190.5 lb. Feeling strangely unaffected by that number. Simply looks like it's a long road ahead. Gotta find my Fitbit. Week one is officially underway. My aim is to drop 1.5 to 2 pounds per week. Goal weight likely will fall somewhere between 135 and 140 lbs. I'm not chasing a number really but rather a "feel good" vibe. Here's the scoop so far.
Exercise: Walking/running/chasing after kids. Yup, I'm counting that. My neighbour Melissa saw today what happens when the twins crawl in two different directions...outside....fast (Kenzie with a mouthful of grass), while Kiara is riding a bike....heading for the street. 30 min spin on my bike that left me jelly-legged. Gotta tune my bike, it's squeaky (yes it's been a while)!
Food: It's day 2 today and I've been "good". No major cheating other than finishing up some buttery toast (and some other little dinner leftovers) off Kiara's plate (Come on! it's a waste! :) ). In my defence, it was 21 grain toast. I'll see next week if I'll have to put an end to that too. For all of you nerds out there I'm using this week as a feedback loop situation. I evaluate at the end and adjust for next week. I also cut out sugar and milk out of my tea and coffee. Ok fine, I ran out of the low fat milk today so I indulged in whole in my cereal this morning. Guilt took over though, so let's just say that cereal was rather crunchy :).
Doesn't look like I'll be able to get my ass in gear for a workout this evening. Tomorrow's plan is a run outside. When I say a run though, I'm using the term loosely. F bombs will be dropped. Ok, gotta catch up on some TV shows now....
P.S. Photo for the entry pending.....apparently my photographer needs a "couple of days" lead time *eye roll*. Waiting for that inspiration then....you can't rush art.
