Back on track

I am so glad to be back in a routine.  Yesterday I did well with eating, the only exception being too many mixed nuts.  Even though I know I ate too many I did manage to stop myself before I ate the entire can.  Tonight I’m going to ask my hubby to hide them.  I wouldn’t have even eaten them if I hadn’t opened the cupboard to get something for one of the boys.  I saw them sitting there and something salty at the time sounded good.  But to make up for it I baked fish for supper and had some veggies.  I also was able to get in a workout.  I can tell it’s making a difference because with this FIRM DVD you use medium weights.  Before my medium weights used to be 10 pounds and awhile ago I bumped them up to 12 pounds.  Now those are getting too light so I think I’m going to need to buy some 15 pound weights.  It makes me feel pretty good because the ladies on the DVD are using 5 pound weights.

We told my SIL that she would need to work off the $76 she wants to borrow through babysitting by the time the credit card bill arrives.  It’s a small step but at least this way we won’t have to cough up the money when the bill arrives.  It’s just amazing to me that she and my hubby grew up in the same house…he has such an amazing work ethic and sense of responsibility.  She’s a great person, don’t get me wrong, but has never been made to solve her own problems.

Hope everyone else had a good day.  Also, if any of you are motivated by success stories there is a new program on Discovery Health called “X-Weighted”  I have only seen it once but it follows someone on their weight loss journey over a period of time.  It’s on 11 am Central time.  I plan to tape it today and watch it on the treadmill tonight.

    Ten pounds! I use five pound hand weights, and have just recently been thinking about moving up to eight. You must have some strong arms and shoulders! Well done!
