Something To Be Proud Of

I’m still on the weightloss bandwagon, it’s just going to be a slow process. I’m okay with that. It didn’t take me a week to put on the weight, so it won’t take a week to take it off. But it sure would be nice!

So far, I’m down 7lbs, and it feels good. I can’t see any difference yet, but it feels great just the same. I’ve been having a problem remember to eat on the weekends. I usually get so involved in working on our house that I forget to stop and make myself something to eat. Big problem. You have to eat to lose weight, and I can’t remember to do it! I’ve remember during the week because everything is regimented. I get up to go to work, lunch is at 12:00, and then I make dinner in the evening time. I eat because I know that I can’t get away during work to grab a healthy snack.

Then, there’s the cardio. I bought Jillian Michael’s DVD. She’s one of the trainers on Biggest Loser, and it totally kicked my ass. It was hard to walk for 3 days! I haven’t gotten enough courage to turn the DVD on again, but I figure the work I’ve been doing in the yard can count as my cardio for the moment.

And…..I baked a cake from scratch last night to take to my parent’s house. It was yellow cake with chocolate butter cream frosting. I didn’t have a large piece, I had just enough for a couple bites. That in itself is a big accomplishment!
