Morning Walk

I did it...I got up this morning and walked 30 minutes...a nice brisk walk up the hill next to our apartment complex...good workout!  I also had a vanilla blueberry smoothie this morning.  The weather is getting warmer...which means I am less interested in eating if I am warm :)  But on the flip side I crave ice cream and such.  We have decided to make some cherry sorbet in the near future...and I love watermelon too!  That helps with the cravings for ice cream!  I will be doing chores all day...I have salad and a chicken sausage for lunch and plans to make a shrimp caesar salad for dinner...YUMMY!  Can I continue the trend?  we will see tomorrow AM!

Hiking

Today Tim and I went on a hike.  We packed a light lunch to have and started the morning light with yogurt and a banana.  I had a small handful of dark chocolate m&ms and some lightly sweetened iced tea...plan to have chicken sausages and carrot sticks for dinner tonight with popcorn later.  Not a bad day all in all.  Now, if I can get up and walk in the morning...that would be ideal!

Off the wagon

So, I have fallen off the wagon.  I have hit that place where I know I am gaining weight, but just can't seem to stop the madness.  I know everyone has been here.  I keep thinking I can start tomorrow, I can start next week, I can do this later.  But...as the pounds creep on...I know that if I don't stop the madness I will find myself at 240 or more again.  I need to stop!  Rather than set high goals...I should keep them small and do-able.  One of my first ones will be exercise daily...I will walk tonight.  I will walk tomorrow and Sunday...and then I need to get on a walking schedule.  I will load a book on my ipod and get up in the am while it is cool and walk with the dog (she really needs the exercise too).  I can start there...and then add on as needed.  I believe my portions have been okay...but the snacking has gotten out of hand.  And I need more VEGGIES and FRUITS!
