is how I feel about exercise right now.  But I love doing exercise when I actually start doing it, I have more energy and feel I could accomplish anything afterwards.

I didn’t write in my food journal yesterday, but I don’t think I can keep up with writing down all the calories in all the food’s I eat.  I will just write it down in a small notebook.  I ate pretty good yesterday, and did not have as much sweets as I did on Monday.  Hopefully my small weightloss will motivate me to continue doing good today. 

I just joined this group with the purpose of having a place to write down my thoughts and keep tabs on my weight loss progress.  Also, to find someone who I can speak with regarding losing weight.  So I took my measurements today(scary, all of them were over 50 inches) and my current weight 297 lbs.  I gained over 20 lbs just starting this new year, without me even noticing.

I had a good brakfast and lunch, but when I went to buy groceries I bought some Easter chocolates that were on sale to buy for my kids.  But who was I kidding, a gave them a bit, and ate the rest for myself.  I need to work on my impulsive junk purchases bought in the name for the kids.  I mean they don’t even need them.

I have scheduled my cardio workout for after dinner.  I have told everyone in my family so they know I have the livingroom to myself for 45 minutes.  I hopr to write in my blog everynight, to keep me on track.  On my next blog, I’ll write about my family and my support system at home.
