So Halloween has come and gone. I’m a big fan of candy. I’ve had candy all my life. I remember dumping my Halloween bag out onto the floor and sorting and counting and eating. So this year, naturally, I’ve had a few pieces. I’m going to throw it all away tonight. We don’t need it in the house, so bye!
I took one picture of the scale the other day, and when I got on this morning, had to take another one! I’m happily surprised, and I’m excited to see the number continue to go down, down, down!
Don't make fun of the mismatched socks!
My food log doesn’t exist, I do apologize. I did measure out snacks though (14 large pretzels per serving, 1/4 cup granola, 3/4 cup Special K cereal), and increase my water. This week I am ontop of the food log though. I have seen how it helps see your slip-ups, and also what triggers over eating and indulging!
Exercise also wasn’t really there. Walking during trick-or-treating, and also moved around the house more during the day instead of being stationary while working. I did make it a point to take one person’s laundry at a time upstairs to be put away, and I folded while standing (and did squats to pick clothes from the pile!).Also, dancing at the Imagination Movers concert!
This week my goals are to:
1) Keep food log. Include EVERYTHING.
2) Get up and move! 10-15 minutes of just plain fun dancing
3) If weather allows, two 20 minute walks outside (if not, will do walking inside)
Thanks for coming back! I hope you join the conversation and leave a comment or two!
AWESOME Mandi on the loss! I struggled a bit too with the journal but once I committed it helped SO much! Here’s to another week, WOOT!!
You know what I would recommend for you? A pedometer. Get one..they are cheap and try to get 4,000 steps first. Then work your way up to 10,000 steps. I think that might be less overwhelming than starting a different exercise routine…cause everything you do during the day counts as exercise. :)
I actually have 2 pedometers plus my Gruve! I have to charge the Gruve, but I’ll start both tomorrow morning!
awesome job!!! Baby steps. the food journal will help alot. you girls are rocking week one of mamavation! Once you find a workout that works for you and you enjoy you’ll be hooked. Just trying giving different types a try. walking and then lead to running, workout videos, etc. I’m excited for you!
Yeah, Mandi! Down 2 and half, right? Awesome!
(I like to squeeze in some squats while I watch tv too.) Those little things add up – keep it going!
Keep dropping those pounds girl! I’m a fan of yours! Woooooooot! *hugs*
