Another promise unkept. Please do forgive my lack of posting since Monday. Work to say the least has been crazy and I have been trying to fulfill all of my painting orders before taking a little hiatus from the studio.
You're probably thinking that since I haven't posted since Monday that things are not going as well as I anticipated... Well, you are indeed wrong! Things are still going wonderfully. My quiet times each morning have been refreshing, my "diet" or as we like to say "eating healthy" is strangely good and things in general are just the same... good! Work and painting are the only reason I haven't posted again this week. So, today I'll share just a few things from the "healthy eating world".
When it comes to diet and exercise I have always been a bit out of place. Being a naturally large framed girl with big bones and big features diet has not come easy. I have always been very active in sports and colorguard and life in general and was in pretty good shape - it was just a big shape! Well, it's been almost 2 summers since I left the softball field and that shape has only grown and muscle tone diminished. Therefore with all of my other priorities for the year I decided it was time to really get serious about my (and Jon's) health.
Now, my family will tell you that there are a lot of foods I love and they will also tell you there are a lot of foods that I don't love, namely the stuff that's good for me :) But, I decided that if I could just eat it enough I would begin to like it and it's working! I have fallen in love with my broiler and with steamed vegetables... as long as they have plenty of Tony Cachere's on them. I eat Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal every morning, have an apple a day, soup or a turkey wrap for lunch and a sensible dinner. I even broiled Catfish the other night! And the best part is - it's all good! When I get the munchies during the day I have my trusty 100 calorie snack packs on hand and with plenty of water I stay pretty full. yes, I said water Granny... it's still not my favorite but I'm drinking it!
So, the meals are going well. I am also walking at the track several times a week and doing step aerobics every other morning. At the end of my first full week I had lost a total of 4 lbs. Now I know that doesn't sound like much... but it is! And it's certainly better than nothing. So come on and jump on the "health wagon". If I can ride and not fall off anyone can!
See you tomorrow for sure where I want to tell you about my Titus 2 challenge! Love you!
