Week 3

Today starts week 3. I forgot to mention, I reweighed myself last week and turns out that I lost about 3 pounds. Wish it was more but it's something. I'm glad that I have made it this long. In the past I would have stopped after the first day. I would have thought, "this hurts way to much and it isn't worth it." But maybe it is worth it. If it makes me slim down and get healthier, then it is worth it. If it prolongs my life and my time with my family, then it is definitely worth it. 


I was not motivated today. When I got up this morning, I didn't want to do my cardio. Morning turned to afternoon and I still had not done my walk. I didn't forget, I just did not want to do it. I thought about it all day. I knew I needed to do it. Finally, at around 5:30pm I got on my treadmill, logged in to netflix from my kindle and started my walk. It wasn't bad at all today and it went by quicker then usual. I still have the other 30 minutes to do tonight after Mike goes to bed. 


I would really like to push myself this week. I want to push for a higher weight on the machines and even try to walk my full hour all at once. 


The eating part is starting to get a little hard too. We had people over on Saturday for a BBQ. I did eat a lot better then I used to, but I still ate more than I should have. I only had 1 burger (in the past I would eat 2). They brought chocolate cake. Oh, I love love love chocolate cake. Normally, I would eat 2 big pieces. I managed to fight the urge and only are 1 medium piece and then a tiny sliver later. It gets the hardest when I watch my husband eat more of the things we love. He gets more calories than I do, so of course, he gets to eat more. It makes me a little jealous and then I want to go into the kitchen and get more. I haven't lately.
