Ok well, I didn't really lose any weight again this week, BUT...I don't even care because I went for my first jog yesterday!! Yay! Yay! Ok well, I jogged for 5 minutes, but you have to start somewhere, right? I have been going for 30 minute walks around the neighborhood when it's not raining, and today I did a 5 minute jog in those 30 minutes. Tomorrow if I still feel good, I'm going to jog for 10 minutes, and keep increasing slowly until I can run for 30 minutes. Now this "jog" is more of a walking-pace jog, but a jog is a jog, so it counts! Now that I'm getting back into exercising, I'm actually excited about this weight loss plan... Well, as excited as you can be about something like weight loss. See, I like to exercise, but I also like to eat. And if I can't exercise, and just have to limit what I eat, I get cranky... and I'm not very successful, as you may have noticed.
Now that I have a better idea of what to expect as far as weekly weight loss is concerned, I now can set smaller goals for myself... like, losing one pound per week. I have 5 weeks until we head back to the US, so my goal is to be back to pre-pregnancy weight by then. Wish me luck! And pray for good weather to continue!
And sorry, no pic this week, since I didn't lose any weight and I look the same as last week, in my opinion. And I also blame my lack of weight loss on Mark... he keeps feeding me! (See root beer/coke float below...yum)
