The weather where I live is slowly settling into spring. This past weekend was sometimes chilly, sometimes mild, and today it’s very warm out. I missed running early this morning! but had a nice walk after the kids got off to school. I have quite a bit of work to do in the garden later on today, I am most definitely counting that as exercise, ha.

I did my morning yoga, and I’m going to the Y for a few hours today as my kids are going over to my in-law’s house after school until bedtime. I’m going to sit in the sauna for 15, 20 minutes, then hit the elliptical and burn it up. Then I’m going to lift weights and end with a slow walk on the treadmill. When I hit 150 pounds I’m going to try the stair-stepper machine…I got on it once a few months ago when I was around 190 and it was so hard!! Weighed-in this morning at 156.5 pounds.

My appetite has been ok lately, I don’t have as much compulsion to overeat as I did starting this challenge. I’ve made stopping after one plate/bowl a habit, and brushing my teeth after every meal helps with this so much.I’ve been averse to cooking lately, too…for example this morning I made the kids pancakes and then for my own breakfast, instead of making my usual oatmeal I just ate a banana. I just did not feel like cooking something else. Not only does this slow my metabolism down (and thus I don’t burn as many calories just walking around and breathing) but it will make me extra-hungry at morning snack-time and lunch. I won’t overeat to compensate for missing breakfast but just thinking about it makes me feel deprived. I think for snack I will have a few walnuts with my carrots and cucumber slices.
