Nikki - 5.6 lbs! Wow, that is so amazing. Even though you feel like it was just a big drop for the first week (BTW I didn't have a big drop my first week) it does mean you have committed and completed a week and have a great start. WAY TO GO!
Exercise: - What: walk
- Time: 31 minutes
- Distance: 1.6 miles
- What : stretching
- Time : 15 minutes
I did an unscheduled walk today! I had such a funny day. We hired a new employee and he is from Spain and doesn't have a car and he had to go to these orientation meetings all over, plus to the social security office. Anyway, I ended up driving him and then waiting in the car and reading during his appts. The social security one took forever so we stopped at an indian place (the only place close by that I knew of) for lunch. I didn't completely overdo it, believe me, it could have been worse. But when I got home, I estimated my points at 22. So I had motivation for getting out other than the beautiful weather to earn some exercise points. After all is added up (with a salad for dinner tonight) I think I am going to only go over points by 2.
Mike didn't feel up to walking so it was just me and Iz. I feel like I take longer pushing the stroller, but I took a couple of minutes off my time. I tried to focus on the movements today. Instead of walking fast, I tried to walk with power and purpose. It felt great (except that I was burping up Indian the whole time). When I got back home, I did my stretches.
Am I the last person on the planet to see supersize me? Oh my, what a powerful movie. The first thing it made me want to do was to get tivo so we can "edit out" all the comercials on tv. The second thing was to be more involved in the school system, particularly in choosing the lunch menu. Mike and I rarely eat fast food (usually only when traveling and it can't be avoided, and usually then, we aim for the italian fast food chains so I can get a veggie pasta dish) so it won't have a direct effect on our current diet, but this movie makes me want to avoid fast food forever more. And it made me see the playgrounds at McDs in a whole new light, like 5 year olds smoking cigarettes. I never want to take Iz there.
