Well I have been struggling, sometimes doesn't it seem that when you make two steps you take ten steps backward. Well sometimes I feel like this is happening with my health journey. Have you ever sabotaged yourself, not knowing you were until after the fact. Well today I didn't eat breakfast so I started off wrong and I ended up snacking a little more than I should of. I was making my son lunch and I ended up eating some Cheetos and some crackers, which those kind of things are not on any list I should eat. I have been working hard, most of the time I am only craving vegetables, I know isn't that crazy. When I was younger I wouldn't even try them, now I want asparagus, broccoli, spinach, corn, but I am craving green veggies like crazy, I guess when your body is working correctly it tells you subliminally what you should eat. Well I should be back on track starting tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Today I have slacked off a little, yes I am human. Let me start at the beginning of this day, I started out by getting my kids ready for school and then my plan was to take a walk early but I got a little lazy and played on the computer. I then went on some errands and then came home. I usually pick up my daughter via car but today I decided I would walk and pick her up it is about 20 minutes walk up hill so I thought this would make up a little for my laziness. I ended up walking 2.8 miles in 42 minutes, kind of slow, I know but on the way home I walked slower because my daughter was talking with me. So I ended up burning 288 calories, I usually burn more, but I decided every once in a while you need a break, most of the time I work out 7 days a week. So all in all it was a day to relax.... somewhat.

Okay sorry for the slow post this week, it has been a little hectic. I have been working my butt off, I really need to, it is bigger than it should be, okay actually it is lower than it should be, but I am working on it. I never realized when I was younger that one day my butt would drift south, since losing the amount of weight I have lost, the extra sagging skin is not fun. Now it isn't everywhere, just my butt and arms, so I am desperately trying to tone up. Not as easy as it looks. I do so many toning exercises it is crazy but one day it will pay off.
I have been doing lots of squats, lunges, push ups (which I could only do 1 if that before, so this pleases me). I walked 8 miles today and lots of crunches. I enjoy working out, especially the walking, it relaxes me and I love being out in the fresh air. So I wish I could do this for a living I would love it. I enjoy listening to the birds and seeing the bees pollinating, it is very springy here in Vegas.

It can be hard to stay on the path. I am a baker, not by trade but by birth it seems. I love to bake anything sweet, and my family loves it, but sometimes it can be hard to resist the tasty treats that I whip up. I do eat at least one to make sure my recipe is good, but once you taste something good it is hard to not want another one. I never had any willpower when I was younger, but now when I look at something I think about how long I have to exercise to work it off, so I usually never tend to eat more than one. It took me a long time to get to that point, but now that I am there, I watch everything I put in my mouth. I no longer look at food for hunger, I now look at that I only want to eat things I think taste great. I used to eat hamburgers, and some places have better ones, but they are basically the same. Now I want to taste something and truly taste it, I always was a fast eater, so I was never really truly tasting it. I do have a teenager and a younger child so we always keep some things that would not be good for my journey, but I am steadfast.
