Where am I headed?

Two steps forward and....aaahhhhh!  I'm going in the wrong direction!  After 3 weeks of no sweets and no sugar in my drinks (coffee, tea and water only), the only thing I have lost is my mind.  :(  Actually, I have gained a pound.  Not sure how that happened.  I have been eating a smaller breakfast (cereal or egg whites), having a lite lunch and salad for supper.  I confess to eating calorie dense foods (that sounds better than fatty-foods) on Sundays, but I would guess that for the last few weeks I have cut my calorie intake by almost half.
And I have been getting some form of exercise in 5-6 days a week. In the last blog, I mentioned exercising 60 minutes a day.   Well, I'm not there yet. Maybe this will be the week!
I plan to continue to weigh myself everyday, but I'm not going to focus on that.  I'm afraid that if I do, I'll give up. SO--I'm going to  plan to continue eating for nutrition and to continue exercising and trust that good will come from it!
Here's hoping for great results for each of you.

Time to Play!

While watching the SuperBowl (yea, Eli!), I kept seeing the Play 60 commercial, which promotes an hour of play each day for kids.  And I decided that I, too, need to play 60!  The 20 -30 minutes of walking I might get 3 or 4 days a week is just not enough, especially for the amount of calories I take in.
Yes, I am trying to reduce the portion sizes and the types of food I eat so that I don't consume more calories than I need, but I also need to increase how much I move. Here are 3 reasons I need to move more:
1--Movement is good for my physical health--keeps the blood flowing, the bowels moving, and the muscles strong.
2--Movement is good for my mental health--keeps the blues away and the brain active.
3--Movement is good for...   ...
Okay, so there are 2 reasons!  See!?!--without movement, my brain isn't active enough to come up with 3 reasons!
Anyway, today, I ate correctly: things my body needs for fuel and the correct amounts. Today was good. Tomorrow may be a little more challenging because of our Ladies' Bible Study/Supper. Those old Baptist women sure can cook!
My plan is to journal my eating and exercise on this blog. My prayer is that it helps me and encourages you.
See you next week!
