Weigh In- 7.19

Well today has been an adventure! I woke up this morning excited to run when my husband got home. We have a 3 1/2 year ol,d so I needed Matt to watch him while I ran. Well he has to work late tonight. Usually that would be enough for me to give up and not go. Not today! I got out the stroller and went for a run with my son. It wasn't everything I wanted. The stroller I have is the one we bought when he was born. It's been through a lot and anytime I actually ran the front wheels would turn the wrong way and it would stop me in my tracks. So I mostly just walked. Which was nice in a way too, we haven't walked around much since we moved here in Oct. X got to see a lot of animals and that was nice. We were out for almost an  hour so I'm happy about that.


As far as my exercise exercise today I didn't do as well as I wanted. I decided to just get it done after my run and I think I was just too worn out to really do what I needed to. I might try to do it again tonight after X goes to bed. I'm a little disappointed but then again I'm not giving up. In the past I totally would have let all these set backs be the end for the day.

I did ok with my food yesterday. It was a crazy busy day at work and I didn't really get a lunch break so I just ate a protein bar during a few calm moments. I did get a snack in but the majority of my calories came from dinner. I'm not sure if that is the best way to do it, I always have heard that you should try to keep your intake almost equal, so your body doesn't go into starvation mode. I need to think of some better things for quick lunches for days like this at work.

I'm really surprised by how much weight I lost this week. I'm going to talk more about my goals in another post but this week I lost 2.6 pounds. I really did try harder to count my calories everyday but I didn't expect this. I am nervous for next week. Anytime I start to exercise I either gain weight or stay the same. I'm hoping this is just for the first few weeks and then I will start to loose again. Either way it is frustrating to work hard and not see it reflected in the scale. I just need to keep it up and move past the first few weeks to see the difference.

All in all I'm happy with today!
