Stronger, Better, Faster... March 1

kjllose

Well this is unbelievable, I'm starting the post for March! And how is everybody on the 1st? I'm hoping this finds all of you healthy happy and in a good mood!

I finally got on the scale and as you can see my ticker is still going backwards! I gained one lb. But I expected it to look so much worse. I am going mall walking with my daughter today and I am picking up another tape measure. I may as well be depressed all in one day.

Goals for today. All my waters
Salad at lunch
Portion control at supper.
One hour of cardio with Richard Simmons

Don't laugh, he seems to be the only thing I want to do. I tried the others and didn't even make it two weeks. Why I don't know. I did so much better and was more motivated the first time around. Anyway if I am willing to do him I will take it.

Enough about that, what is everybody doing for March? Can't wait to hear if anyone is doing anything special.

For March:
I'm giving up cow cheese, butter, and added sugar (no sweets or added sugar in my coffee, but stuff like Crasins are allowed). We are going to a fancy restaurant on Friday, so that will make skipping dessert difficult, but I will do it. My other challenge will be going to Fort Worth for my sister's birthday towards the end of the month. The coffee doesn't taste as good this morning, but I'll get used to it.

My bike ride is Saturday and the weather looks good so far.

I'm also taking the week during spring break to just do as many yoga classes as possible (a local place offers unlimited classes for $20 for your first week, I figured, try them all).

Yesterday, I did walk/jog at the gym, went to yoga, and walked outside with husband. We went to my parent's party and stuffed ourselves. The dessert was worth every single calorie.

Today is a long bike ride.

Happy workouts!

Hi!
Karen, I'm sure my scale is going in the backwards direction too. I have been so naughty this weekend! I am eating a semi healthy dinner but we are going out for ice cream afterward! My first real sweets in a month!
March has started off great for me. We went to church as usual and that service was totally awesome! I can't even explain it. It was real and it was awesome. A man gave me some words of encouragement about something I said a while back and it encouraged him so that was awesome. Then a friend made us a meal and brought me a gift. The gift was ceramic nesting dolls! I LOVE nesting dolls AND they are from Russia! Also two of the teachers for the kids said they want to start teaching the children a few Russian words like hello and goodbye to help our future kids get settled in! Is that not the sweetest thing? I have really been struggling with if this is the Lord's will or not. We've been praying for confirmation all week long. I believe these two things (the dolls and teaching kids Russian) are confirmations, as little as they might seem. So it has been a blessed blessed blessed day for me! I am very excited and encouraged in the Lord.
I hope I have not offended anyone by what I have said. I just want to share!
My cousin and her family will be here in about 30 minutes so I need to get busy. I will be back with you all tomorrow!
