mars2kids's Journal, 02 October 2013

I stepped on the scale this morning prepared to record whatever my weight was and to my surprise I'm down .2 lbs. What? Not much, but with the way I've been eating and my lack of exercise I figured I'd be up at least 2 lbs. I've got 2 reasons I think I haven't gained: 1. stress, 2. could be that I've been off my depo shot for about 4 months and maybe now that my body is getting back to normal. Hmmmm.... Mysterious.

I didn't get the workout in that I wanted to last night, but I did take the dog for a good walk with my son, and that was an even better stress reliever that the other workout. Having my son talk to me about his day and what's going on in his life was so great, and made me so happy. Then, this morning I decided to sleep past my alarm (not on purpose), then realized that my daughter has volleyball practice this evening and I'm working late, so how do I workout? Well, I got the Couch to 5K app on my phone and today would only be 30 mins., so I think I'm going to try that, and we may be able to squeeze in a quick walk with the dog too. I need to exercise! It's supposed to rain this evening, so we'll see if I get that in.

My eating was okay yesterday until about 8 p.m. Then, it was peanut butter and chocolate chips, granted not more than a serving, but still not a good choice. I'm positive that stress/emotions played a part in that decision. Tonight will be busy with practice, so I shouldn't have time to snack like that.

I'm feeling more positive today. Nothing was resolved with the hubby yesterday because I'm stubborn and just knew I'd be mean, and he had to work early. I'll cool off and maybe we can discuss it tonight. I tend to just shove those things down, and I'm sure someday I'll explode, but I'm horrible with confrontation.

Well, for anyone who makes it through this whole journal, thanks for reading! Have a happy Hump Day!! :)
