Fitting in Excerise

Boy is it hard to find the time to go to the gym or even a simple walk around the block, alone. So I have been doing things with the kids and our dog to shed the pounds. Yesterday, I went swimming in the lake. Yes, it was freezing but we had a blast. Two times a day I play in the yard with the kids and our dog. Either running after them, or simply staying active.

Today, we are going with friends to the pool. The high is suppose to be 85 so hopefully we will enjoy the cool weather.

I have not weighed myself lately. I have stopped eating when I am full. Made my portions smaller than normal and feel good about it. Hopefully, down the road my appearence we become slender.

New weight

Well I weighed myself at my in laws the past weekend and I have lost 10pds. I am pretty proud of myself. I really think its been rearranging my activities throughout the week. In the mornings I play soccer with my oldest son. This morning for instance we were running around the yard while I was holding my 10 month old son who weighs 25 pds.

I need to get a gym membership though. I think that is where I will be able to see rapid weight loss.

Today starts the beginning

Today I am excited to say that I will start on my weight loss adventure. Since the birth of my second child I have been extremely lazy about my food intake and workout regime. I am excited to do this along with some great girlfriends as an additional support group. Hey, I can use all the support I can take. My biggest weakness is a combination of portion control and soda. Now that I know this I hope I can steer clear of them.
