Weighing In :-)
Posted by My_Life_Now on 8th April 2008
I was MUCH happier with this weeks weigh in. Lost 1.2 pounds - that’s more like it! LOL!
Yesterday I went home and heated up leftovers for dinner for DD#2 and myself. The older kids were at theater practice, and the hubby was working. After dinner, DD#2 and I went for a 25 minute walk. I could have gone longer, but she was getting a little tired and I had to get back home to make dinner (not enough leftovers to reheat) for the second shift (kids and hubby). :-) I plan to walk everyday a minimum of 25 minutes with the baby (yeah, she’s still my baby even though she’s turning 6 next week). It’s good exercise for the both of us, and we also get to spend time together and talk while we walk. She got a huge kick out of it.
I also did some ab work in the morning and again before bed. I have the Yoga Booty Ballet DVD’s. I’m not crazy about the DVD to tell you the truth, but there is a segment on abs and I decided to try it. It’s a short segment, like maybe 5 minutes. Which is good because I can get it in before work, and then before bed. The first time I did it, I really didn’t feel anything. I felt like I was wasting my time. I gave it another shot because I thought maybe I was doing the exercise wrong. The second time was a tad more challenging. The third time - OMG!!! The exercises were the same, the intensity that I was doing them was the same, but I could really, REALLY feel it in the abs. So I’m going to stick with this workout twice a day until I’m ready to move on to a different work out. My biggest problem area is my tummy, and I know I will probably always have a little extra skin, but it would be nice to have it as tight as it can be.
I know I will need to step up the exercising, but this is a start for now. I need to work up to 4 activity points a day in order to get in the 28 a week that WW suggests (especially when going into maintenance).
Small NSV: I was sitting on the couch watching a movie with the hubby, and I was feeling snacky. I had some points available, and some AP’s. I’m trying not to eat after 7 though, and it was already 8:30. I drank some diet iced tea instead, and that didn’t curb the urge to snack. But I still resisted, and before I knew it the movie was over and it was time for bed! I knew I really wasn’t hungry, so I wasn’t denying myself - I was being true to myself. And that felt good because any other day I would have probably caved into the tempation, and probably eaten something that wasn’t healthy.
Thanks for stopping by.
