Oh, well . . . .

Unfortunately, my busy schedule has interfered with my exercise routine. And my lack of will power has yet again sabotaged my diet. Hopefully, this little lesson has taught me to remain focused and more accountable. We will see. I hope tomorrow is a better day. But have a lot to do, so maybe not. But friday, I have no excuses. . . . Well, not yet anyway.

3.5miles today

Well, today I was on the elliptical for 3 1/2 miles. But this afternoon, my back is killing me. So, I must have pulled it sometime today. The boys and I pigged out on Easter candy yesterday. Which I know isn't good. But really peeps are just sugar, and I only had 1 Reese's eggs. Which are the best candy EVER! But my plan is to not pig out again. The boys are doing a good job of making a dent in the Easter candy. And they are doing a great job of reminding me to exercise. One day at a time.

How many miles can you go?

At the gym, they have a map of the US and they are challenging people to keep track of their miles-to see how where they could have walked/run/biked to. It is kinda fun. Thinking in a year you could have ran to New York. I think Oklahoma City is a more appropriate goal! LOL! Seriously, I am going to keep track, but I am trying to incorporate some of my home DVD's because they have strength training and aerobics together in 1 workout. I figure if I do them 2-3times a week that will help with building more lean muscle. I am still doing way better on my exercise than eating. And I am trying not to let my busy schedule negatively affect me. Well, I have laundry and baking to finish. So, I gotta run!

Why do I have to plateau?

I have been doing okay with my plan. Better with exercising than eating. And I am getting frustrated with my current plateau. Trying to get my house ready to put on the market is taking up a lot of time. I plan to keep taking it one day at a time and not get too frustrated. At least I haven't gained. Working all weekend throws me off a little off schedule with my exercise. I had hoped to get up early and exercise before work, but I really don't sleep well during the day-so it was a no go this afternoon. I think it would be better to work out when I get home. We will see how tomorrow goes.

I have not fallen off the face of the earth!

I had been trying to do a more daily update, but my busy schedule was making that tough. I haven't lost anymore weight, but haven't gained. I have been doing good with exercising, and having hit and miss days with my eating. But there have been some great successes. Like I am not eating after the boys go to bed. And I am truely making a better effort with my choices. And I am not allowing 1 misstep to affect the whole day/week. So, I feel really good about it. I have to work all weekend, but I still hope to do some sort of exercise on those days.
