Tuesday
Yesterday was a good day. School went well and the weather was great (60 degrees in Iowa in November!!) I went home after school and cut the grass for the last time and then put in 45 minutes on the treadmill. And the most amazing news of all is I only ate foods that are on my program. I think the fact that I have finally hit the point where exercise isn’t shocking my body into losing weight is forcing me into eating properly. And in all honesty I enjoy eating healthy foods. For supper we had pork chops with tomatoes, broccoli and cucumbers. And for some reason my 4 year old is on a veggie kick so that is providing encouragement to stick with the veggies to be a good role model for him.
This morning I got on the scale in my normal routine and I was down to 282.5. My goal for next Monday is to be lower than 280.
On a side note before I went home yesterday I stopped at the drug store to mail a few packages and noticed a woman park her jeep at the curb to run in the store. That always irritates me but to make it worse she left her 2 kids alone with the car running. The kids were about 2 and a newborn. She is so lucky nobody drove away with her kids. I’m sure she locked the door but if someone is a kidnapper/child molester they aren’t going to let a locked jeep get in the way. It just so happens that she was buying stamps so I told her that her kids were too young to be left in the car by themselves. Is it worth risking their safety for STAMPS??? The look she gave me let me know she didn’t appreciate me butting into her business but for heaven’s sake those kids are too young to be left by themselves. I was shaking I was so mad. I was still angry until I got off the treadmill, I think the exercise allowed me to work through my feelings. And I pushed it a little faster than I normally do. Maybe I should get angry more often before I exercise, who knows??? Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
