Great first weekend!

I'm back at work today, and I'm feeling pretty darn good! I had a great weekend. My eating habits still weren't the greatest, but overall, I feel pretty good about everything.

Saturday morning, Josh and I woke up at about 7:20, got dressed, and hit the road for a 10-minute walk. I'm following that plan that I found, and I felt like I got a pretty decent work out from it, considering I hardly walk much these days. We came back home, got ready for the day, and picked up our almost-3-year-old nephew Jacob. This is the first time we've ever taken him with us anywhere, just the two of us. We took him to Little Rock to IHOP for breakfast (yeah, first bad move eating wise) and then rushed to The Rave to see Despicable Me. LOVED it! Jacob loved it, too, which was what mattered the most. After the movie, I ran a few errands at Target, and Jacob insisted that he go to Barnes and Noble to play on the Thomas the Train play set. The kid is absolutely obsessed with Thomas! So that was about thirty minutes or so that I was able to sit down and catch my breath after running around with him so much. After all of that, we came back to Lonoke, grabbed McDonald's for lunch (strike two) and took him back to his E's house.

Josh and I went home, relaxed for a while, then went to his sister's house while they were gone, and took a swim in the pool. I of course can't swim, but I still moved around quite a bit and felt a little worn out but relaxed after an hour and a half. For dinner, we grabbed KFC (strike three) because cooking sounded like the biggest, hardest task in the world!

Sunday, we woke up at about 7:20 again and hit the road for another walk. We came home and for the rest of the day, caught up on rest from the day before. We were definitely more exhausted than we thought. For breakfast, I had a bowl of Quaker Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal, for lunch I had a Smoked Turkey Club panini, and for dinner, since I wasn't very hungry, I had some reduced fat Triscuits with honey. I wasn't hungry because (shame on me) Josh and I snacked quite a bit on Rice Krispies treats.

So my eating habits definitely weren't the greatest, but I'm getting used to waking up early and taking a walk. It makes me feel pretty dang good for the rest of the day, too. So, all in all, I feel pretty good about all of this weight-loss stuff. And I couldn't be happier about having such a supportive husband during all of it.

This morning, we woke up at 6:10, went for our walk, got ready for the day, and came to work. It's the first time in several months I've gotten to work well before 8:00. So, I'm in a dang good mood today. And I had a yogurt and water for breakfast, and I have goldfish crackers to snack on.

Our next work meeting for our weight-loss program will be tomorrow, and our next weigh-in will be Wednesday morning! I'm so excited about it!

I hope everyone has a great day :)
