Hit 20 today!

Well, slow and steady wins the race I guess.  13 months.  Finally hit 20 lbs down today.  Another lb closer to my goal and another lb closer to my size 10 pants in my closet.  Got to move my slider today.  Have been eating a little better, desperately trying to stay under 1400 calories.  Today should be day 3 over 10k steps.  I went to the Y today and did 2.42 miles on the treadmill, 36 min, 25 mins of Upper body weights and 5 min stretch.  Yesterday, I did 39 mins on the Gazelle and 28 mins on the Wii Fit Plus.  The day before, I did 39 min on Wii Fit Plus and a 20 min walk with dog.  The Wii Fit Plus has been great.  It is SO bitter cold and windy here for the last 3 days!  50 mph wind gusts and 7 degree wind chill!  I probably should not have walked the dog the other night.  When the wind blew in my face, it literally took my breath away.  I just felt like I could not suck in air.  So being able to stay in and do Wii Fit Plus is great.  Paul played a few of the games last night and had fun.  Paul is at 40 mins total accumulated time on Wii Fit for the last year.  I am now over 13 hrs!  Your piggy bank turns bronze when you hit 10 hrs.  Anyway, I am determined to make 2010 the year I get my act together. I made Paul and David Italian sausages and potaoes yesterday for dinner with rolls for sandwiches and green beans.  I ate a Healthy Choice Dinner myself, 310 calories.  So I have to stock my freezer for those nights when the boys are eating something I don't want to eat.  I am also focusing on tummy/abs a little more right now, toning.  Wii Fit Plus has some tummy exercises and I always start out with those.  Did the ab weights today.  Will also try to squeeze in some bender ball throughout the week.  I think that plus a few lbs is what I need to get down a size. Dreading work this week.  With the long holiday weekend, the number of fires I saw on the news over the weekend, the severe winds we have had, I am anticipating a bad week for me.  I cannot let this and the weather get me down.  It was really hard getting up this morning.  Only 75 more days until Spring!  It is supposed to be bitter cold for 2 weeks now.  And with my job, going in burned up buildings in this weather for 1-2 hrs is brutal!  So if I survive the next 4-6 weeks, I will be ok.
