March progress
So March is 1/3 gone and I've lost 1.5 lbs. I have to lose 6 more (that's my goal anyway). So I need to lose about 1 pound every 3 days. I haven't been exercising for the last week. I knew losing that gym membership would slow me down. I just need to focus on getting some exercise every day. I'm doing pretty good with the food, mostly.
Yesterday I went to Burger King and had a double cheeseburger, so that's not so good. My husband had 5, yes, I said he had 5 double cheeseburgers. They're only a dollar. He tried to get me to buy 10, saying he could eat 10. I didn't believe him. He had 4 when I got home and then heated up the 5th a little later. I guess I'm glad he couldn't eat 9 or 10, but 5 is pretty bad too. I guess it's good I only had one. ;)
Later on he got a ben & jerry's ice cream out of the fridge. I asked him for a couple of bites and then remembered that I had the Klondike Skinny Cow ice creams (100 calories) in the freezer and went and got one of those instead. Sometimes I forget to eat my lower calorie snacks instead. Or maybe I'm just jealous of what he's eating.
Today he had a Tombstone pizza for lunch. I was half hoping that he wouldn't eat all of it so that I could have some, but he ate it all, I guess that's good for me. I had yogurt and lowfat granola for breakfast, turkey sandwich, grapes, and carrots for lunch. I've only had about 20 oz of water today though so I need to catch up with that. I hate having to pee every 30 minutes though. I swear, I must have a bladder the size of a pea. I guess it gets me off my seat though. Sitting at my computer all day, I certainly don't get any exercise.
My husband got a call from an ex-boss that offered him to work for her again, that's good. So he's going in there tomorrow to fill out an application and all to make it official. Maybe if he's out of the house some and I don't see him eating bad food, I won't be so tempted. More money is good too though! hehe. He hasn't worked in a while so this is definitely great news for us.
This weight loss really is about daily choices. I make choices to buy healthy items at the grocery store. I make choices every time I put something in my mouth or decide to exercise instead of cleaning the house or playing video games. I can and will make choices that affect my life and health in a positive manner. . . and so can you! We can do it!
