Better
Today was better as far as eating goes. I avoided snacking with the exception of a few Doritos. Ya'll know eating right is so hard for me.
Anyway, I am keeping a food journal. Made it a whole 3 days now. Woohoo! And I went to the gym last night where I walked/jogged on the treadmill for 40 minutes. Tonight I wogged for 45 minutes on the treadmill. And I actually got DH to go with me. He was kicking and screaming the whole way but he went. No Curves. That was partially his fault. I was ready to leave at 7:10 because I have to get there by 7:30 to make the last workout since they close at 8. Well, it took him until 7:30 to get out the door. I wanted to leave him so I could make it Curves and the gym but he needs this too and he promised me last night he would go with me tonight. I probably won't make him go anymore but I just worry about him. He is 28 and already has high blood pressure. He went to the Dr on Monday and they are checking him for high cholesterol and diabetes. I know it has to be a decision he makes on his own so I will have to let him. He did good though once he got to the gym. He walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes and then did weights for a little bit. Well, we'll see how it goes tomorrow night.
BL was great tonight. The opening segment was very motivational and a true reality check. I hate what they did to them at the end! Looking forward to seeing this play out.
Oh yeah, I bought the new Biggest Loser Weightloss Yoga DVD Monday night. I meant to get up this morning to give it a try but I slept right through the alarm. Hopefully, I will be able to drag by butt out of bed to try it tomorrow morning.
Thanks for all your supportive comments the other day. I really appreciate it! Ya'll always help me get my mojoe back!

Great Job
I'm so glad you are doing better now with your eating and exercise and that your motivation has gotten your husband to work out with you. You're doing great. I go to Oxygen gym - ya know between Wendy's and the Waffle House hahaha. Let me know how you like the yoga dvd.. I saw that offered on QVC along with a Bob boot camp. When I can get myself back on schedule we'll have to make another walking date. Maybe we can shoot for the weekend until the days get longer. I hope your husbands test come out well ... maybe this will be just serious enough to motivate him. That happened to me last year.. my BP was up a bit and they checked me for diabetes and it was just on border.. then I lost 20 pounds and all the tests came back normal.. but I still got a good lecture every time... about what could happen. Unfortunately - well it wasn't fortune it was all my doing.. I gained most of it back.. but now I'm back on track and I'm gonna get that off and more and be healthy.... oooh those test on TBL made me think more about it... got to do this for our health - the hot sexy bod is just a side benefit.

way to go!
Good job on logging the food. That is something I can never get into the habit of doing. Glad that your DH went with you to the gym. He may have kicked and screamed but it was definitley a step. By the way don't not ask him anymore to go....that's giving into him, instead, ask him everytime! That's letting him know subconsciously that you want him to go with you, and that he needs to go with you. He may refuse, but I think once he sees how well you are doing, he will realize that not only does he need to support you, but himself as well.
As far as BL, I watched it, wasn't that so sad. I never can get through an episode with out crying. Because I feel their pain.
Anyways, keep up the good work!
