OUT FOR A WALK....

Today started off to be such a beautiful day so we hung out around the house and got some more work done and hubby washed the van while Blake played on his bike. Although the sun was quite hot the breeze off the icy water was a bit cool which is something we still have to get use to living here. This afternoon before picking the kids up at school I took Blake for a walk in his stroller and once again today he fell asleep. God love him, he has been himself in almost 2 weeks and he just can't seem to get enough sleep. By this time the wind has changed and it was getting pretty cold by time the kids came out of school so we came straight home and didn't we get caught in a rain shower. Blake slept from 2:00pm until 4pm and is in a better mood but still not himself. I really really hope he gets over this soon!

***DOWN 3 POUNDS!

I know I don't really have a whole lot of weight to lose but I do need to lose around 10 pounds to lose the weight the I have put on in the last six months. I am struggling with this it is winter and it harder to get out walking on a daily bases like I'm use to. So I have been watching what I eat and drinking lots more water and not much is coming off until this morning I noticed that I did in fact lose 3 pounds to go with the 1 pound I lost a few days ago...must be doing something right! So in total this week I have lost 4 pounds and at least 6 pounds left to go...anything else will be a bonus :0)

***THE DECISION IS MADE....

.....On Monday I am going to start walking in the evening with a friend of mine. We decided today that we will work together to get one another out of the house without the kids and get some walking done. This will give us a chance to get to know each other better and develop a better friendship. This is a hard thing for me to do because I hate leaving my friends behind when it comes time to move but we aren't planning on moving anytime soon so I figure I may as well enjoy life here in Cape Breton and make this home. I am looking forward to getting out walking, it will be a nice break from the kids and getting exercise at the same time.

***LOSING WEIGHT....grrrr

I have been trying to lose some weight...not a lot of weight, I would be happy right now with losing 5-10 pounds but it doesn't matter what I do the weight will not come off. I have resorted back to my diet quite a few years ago when I ate special K for 2 meals a day and a good small portioned meal for the 3rd. Drinking lots of water and healthy snacks from time to time. I am giving this a try and with some walking and running my stairs I'm hoping to start seeing progress soon. Even a pound right now and I will be happy! Why is it so hard to do this time? EEEks, GRRRr. One day at a time!

***BACK OUT WALKING..

With all this nice weather we have been having lately I thought I would take advantage of it and get our for some walking. I really enjoy this time with Blake and he looks forward to getting out whenever possible. Today we ran into some friends from the school and went over to her house with the kids for a play date and they got along so good and Blake is wanting to go already. I will have to have them over soon to play here with Blake. It is so nice to see the sun shinning but it won't stay this way for much longer with lots of snow in the forecast for next week.
