Last night I asked my sister when we were going to start walking again, figuring she'd give me a few days of slacking before I got back into exercising. To my surprise she said "How about tonight?" Of course my brain immediately screamed, "NOOO!!!!!!" I reluctantly agreed and she met me with the boys at 5:30. We got going and walked our 2.5 miles in about 45 minutes. This was no easy feat considering we were dragging and pushing 30, 50, and 70 lbs of kids! I felt great,<--- although my head looked like it was going to explode.
When we got back I made myself a half a cheese quesadilla with salsa. About an hour later I started to feel the urge to snack, so I decided to clean. I must be nuts, right? I lugged laundry around the house, vacuumed, dusted and scrubbed the bathroom.
When I got on the scale this morning (which was my "old" weigh-in time) I was shocked to see I am under 290. My "old" starting weight was 296, so I kept off 6.4 of the lbs I lose before. WOO HOO!!!! That made me feel awesome.
Tonight Mom E. is coming for dinner. I threw a whole chicken in the crockpot with lots of spices. I'm making mashed potatoes w/gravy, green beans, and rolls. I ate light today and I'm going to try to load up on green beans so I don't gorge myself on gravy and rolls. Oh how I love rolls. Too bad bread rolls = more fat rolls!
:o)

The thing I like about what you are doing becca is that you are doing this the sensible and practical way rather than going by stupid fad diets. Diets such as the Atkins diet tell you to load up on red meat and forget about carbohydrates almost all together. I see that you are eating things from all the food groups and going by calorie intake rather than a fad diet. I will be reading this to see how your journey continues!
