So here is the weekly update after a really great almost four pound loss this week I gained a wee bit back and I am ok with that. I know my body and I know how it likes this up down up down game. If at the end of the month I am less I count that as a victory. I did stay true and try and get out to exercise more which I was happy with.
I also had a sort of NSV (non scale victory) if you will this week. When I applied to be a Mamavation Mom I really wanted to have this be the first of many steps in a weight loss and healthiness journey. So I promised myself that I didn't want to be that mom who sat round and had her kids blobbed out in front of the TV. So on Sunday I got and started back with Couch to 5k to get me over my running hump (I can do a mile straight but that is about it so I figured try this for awhile and get on a planned routine). So I went out and did about two miles in 30min. Then I got back took a breather and then said to my son, lets go for a bike ride. My goal for him is to get off his training wheels this summer. So he and I went out and did a two mile ride. Not much on a bike but for me who doesn't ride much and him it was huge. I was proud I was tired after running but I decided being a healthy mom and setting a healthy example was more important to me then relaxing.
I am starting to realize that the stuff with the scale will fall into line, but what I am doing in these early months post Mamavation is finding my way to a healthy lifestyle and for that I am very pleased with how I am doing.
Up this week...my goal was to track all my food this week (so far one day done!). It was also to stick with the every other day running schedule. On a personal note we head out for our family vacation this Sunday so I want to have one of my two graduate courses done before I leave.
How was your week everyone???
