I have been trying to blog but my brain has flat lined. Seriously. It is hard to put sentences together lately. Moms seem to always joke that they lose some of their brain power after children. It's no joke. There are just days when the only things I can remember to do are feed, clothe and entertain my son. Forget other things like paying bills and making appointments and trying to keep in touch with my friends and family. With hopes for future children (none on the way people), I don't see this problem resolving itself anytime soon. With that said, here is the latest in my world:
My weight loss was pretty disappointing this week. It was .3 lbs. Not even 1 pound! UGHHHH! Since I did well with exercise, I have to blame my poor eating habits. When the hubby is away, I don't plan my meals well. It's kind of like "hmmm, I should eat something" at 8pm and all there is in the house is baby food and popcorn. Then an hour later I'm hungry again and eat something like cheese and crackers. So this week I am really trying to focus on healthy, balanced meals that provide some nutrition.
I was able to head to the gym today for 2.5 hours. It felt great! Then I went on a long walk with my neighbor. The weather is absolutely beautiful here. We just had to go outside. With the walk and the gym, my fitness watch clocked 4 hours and 28 minutes of exercise and said I burned 943 calories. I'll accept those numbers. :-)
My brain is now officially blank. My pillow has never looked so good!
You may not have lost pounds, but I bet you lost inches... Remember when you are exercising like this that you are building muscle which weigh more than fat! Of course you could start counting your points using Weight Watchers... ouch... sorry, for sounding like your mom... like you wanted advice in public... well you do what you do best and that is make a plan and then do it! :-) Love your blog... thanks for keeping us updated on your daily life!
