I'm feeling much better today. I had a headache yesterday toward the end of the day and it's decided to reappear, but I can deal. It seems like when I workout the headache isn't so bad, I think the blood pumping helps for a while. I'm just happy that my stomach and cold are better.

I'm taking my measurements Sunday since I'm done with one month of my new plan. I'm ready to see if I've lost anything there. I feel good, stronger than I was. I think I can scare myself into not pushing harder in my workouts, but I have been trying to ignore that voice and it's made me feel more confident. I never thought I'd be using 15 lb dumbbells. That's not a lot to some, but for me it is. I'm going to buy some 20 lb ones this weekend too so I can try some workouts with those. I'm excited to start the next phase of this program and see how much stronger I feel at the end of that.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

I have not felt well the past couple of days, I think the little bit of eating off plan on Tuesday did me in a little bit. My stomach is super sensitive, so if I go off track when I'm used to eating a certain way I really feel it. I think when I eat well for a long period of time, then I really notice it more when I eat junk, and it's enough for me to not want it again for a while. I'm pushing through though. I've been back to eating on plan and other than being a little tired this afternoon, my stomach is starting to feel better. It's amazing how you can eat healthy foods and somewhat take for granted how good you feel, then you eat junk and feel crumby and realize how crumby you really felt when you were in the habit of eating junk. These are the moments I need to remember when I'm tempted later on.

In other news (and I'm not sure if I put this in another journal), my brother is getting married on Saturday. This will be both of their second marriages. I'm just hoping for a long and healthy marriage because I think they've both had pain and need some good. I don't know his fiancé very well, so I'm looking forward to getting to know her in time.

Anyway, enough for me. It's getting close to the weekend! Have a great Thursday!!

Yesterday I took the day off and went to the zoo with my daughter, my mom, and two of my nieces. It was fun to take the day to walk through the zoo and see my four year old niece enjoy the animals. Of all things she thought the ostrich was beautiful. :) It just goes to show you beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Then, we went to eat at IHOP. That was the kids choice. I ended up eating about 3/4 of my two scrambled eggs and 1 1/2 pancakes with a little syrup. I really wasn't very hungry, but I just ate until I was full, and still ended up staying under my calorie target. I'm learning. I used to eat until I was miserable just because the food tasted good, and now I'm learning that I can enjoy what I'm eating but if I stop when I'm full I still feel good. Will it work every time, probably not, but one meal at a time.

No workout yesterday because we weren't home until late, but I'll get back on track today. And, I was walking quite a bit yesterday, so I'm happy with that. Those days off where you have a mental break to just have fun are wonderful. :)

Have a great Wednesday!!

I'm feeling better today, tired, but not so much of the cold symptoms. I didn't do much over the weekend, just kind of lazed about because I was exhausted. I did get my usual household stuff and a workout done, but nothing major. I'm hoping the rest helped. I didn't weigh-in this morning, so we'll see what the scales hold tomorrow.

This Saturday my brother is getting married for the second time. I'm happy for him because he's happy, but I don't know his fiancé at all. We met her last Thanksgiving and she seemed nice, but that's it, so it's going to be kind of strange to have a new person, and her kids, in the family. I guess we'll hopefully have a lot of time to get to know them all. The wedding is just a super casual, backyard ceremony, so it will be kind of nice not to have to worry too much about what to wear or doing my hair. It's in the evening too, so I should have plenty of time to get my workout in too.

Anyway, those are my thoughts/goings on for the day. I hope everyone has a great Monday!!

TGIF!! Ready for the weekend. I've been tired with this bit of a cold the past couple of days, so the rest on the weekend will be good. I do feel just a bit better right now, so I'm hoping if I stick to the cold meds it won't get any worse.

Last night I had a WOE fail a little because we had breakfast food for dinner and I ate a couple of pancakes. I'm moving forward today though and just doing my best. I think the plan I'm on is good, but I just need to find some better options for dinner or even lower calorie lunch while I'm at work. I'm supposed to eat 3 times during my work day, so even though I may have some healthy foods, the calories can add up. My family is so picky, it's just hard to find something we all like that doesn't break my calorie bank at dinner either. I'm going to try to work harder on evening snacking too because that is a hard habit to break. It's all work, but it's all worth it in the end.

So, I guess I know what I need to work on, now I need to figure out how to fix it. :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
