I DID IT!!

I am so incredibly proud of myself this week.  It's not that I've never lost weight before, I mean really....I'm 37 years old, of course I've lost weight before, but I've never really done it on my own.  I've used WW and Jenny Craig, and the Adkins Diet and the pills.  But this week, by just carefully watching my caloric intake and actually doing really well with the exercising, I'm down 1.5lbs.  I'm paying attention to my moods and when I want to eat, I'm not depriving myself of things that I want just making sure it's something that I actually want and I'm not just emo-eating (HA, my new phrase).  I've actually found myself saying "you don't need anything, you're just ________ (in put stressed, mad, upset, etc), just accept the emotion and do something to get past it"  very profound for me. 

The exercise is the biggest thing for me.  Friday night, notoriously a night for nothing, not to mention NON-healthy eating, I was very happy with the choices that I made.  I got home late, because well because it's Friday in the DC Metro area and that's just the way that it is.  Justin cooked dinner, but the recipe didn't turn out the way that it was suppose to, so it got pitched.  We ended up calling out to our local pizza place, Justin and I split a Turkey sub and a Tuna Sub and the boys got pizza.  I actually only ate the Tuna Sub.  Then got Chase down, by that time it was 7:30-8.  Sat down with Evan for a bit, and then put him down, well tried.  It was 9pm when I got on the Treadmill, before I would have completely blown it off.  But I think I'm finally ready to do this.  YAY ME! 

Ran Monday, doing a video with my Sister tonight and then running tomorrow.  I've gotta run by the -- sorry TV Timeout I love this song (listening to my iPod) Taylor Swift's Best Day, it's a song to her mom, I really need my mom to hear this song LOVE IT ok back to regularly scheduled blogging -- running store and get my new shoes, interested to see if they make a difference. 

No big challenges this weekend, I think we're suppose to go out to eat, I think I'm ready for it.  So, my goal is to finish week one in C25K, make smart choices and forgive myself the mistakes that I make.
