Kedrake18's Journal, 25 September 2017

Lots to journal about today. I'm down 6.1 pounds in 10days. :) I think that's pretty good for just changing the way I'm eating. I haven't managed any planned exercise yet. I had the opportunity to go walking or exercise on Sunday, but choose to paint the shutters and trim on the front of the house...and trust me that is a full body workout that I am feeling today..pretty sure I'm going to feel it more tomorrow. Before and after pic of the house in the comments. I still have to paint the gutters, but need to get a tall ladder before I can do that...I forsee a trip to Lowes this week. :3

Now lets talk food choices over the weekend..Saturday we were suppose to go to a birthday party at a skating ring, but found out when we got there that it had been put on hold til the next weekend because the birthday girl was sick. So on the way we went to Arbys and grabbed lunch. I ordered only a sandwich, then had a few of my hubby's fries. It was not the best choice, more planning and I could have had lunch on the go, but it's not easy with an 8yr old and a 4 month old let me tell ya. lol. So I made the best choice I could at that time.

Now Sunday is where I made worse choices...but I was still in calorie range for that day. I had a reasonable breakfast, then I painted the house and worked through lunch. I did stop and get water and eat the last of the watermelon in the fridge but that was it. Then in the afternoon I had company come over, so we ended up ordering pizza because I had yet to defrost anything from the freezer for dinner. I have several slices and it was totally worth it. I enjoyed it, and I'm not going to beat myself up over it. :) I could have eaten more than I did, but I told myself no. I think this is what is causing me to feel reeeeally hungry this morning, I'm going to stick to my plan though. I've already had my breakfast, and I'll have a snack probably about 9:30, til then lots of fluids.

I didn't do a scale check this morning, but it was probably elevated because of all the salt I had this weekend. I'm hoping since I didn't go crazy with the amount of calories I had those days, that the sodium will flush out this week and the scale will drop again next Saturday. Also I sweated so much on Sunday and I got sunburned pretty good..it was overcast and I didn't think about how long I was out there painting. lol. Ah well.

Hope everyone has a Good Monday and is able to start the week off making good choices. Stay Positive People!! :D

Thank you! :) I'm looking forward to finishing the trim this next weekend, weather permitting. Also landscaping the flower bed on the front of the house.

What a great job you have done, what a difference it has made. Yes juggling a couple of kids and being a mum is definitely not easy that's for sure lol it sounds like you did the best you could with your food choices well done and more importantly you were always mindful of your food intake. That would not have been easy.

Thank you Thomas for your support. :) I'm striving to be as mindful as possible of my food intake, they say it takes 30 days to make a habit. So I'm hoping to have a well established habit by the middle of next month. I also fill up quickly now and drink a ton of water with my meals, so that helps with portion control as well. I hope you're having a great week! :)
