Just a quick post because I'm super tired tonight (and it's only 9pm-I am such a grandma).
Today has been a decent day-busy at work and didn't feel like myself all day but this afternoon, Z & I took a 1.5 mile walk and I'm feeling much better. Afterward, I made mexican chicken (w/black beans, corn, salsa, & taco seasoning) & rice and we finished off the triple fruit chocolate pudding. I am still very full-should have cut back on my rice portion-and my eyes are getting heavy.
The sounds of crickets outside my door right now has me SO looking forward to spring and the fact that it will be 60+ degrees for the next 10 days here. Even if it's raining, I'm happy for the impending season change. It was so nice to get outside tonight to walk-I really think I just needed some fresh air to shove me out of the 'bleh' mode.
My calorie intake wasn't too bad today and I've had the most physical activity I've had in a while. Z joined the weight loss train too but we're terming it 'healthy living' just so we both stay motivated and don't get to stressed. He's especially fond of reading up on the current life topic and is really enjoying this guy.
So the next few days and coming weeks are sure to be a challenge but I'm so glad to be making this change now and not waiting until after kids come along or my schedule gets too busy. I already have so many excuses not to live healthily, I don't need any help in that front. However, I'm definitely not claiming that I will be at x pounds by x date. I'm taking this whole journey one day at a time and one decision at a time. That's what it's all about right? Better decisions for a better me.
Until next time,
Bethany
P.S. One more day of school 'til spring break and I am ECSTATIC!!!
