Before After

whoa - it's already June

Well - I guess I got up and got moving after my last post... it's been a few days since I have been on here.  I got everything done that needed to be done on Thursday.  And then ended up taking a 30 minute nap... my body needed it.  I felt fine after that. 

Friday - I went to my husbands basketball camp and did some stuff there... took some pics for the local paper.  Ran some errands and then went out to dinner with some friends.  (Mexican food in another town) - and we helped give away their free puppies... I wanted one, but dh said nope...  :(   but it's okay - I have two mini-schnauzers right now... :)

Saturday - more errands, house cleaning, then swimming for 3 hours with my dh and ds... I love that time of day!!!!  after that a quick meeting and then Pizza with family. 

Sunday - church, shopping for shoes for my son - (who is only 9 and in 3rd grade - we had to buy him a men's size 7 shoe - i thought i was going to cry... i kept trying to get him in the largest kids size... no such luck.  But his father is 6'6" - 280 and then there's me - I am 6'0.  So he has no choice to be tall, but still he's only 9 and in a men's shoe), after my break-down in the shoe store we went swimming for 2 hours (and when we swim, we really swim... play games, race, etc...we go hard), more church and then dinner with friends again.

Okay, so in all of that I see that I had no consistent exercise.  I mean we go hard when we swim and wear ourselves out, but I try not to count that as my main exercise, just in case we can't make it out there... luckily we were able to twice this weekend.  Sunday - after it stormed horribly.  But still... I need to have some more consistency.  And the eating out thing - it's so hard to eat good in a small town - when there is nothing but burger places around and 1 pizza place.  And I have read that getting salads at places like that isn't always the best way to go.  I stuck to my doctors guidelines for fast food, but it still felt so unhealthy.  We eat great when we are home... very healthy.  But we live 10 minutes outside of the what other people call town... lol - and another 15 minutes from a real town - which is where I have to do all of my errands... so i guess from now on... it's packing a cooler with food and drinks, so we don't have to grab a bite.  I will let you know how that works out for us...

On the positive side - my portion control is good!  I don't overeat anymore - woo-woo!!!!!!!!  And I haven't been emotionally eating in I don't know how long... more points for me. 

Here's to shedding more of the Mask!!!

Portions

POrtion control is a huge factor in losing weight.  Way to go!  You should be so proud of yourself!

Hanging in there

Hi, thanks for the note. I am staying on course... i have a my meals ready for tomorrow. Good thing i prep everything over the weekend. It's been a long Monday but i'm looking forward to Friday =) keep on shedding the mask.

Cooler

I tend to pack a cooler with me when I am around town like doing errands, so I don't have to worry about finding healthy food to eat. I have it with me in the car all ready to eat. It really saved a lot of time and money and stress to do that. You can invest in a small one at Target or Walmart. Definitely worth it.
