One Small Step

I did it! I got up off the couch this morning and did a 1 mile walk with Leslie Sansone. I bought the Walk Away the Pounds program about 2 years ago, gave it a try for a few weeks, lost a little, felt tons better, but didn't stick with it. I'm not entirely sure why...Its easy enough for me to do, starting out as a beginner once again, so I think this is what I'll be doing for now. I feel guilty that the treadmill is sitting there collecting dust, but I'm really not sure my joints are ready for it.

I had a pretty decent weekend, with the exception of the snow...I am so over winter. I'm ready for sunshine and warm temperatures so I can get out and get the flowers planted. I also am anxious to get the garden dug up and replanted. Last years tomatoes were awesome! I had a few extremely bored moments over the weekend when everyone was happy and there was nothing to be done and I almost gave in to the chips and pepsi that were calling me from the counter...instead, I grabbed a glass of water and then went and brushed my teeth and completely killed that craving. I was proud of myself for that. I've done a pretty good job of not giving in to my emotional eating here lately. Gum chewing has been a big help. I know that I save a ton of calories each day by not giving in and that, I think< is why the scale has stopped moving up. Now that I am putting a little bit of exercise into my day, hopefully I start to see it go down just a little.

Well, 10 minutes til the kids get up. Time to get this very cold, very white Monday started!
