I know its been 3 weeks! Please don't hurt me! Things have been pretty crazy, but I promise I have been still weighing myself.
Moving is not the most fun thing to do, and for at least 2 of those weeks that is what I was doing. Moving things from the house to the apartment, which I am still excited about, but I hope I don't have to do any more moving anytime soon. And then this past week on Sunday I had a candle party so I had to get ready for that. We had to get a washer and dryer moved in and that was my Saturday. But I am here now!
How are things going? Well I have found that when you are trying to save money, eating out is not the best thing for it, so now that we have groceries in the house maybe that will occur a little less. I have been watching what I eat as far as the sugar thing goes, and trying not to eat to much fat or calories. I think for about a week I had my old appetite back, and I blame that on all the diet sodas. Water is your friend. Remember that. We finally made a visit to our fitness center this week where we discovered that 2 of the 4 pieces of equipment has parts broken on them. Isn't that lovely? But I discovered how out of shape I really am when I could only go 20 minutes on the elliptical. I was pouring sweat grant you and my heart rate was way about where it should be, but I used to be able to go for an hour at a time on that thing. I will just have to work my way up to it.
If anyone is wondering how school is going, I am happy to report that I have all A's so far and only 2 more weeks left! I am learning in my wellness class about nutrition and of course weight loss. I am hear to tell you that mypyramid.gov is an excellent place to track all your food intake with their food diary. It gives you a daily breakdown of what types of nutrients you are eating and you can personalize it so you can lose weight. It will tell you if you are eating too many carbohydrates or fats as well as proteins. So check it out, it has every food in it! That is the best way to watch what you eat because you can actually see how much you consume in front of you, and you don't really realize how much you are eating and how bad you are eating until you see it in front of you.
This entry is going to be short and sweet and I am going to put the past 3 weeks stats on here as well. The last one will be for this Friday.
