Good morning everyone!
I hope that you all survived the Easter candy without too much of a struggle. We didn't have much around our house, but DH did talk me into baking a cake yesterday afternoon. Thanks to my extended family's efforts, though, there are only a few pieces left. That temptation will be out of the house by this evening!
Weigh in this morning went better than I expected, actually. After the week I had, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I've maintained last week's weigh in number. I fully expected to see a small game, especially since... ***WARNING TO DAX...AVERT YOUR EYES*** TOM arrived yesterday. At least that explains why I've been starving all week long. Don't know why I didn't realize that before now!
Hopefully I'll have a nice loss to report next Monday.
This week has a big challenge looming for me. My mom and sister are arriving on Friday so we can drive together to attend a family wedding on Saturday. This means I'll have limited dining options for 1.5 days. I don't want to have to stress about what I'm able to eat while out of town, so I'm going to faithfully exercise leading up to our Saturday departure and then just focus on making the best available choices while I'm out of town. This theory worked well for me over Spring break, so I'm hoping it will hold this time around.
I've decided to make weekly goals each Monday morning. This worked well for me in the beginning. I'm hoping that by reporting my successes and failures each evening I'll be more motivated to remain faithful to my program. Here it goes...
Goals for the week of 4/12/04:
Treadmill 1-3 miles and 30 minutes Pilates each day.
Eat low- to mid-range of points each day.
Take vitamins daily.
Get caught up on the Bible study that I'm 3.5 weeks behind on.
Love my kids fiercely!
I hope that you all have a great Monday. DS is content in his saucer for now, so I'm off to get caught up on some journals.
