Good Gracious

I promise, that although I haven't been doing so great on the posting of my input and output I've not done that bad.

The first week or so is ALWAYS the hardest. 

Today is the first day this week that I've not worked out.  Not that I didn't want to work out...I just wasn't feeling very well and knew that it was best if I didn't attempt the workout.   I've also been walking Cope Creek while at lunch.  It is a little over a mile and it feels good to get out and get some air.  It was raining today so I wasn't able to walk.  Hopefully it will hold off long enough for me to go tomorrow. 

I've not weighed all week.  I hope to do that Friday morning.  I try to only do it once a week...but its hard not to step on the scale.  And even harder to see that it hasn't budged OR that its increased!  I hope that I am in the losing biz this week! 

I have been conscious of what I've been eating and trying to stick to correct portion sizes.  Which is something that I struggle with daily.  I've had a lot of soup, cereal, veggies, fruits, water, shake healthy shakes, and raspberry tea. 

Today I had Mexican for dinner and i tried something new (which I'm not big on change).  I had the bean burrito and didn't eat hardly any chips.  I'm so easily tempted by those delicious little crisps.  I was proud of myself when I left the restruant. 

I am going to leave you with an article I read today on Yahoo!  Top 8 Excuses for Not Being Fit by Jillian Michaels.  All I could say after I read it was "Ouch."
