WEEK 3

What a crazy past couple of weeks! The weather was getting to be pretty cold and we all got sick, then it got beautiful out......while we were still sick......now it's starting to get cold again.....now that we're slowly starting to feel better. Beacuse of us being sick I was only able to work out twice in the past two weeks. I tried to take advantage of the beautiful weather and we went for lots of walks for 2 days. I only LOST 1 lb this week. Making it a total of 4 lbs so far. 24 more to go by May!!
My biggest trials so far are the weather, finding time, and the water issue. I did really good with the water during the first week (and it showed). I was still even drinking 1/2 of a Gatorade a day to get my flavor fix. But then I started craving my Cherry Coke and Dr Pepper. I never really realized how "addicting" those drinks really are until now. Once I had one I was soooo craving one the next day and the next and so on. Most days I gave in to the temptation. I've got to stop that!!
Things I did during that first week that should become a daily routine:
  • Go on 1 mile walks with the girls twice a day (I can only do this when it's nice out though)
  • Mummy Tummy exercises
  • Dancing with Allie (or in other words chasing each other around the house)
  • 10-15 minutes on exercise bike
  • Jumping Jacks, Push Ups, Balance

As I start to feel less fatigued I'll add more exercises and increase time and lengths.
