mars2kids's Journal, 02 November 2015

I finally did a weigh in, it's been a month since my last, and I gained 2 lbs in the last month, so that needs to NOT become a trend. It's so easy to gain over the holidays, and this year I'd like to maintain or lose instead of the typical gain I have, especially since I'm already up from what I've been the past few years at this time. It's all up to me and the choices I make.

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween! We had fun seeing our little niece go trick-or-treating for the first time and my daughter went for what is probably her last time (she's just at that age). My son went with a friend, so we didn't go with him, but he said he had a lot of fun. I ate way too much junk food, but at least walking around with the kids helped me get some steps in and I did go for a run on Sunday, which I haven't done in forever. It was in the upper 70's here so I took advantage of the nice weather.

I'm getting things slowly marked off my to-do lists and trying not to stress over things that are either out of my control or not going to really be in my control for a few weeks yet. I need to take charge of the things I can control, like food and exercise. It felt great to push myself with a run yesterday and I know it would feel great to push myself every day, but it's just finding the time in the evenings. Tonight my son has scouts and I need to study for a test, but I think while he's at scouts I'm going to try to either go for a walk or do a workout during that hour. I always end up guilting myself into staying for the meetings, but I'm really going to try to get out of there because whenever I stay I just sit there twiddling my thumbs for the hour and try to stay awake. I need to take that hour and be a little selfish.

That's it for me today. Have a great Monday!!
