Before After

I think I figured it out.

I was thinking yesterday that maybe I was eating just too much and that could be why I was not losing any weight. So I decided to cut back yesterday on my eating and really think about what I am putting in my mouth. I was happy to see it went back down to 140, just a pound shy of 139. I'm going to try harder to watch my eating habits. I have been playing around with treats too much lately and I don't count calories or points. I'm terrible at keeping track of those things. That's why I avoid going to diet programs because I don't usually stick with it. I'm trying to intake more fruits and veggies. I eat too much starch and carbs, but not enough fruits and veggies to balance out all that carb I'm eating.

My fitness is going fine with weight lifting, running and yoga stretches at night. My husband and I did go to the YMCA last Saturday which is the first time I ever worked out with him and workout on a Saturday at the Y. My husband wants to go back and exercise more hopefully by Friday. Just taking it step by step with him.

We were also playing around with the RealAge test from Dr. Oz and I had to change a few things on my test since I lost some weight and workout more often. My real age is now 25.4 when it was 30.6 2 years ago. The test is really interesting and gave me some insights on improving my real age.

I had 2 doctors appointments yesterday for my husband and his blood pressure was really high at 188/100 and doctor gave him some new mediciations to bring down his  blood pressure. Now he is very drowsy and less anxious about things. He was driving me crazy about his blood pressure going up so high.

Tomorrow is the 4th of July. I love 4th of July. It's one of my favorite  holiday of the year. We will get together with 2 close friends of ours and we're going to have a small BBQ to chat and then go to Epcot to watch the fireworks. I went to Lake Eola last year in downtown Orlando to see the fireworks and it was really lousy. People were smoking, cussing and drunk all over the place. I told my hubby that this place is not family friendly for our 2 year old daughter and we're not going there again.

I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July tomorrow and appericate the freedom we have in our country. The freedom to be able to lose weight and change ourselves to be a better person.

Dr. Oz

I LOVE Dr. Oz.  Do you get the RealAge newsletter in your inbox just about every day?  The tips are priceless!

I'm glad you're on track with exercise and eating.  Don't worry too much about tomorrow - have fun!  One of these days I'm going to have to go to the States for July 4th.  It's wonderful to see people celebrate the pride they have for their country.

Have a great time!!!

How awesome

Bet your little one loves (??) the fireworks shows.  Hope so anyway!!  You are doing great - glad dh is getting on the exercise and that the BP med seemed to calm him down. 

(( Hugs ))

Have a good...

4th!  I hope your dh's blood pressure gets under control!  That is just awful!  Here's to the 130's sister!
