Been Sick...

Well the darn stomach flue hit our house, first Samantha, then Bradley, then Me, then Art and and then Bradley AGAIN!! Not fun when your son sleeps on the top bunk and gets sick, sorry for the visual, lol :)

But to bring you up to date, I've lost 6.6 pounds thus far. I don't see a difference or feel one YET... But while the kids where sick I walked on the treadmill in my basement, did lunges and squats and did free weights. Then of course when I was down the for the count, I wasn't up to doing all of that, so that was a good week off of exercise.

I found the nutrition program Kelley put me on works really really well if I always remember a carb and a protein at each meal. And now I can tell when I've forgotten one or the other, I get tired and grumpy (just ask Art!!). I still am drinking one can of coke a day, but there have been days where I've had none. I only have one if I really need it and find that I"m getting really short tempered with the kids, seriously it's my drug of choice.

We've been going out a lot lately. So I've been going on-line and looking at the menus before going. Even though I can have a cheat meal, I try to pick healthier. I will say I did better at Roma Cafe dinner out than Luciano's!! But all in all I am learning and that's the whole point. You can't ALWAYS be perfect and pick the right thing, and if you try, I think your just setting yourself up for failure.

Now on to Super Bowl Sunday. I was bad. Not so much with food, but with alcohol. Kel gave me two drinks a week, and let's just say I totally over indulged and was down for the count the whole next day!!! Not smart at all. Won't be doing that again any time soon!!! I want my stomach to get smaller not like a guys beer belly, mine of course would be a wine belly, which is no better just more expensive, lol.

So all in all I am doing pretty good. Feeling more awake in the mornings, other than the the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday!!! I'm happy with what I've lost thus far and am looking forward to more and to actually feel and see the difference. This is doable.
