The Begining of My end.

I've started trying to do something about....All of this (waving frantically at my middle section. I signed my 6 year old son up for Tae Kwon Do about 2 months ago. He loved it and since I was there Tuesday and Thursday nights anyways, I signed myself up for classes with the encouragement (read..Begging and pleading) of said son. I've taken 3 classes so far and I love it. It challenges not only my body, but my brain as well since I have to learn all of the terms and how to count in Korean.

I don't know what I weighed when I started eating better and taking classes 2 weeks ago, I probably should have weighed myself, but I didn't. So Monday morning I weighed myself at the YMCA, since I was there for my boys swimming lesson. I weighed in at... ready... 194 lbs. The heavest I've ever been was at 215lbs when I was pregnant with my 4 year old. I had weighed myself a few months ago on a friends scale and I weighed 198lbs. So 4 lbs in a few months wasn't anything to brag about. Then Tuesday and Thursday I attended my Tae Kwon Do class, and weighed myself after TKD on Thursday, same scale as I used Monday... I was down to 192 lbs.

2 lbs in 3 days... Wait... Is that possible? Can that actually happen? I guess eating right and exercising does do something! I have been doing really well. Cutting back on the sweets, the sugar, the caffiene, even the bread.. And I love my bread... Then of course PMS kicked in and I was craving the good stuff. In fact I believe I ate part of a loaf of Pretzel bread, an entire bag of Gummi Bears, and a 6 pk of Oreos.

Thank You Mother Nature... You Whore.

I've been trying to flush my body with water ever since. I made Tacos tonight. With ground Turkey instead of Beef. My family can't tell the difference in flavor and it's better for them. I was a good girl and ate my tacos without the torilla. Made a big ol salad out of it. And...Dammit...I wanted those Tortillas!!!

My daughter started her Running Clininc tonight and while she ran with a friend. I walked with her friends mom. We made it around once, and I could have kept going, but my walking buddy is just starting out, and was using her inhaler after an 1/8th of a mile. We'll walk again Wednesday and hopefully make it 2 laps this time.
