It's been a month?!

Sheesh! Time passes by so quickly. So, this month didn't go exactly how I had hoped. I haven't gotten myself into a routine of any kind. I am finding it hard to get motivated to exercise. That will be my goal for month 2!! I definately have been more aware of what I am eating...I am trying to limit portion sizes. I haven't deprived myself of treats completely. I need to slow down on them though...Eric, don't buy any more cookies!! :) I am happy that I lost 3 pounds this month! I am definately hoping to lose more this next month! I am needing some healthy recipe ideas! Any suggestions? Feel free to email me @ sniggi@gmail.com ! Thanks for your support everyone. Now I'm going to get my butt in gear and be as motivated as I was when I started this a month ago!

I've made it 3 weeks...

...barely! I am happy to post this time that I, by some miracle, was able to lose 2 pounds this past week...for a grand total of 3!! Woot! Sadly I didn't find the time to get my new jogging stroller together. I'm still in the process of unpacking boxes and finding stuff for all of our junk. We have too much! So, I am still lacking in the exercise department...(I did get a short walk in with the kids...one night. Does that count?) That is my goal for this week. Oh, and I did struggle with the snacking bit the last couple days. Addison and I enjoyed a few to many Nilla Wafers yesterday. Oops! Alright friends....until next week. I hope to have good news next week also!

2 weeks...already?!

Alright, I haven't been able to post as often as I'd like. Life has been throwing bumps and curves in my way these last two weeks! This is what usually happens to me when I decide that I need to make a lifestyle change. Bear with me. I am getting off to a rough start. Give me a couple more weeks to get into a groove! This past week my physical exercise was centered around lugging around a clingy one year old. Packing and moving boxes, and walking up and down a million stairs, at least!

I have had a hard time not snacking and have not been making the best food choices. I am happy to say that I didn't gain my whopping one pound back...I didn't lose any this week (I actually thought I would gain), but I maintained.

We are getting more settled in our new place every day. So the whole it takes two weeks to make a habit thing...is more like it takes a month...we'll see. I am really really hoping to get my jogging stroller together and take it for a test run sometime this weekend.

Thanks for following...hopefully I will have good news to share soon :) !! If any of you have decided to join me on my journey let me know! We can encourage each other!

:(

I have not been good this week.  With me being sick for a couple days and us getting ready to move I have justified why I am eating what I am eating way to often.  I'm not looking forward to my weigh in that's coming up in a couple days.....

Update

I gave in and weighed in this morning.  Much to my surprise I lost a pound over the last week.  It was a really rough week all around so that was encouraging to see.  Here's hoping to many more pounds are lost in the weeks to come!!

I made it through the week, sort of...

I did so good for the first few days...then we went out of town. That made it hard. We did go swimming so I got some exercise in :). Then some things in our life got a little turned upside down. Hopefully everything will start getting back on track. It may be another week or so before I do my 1st weigh in and before I get back to this blog. On a brighter note...my jogging stroller arrived and I can't wait to get it put together and use it! I am so excited!

Day 2

Oh today was a much better day!  I still did pretty well with my eating.  I didn't snack, ate good portion sizes and exercised!  I was able to run a half mile! Woot!  And then I walked another half.  It felt so good to run again!  It didn't cause any more pain in my arm, and I am hoping that it stays that way.  Also today I ordered

this jogging stroller.  I can't wait to get it so that I can take Addison running with me. 

P.S. my walk this morning got cancelled due to rain.  Where is my sun?!
