So this week I'm at 293.4! Yea... It was a crazy week and another very active week. I know that the key for me is the activity which is really just a change of priorities but as you all know that is not an easy change to make. So this week I went to the gym on Monday and rode the bike 8 miles I think, worked up a sweat and then got on home ...Tuesday night I didn't make it to the gym, but I did go Wed., Thursday and Today for the Aqua (water aerobics) Class. I have just got to continue to fit it all in ... I think whats harder for me than making it to the gym is ...what will be for dinner on these nights!
By the time I get home from the gym ...class is at 5:45pm it is usually at least 7:30...so then it is 8:00-8:30 before we are having dinner. I have got to work on getting this figured out. We have continued to try new things and that keeps it interesting and more like a treat than a challenge. I am going to do some meal planning tomorrow to get ready for our week.
I would like to challenge each of you who have taken the time to read this to try something new this week. Whether it is a big change or a small one just try one thing that is more healthy for you and your family.
I am making a vegetable lasagna for our home team tomorrow night. I'm excited about this new recipe from weight watchers. If I find that it is incredible I will share this recipe with you next week. I did post the Mexican Turkey Burgers earlier this week. It is a Biggest Loser recipe that we both love. Eric has been a real sport I need to add. He is not much for getting away from the tried and true but he did try some new things this week ...even cantaloupe (which he still hates).
This week we will be making some modified homemade pizza. We will add turkey pepperoni, fat free cheese, and veggies...yumm...we are making these on the Spinach tortillas....something different I'll let you know how we like those as well.
I know that my weight loss journey has only just begun and I also know that it will not be an easy journey. But, I think that the key is that you just keep doing what you know you have to do and if you are active and you are being conscious about what you are eating it will happen. And so I will leave you with this story I overheard at one of my Aqua Classes this week :
The lady that was teaching was a rather large woman ...it was my first time in her class she had a sub teach last week anyway one of the other students was telling her how great she looked and she said " ya I'm pretty proud... I've lost 130 lbs since last September...a whole person... But I've got a long way to go". The student said " I've hit my plateau at 50lbs and I've lost 50 before but I always stop here and go back to my old habits. The teacher said to her " you CANNOT STOP! You didn't work this hard to lose this much and quit now she said just keep moving, increase your activity or skip aqua and take a spin class but DO NOT QUIT!!!!".
Blessings y'all...have a great week!
