Tuesday, March 18

Like my month wasn't stressful enough already. . .

So I went this morning for my monthly weigh-in and wouldn't you know it. I gained a pound! After the week/month I've had dealing with my husband on his pain issues (that's a whole nother blog) and our summer plans for childcare that he doesn't think we need, I knew it wasn't going to be a good month. I'm actually glad it wasn't a larger gain. And do I get any credit for being bloated because of you know what?

Yes, it would have been nice to loose another 5 pounds, but at least I know I have it within my power to loose it. One pound at a time:)

On the bright side, I have walked 4 days in the past week. My goals are to increase my mobility with walking like I did earlier this week with the kids and a co-worker and purchase a pedometer. I really need to get my pilates DVD out and do it at least once a week. Say a prayer for me that I get the motivation I need to make these goals a reality. I need all the help I can get, especially with all this rain outside.

I hereby declare March as a BAD month! With the exception of Amanda and all her "March is my month" bliss (I mean, c'mon, weren't we all blissful the month WE got married??) I haven't seen anyone else just on-top-of-the-world, I-can-do-anything happy. I think it's all March's fault!

On a supportive note (*wink, wink*)I think you're doing great girl. You ARE motivated and it is working for you. Remember, it's not all in the scale - sometimes it's just in the tape measure or even just in the state-of-mind and feeling better about yourself. Keep going strong babe!!

Sometimes it's the step backwards that reminds us how badly we want to move forward...way to not be discouraged but to look at the positive, you've already seen proof that you can do this. Good Luck...sorry I took it all for March, I'll share in April!

DITTO, DITTO, DITTO :)

I'm glad to see that you're still motivated, and the walking is GREAT for your health and losing weight.

I think that T is right, March is a yuck month. Maybe we're all just anxious for Spring, already.

Great to see your posts, keep 'em coming!!! :)
