Happy Monday!

My weigh in went well yesterday, I was at 208 so that makes 4 pounds lost for the week! I moved up to 4th place, yay!!! :)

What a weekend….the party went really well, everyone had a great time, JC loved it. I had one slice of pizza during the party, and I planned for it by eating super light earlier. I had two slices yesterday, and THAT I am not happy about. I retained some water weight from the sodium this morning, so I am going to do two workouts today to sweat it out. It was my first time eating something that I hadn’t planned to in all of this time, and I learned from it because A) it wasn’t worth it and now B) I have to work extra hard today to balance it out. Oh well, lesson learned. Back to the grind this week!

I had so much stuff to do yesterday, we woke up super early for Palm Sunday service and we had the usual errands plus getting ready for Easter. I had to make three Easter baskets, including Dylan’s Thomas & Friends themed basket. I always go a little crazy for holidays, and Easter is no exception!

Because you runners who kick ass have been inspiring me, I jogged a little on Friday during my walk. I did 11 laps around 4 blocks, I would walk 3 blocks and jog 1 block. I walked/jogged a total of 44 blocks, much more than my usual 36 during my lunch hour. Oh boy, I have a loooooooong way to go to get anywhere close to how great you runners are! My goal is to do the same each day this week to start building my endurance.

I am so happy that I’ve made these changes, that I’ve found others here who inspire me every day, that I’ve joined Allan’s challenge, that I have so much to look forward to. I am so grateful.

    Congrats on your weight loss!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

    And yay for jogging!! That is awesome!! You will build your endurance in no time.

    Ryan loves Thomas, too!! Good idea on the themed Easter baskets. I might steal that from you and I really don't want to load their baskets with cheap chocolate.
