That's more like it

I am down nearly 4 pounds!!! Yay for me!!!

So I am really proud of myself. Things have been different for me this time around. I have noticed some really great habits coming out of me lately. The first one, I am an emotional eater. I eat when I am happy or sad and I eat when others are happy or sad or anything in between. I have made many conscience choices to not eat emotionally over the past several weeks. I've had some pretty challenging situations lately. I have also been careful to reward myself with food for good diet behavior. I don't want to think of food as a reward.

Then there is the gym. No matter what I have made going to the gym a top priority. I've pulled many late nights just to make sure that I go. On the weekends, I have been trying to go twice a day. It's hard because I live pretty far from the gym but I am still trying to do it anyway. I've changed the treadmill routine. I am walking at a slower pace without an incline and then on a few occasions during the workout i will bump up the speed and run in 2 min. increments. I can't do it any longer than that because my heart rate starts to get too high. Running is a big deal for me. i am pretty clumsy and accident prone so running for the most part is generally out of the question. That ad its kind of uncomfortable with your fat flying around. LOL. Surprisingly that hasn't really been an issue. I'm also varying what I'm doing. I take water aerobics now, swim, and play racquetball. I actually thing the treadmill is beginning to miss me a bit ;O) This week I actually start using my Curves membership.

Well that's it for now. Here are this weeks stats.

last Week: 328.0
