It was time to take a break!Took me a couple days to allow myself a treat, but once I did it definitely relaxed me. I was truly stressing myself out. Putting way too much pressure on results, worried I wouldn't have good numbers to present all of you with.
I proud to announce during all of the naughty, naughty, naughty eating I've done since the 15th, I only gained back 5 pounds! Yes, only 5. That's what exercise does for you.
My sister is also on this journey of weight loss. We are both looking at a substantial amount needed but more importantly a clothing size that we would be happy living in. That size gives us a break from the scale. I think that's more important. How I feel.
With that, I joined her on a new diet program she's been on. It's much more strict and will keep me on track with my eating, and when I say strict...I mean strict.
It's been raining here and down in the 50's...after 2 days of high 80's and a few 70's. Living in the Midwest is giving me whiplash :) It's time to get out of the dungeon, I mean the gym! Get some fresh air and sunlight. Wiping the dust off of my new bike I got for Mother's Day last year. My gym membership expired Monday the 29th, perfect timing! I have a good 2 hour window to myself after work before I pick the kids up at school. We have wonderful trails in town provided by our park district. Going to get the bike rack hooked up on my Tahoe and pedal my troubles away!
I'm going to let yard work be my strength training, in addition to the remodel we are doing on our house. I have window boxes and porch railings to paint. Tons of flowers to plant and weeds to pull. We scraped our popcorn ceiling off Tuesday night and last night when I got in bed, I could barely lift my arms. What did I say? "That was a good workout!". It was indeed.
Don't give up on me! I took a little vacation so I wouldn't lose my marbles!
Spring cleaning isn't just for your house, it's something you can also for your soul! Time to get cleaning :)
