I worked out today. I haven't done it for the past 2 weeks. Last time I weighed in I lost 1 pound by only eliminating snacks from my day. But it turns out that not exercising makes me depressed. It reminds me of that line from Legally Blonde: "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands. They just don't."

I've been thinking of giving myself a goal date to work towards. Mom and Dad get home in 3 months and in October Katy will be 1 and I wanted to get family pictures taken then. So, that's my goal date. I just have to push through for 3 months and then we'll see how I feel then.

Sean  suggested I designate specific days of the week that I don't exercise. I've learned that taking 2 days off in a row (like Saturday and Sunday) is too hard for me. It's just too much at one time and I can't get back into my routine. I haven't decided which days I'll take off yet, though. Maybe Sunday and Thursday or something. Yes, Sunday and Thursday. Decision made.

Starting July 1st

Yay :)

I weighed myself last week and gained another pound. I was distraught. I know this blog has been a bit depressing so I decided not to post anything. Sean has been trying to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong and suggested I count calories again. So I did. And I was eating too much. I've stopped snacking altogether and am not eating after 8 p.m. again. And.....I lost 1 pound!!! I know it's not much but man it feels good. I didn't even work out the entire week and still lost weight. Yes! I thought I would feel deprived and starving with no snacks during the day but I feel, surprisingly upbeat and not at all like I'm missing out on anything. I hope to keep up this 1-pound-a-week weightloss. If that happens I will lose 50 lbs in a year. Awesome.
