Day 6! Lost 1.5 lbs!
I was writing a journal Friday and the internet went down. :-( 1st 5 days all over 10k steps! Calories have been around 1450 to 1550 all week. Would like to try to keep it around 1400, so I am close. Just need to focus a little more this week. I am down to 163 lbs this AM, so 1.5 lbs down. Yay! I went to the Y yesterday for the first time in months. Did 35 minutes on the treadmill. Going to try to go a little later. Haven't done weights since February! need to get back to going on a regular basis. I have exercised at least 35 to 40 minutes every day.
I ordered Wii Cyberbike from Amazon.com. You guys know, I am a Wii fanatic. This is a magnetic bike and Wii game. Yep. I am a nut! I will let you know how I like it. Instead of walking around my island, I will now ride my bike around an island. It just looked so cool and I could not resist. Paul's going to have a fit. I went to Target today and picked up some low calorie powder for flavored water (Mio drops and Propel grape are my favorite.) Doing well with my water when I add a little flavor to it. (I add a lot more water than the directions call for but just having that little bit of flavor is helping me suck down more water.) I have been on Sparkpeople everyday logging in my calories. I printed a pumpkin muffin recipe I am going to try out later. I bought a nice new muffin pan at Target.
Reading a book called "Elizabeth Street" by Laura Fabiano on my Kindle. True story about her family and her great grandparents' immigration from Sicily to America in the early 1900s. It discusses the early Mafia. But it is really cool comparing the descriptions of life before immigration to my Grandparents' stories. (My grandparents were from Casero in Sicily.) Some of it is very appropriate today: rich vs poor people, tradtion, etc. I just started it last week.
David got a new mentor through his counselor. I am praying this works. I feel good about this man. he took David to go work out at Total Fitness and talks with David about how he feels, what he is going through, how to be a man, be responsible. Hopefully he will fill in the blanks with David since David and Paul do not have that kind of relationship. His name is Terrence (sp?) So far, I like him. Only been 1 week. He spends 4 hrs a week with David.
Hoping that I will feel more comfortable in my clothes over the next few weeks. Overall though, I feel a little more positive.
