Well last week on the personal side was complete exhaustion, our son has determined sleeping is not necessary. Therefore, his parents do not sleep. This makes the alarm at 5am, to make you go walk/exercise...a HUGE challenge. I did not get as much walking (or any) in last week. I did get to the pool 4days with swim lessons for 40 min with a 25lb child. That counts as cardio, I am certain!! The dieting/healthy eating has been okay. I succeed at work, and tend to fail at home!!
I started Weight Watchers again yesterday and have walked 1.5 each day on Sunday and Monday. It's started out to be a better week.
8 weeks till the 5K, watch out here we come!!

Oh how far we have fallen........
Well, as you can see by the LONG delay in posts, we have fallen off the wagon. June was a very busy month and provided even less opportunities to get out and move. Thus, the scale is showing the side effects of less moving and more fast food of convenience.
We are back up the lovely 8lbs we had lost and after the 4th of July's activities, it just continued on the bad path.
So here we are, July 13th--we have exactly 2 months until Homestead Festival. Can you lose 100lbs in 2 months? No, you can't if we are lucky we will lose 10lbs.
So, the focus of the next 3 weeks is this, move it! Get out there and move it AT LEAST 3 times a week. My son, starts his swimming lessons today, and we will be in the pool for 40 min a day for 3 days a week. That has to be a start in the right direction. We also are going to try and walk to the pool for lessons with the stroller and that is about 1 mile round trip, its a start!
Eating, we must eat better. No eating out this week, we had an expensive weekend last week and therefore, we will be eating at home all week. We are going to focus on portion size. Even if you eat a treat or chocolate chip cookie, eat one, not 5 (which I have done in the past).
So goals or thoughts for the week--
Move, get out and do something, walk at least a mile.
Food, eat less in portions than you need and focus on veggies and fruits.
Lets check back on Sunday and see how its gone!
