The First Signs

Two evenings now I've gone for a walk downtown, the last one was with the kids. It was GREAT! I love spending the extra time alone with them, and it's good for us to be out in the fresh air moving! Problem is here in lovely NH it's still cold as Hell and now that I want to walk all the time, we can't because we FREEZE our faces off!

Yesterday I was a total slug and only did 30 minutes of workout. Then, for supper I ate cheese pizza. Granted they were Mia's from Pizza Hut that only were 200/slice, but still. HEIFER COW! I didn't lose any according to the Wii, but I didn't gain anything either so considering that... I guess I can't complain.

I REALLY hope tonight's weather is better than 38 degrees like weather dot com says, but I doubt it! I like going after dinner because it helps me mentally feel less guilty for what I've eaten. So sad that I am like this. Total control freak... that's why I have to be so militant about my calories.

The weekend is here, and its a kid weekend which makes dinners a huge challenge because having 5 kids I have to plan foods that I can make in larger amounts. I'm going to attempt tuna noodle casserole with either fat free or low fat ingredients. Just need to figure out calories per serving and should be good. Worse comes to worse, I'll only eat a tiny bit.

In good news, last year while at Fenway Park in Boston, MA, Brad bought me a windbreaker pullover with RED SOX across the front. I bought mens 2x but it was always snug in the hip/gut region so I stopped wearing it and my husband took it over. Well. Last night I decided the weather was too warm for a jacket, but too cold for a tshirt. I put it on and omg! I have ROOM in the hip and gut area!!! Even though I've lost a decent amount of weight over the last month, I haven't been able to really see it on me. I found where I lost it thanks to that windbreaker! LOL Believe me, that is a GREAT feeling and a GREAT place to lose some inches.

Small steps, big results, and the encouragement to not give up on your goals!
