I am back from the weekend with many happy things to report.
1) We shopped all day on Saturday. In one of the stores we went into, I found three really cute dresses, but the largest size they had was 16. I tried them on anyway and they all mostly fit. They were a little "grabby" across my belly, and I wasn't really looking for dresses, but it was great to be able to try on a size 16 and have it mostly fit! I finally found some shirts to try on in the last dept. store we went into. Every shirt I liked, I grabbed a 2X, for some I also grabbed 1X or 3X. I wasn't sure what size I would need due to pregnancy belly. I had to get 1x or size 18 in everything! I found 3 shirts that I loved, but they didn't have one of them in 1x so I am going to try to order it online. I also bought 2 scarves and a pair of sunglasses. I had a great time, fitting into a smaller size made my day!
2) Even though I was away this weekend, I ate great. Usually my mom and sis and I pig out together, lots of sweets and eating out, which does none of us any favors. this time, we ate out once, and the rest of the time it was healthy eating at home.
3) I am so proud that I did bootcamp last week. I hope to make it a more frequent thing. I have a lot of weeks where I can't do everything I want to do because I am traveling or have dinners with work or celebrations. It was really nice to note that I had a week with none of those things, and trying to make it a perfect week. It wasn't perfect, but I did really well. I am much more excited about exercise now and am looking forward to increase my walking speed and maybe even jogging a little if my knees can handle it. I want to get a new mp3 player or ipod, so I already have an idea about what I want to get the next time we do boot camp. It was a great way to get me back in the mindset of being healthy, making all my calories count for something nutritionally, exercising. In retrospect, I would say the hardest thing about bootcamp was eating only one sweet a day, the easiest was getting my fruits and veggies. the two things I would like to carry over into my every week is exercise and the new way of keeping track of points.
4) Isabel started walking this weekend!!! :)
