Workin' Myself Back into the Groove

Literally.  I'm proud to say that I met all of the goals that I had for myself for the weekend.  One of my goals was to get my water in and I did it.  I drank ten 12 oz. glasses of water each day.  It is usually hard for me to drink water but I got out a cozy piece of stemware and loaded it up with ice, a slice of lemon and a cute straw and suddenly I wanted to drink it. 

My other goal was to walk 4 miles on both Saturday and Sunday.  Done.  So I wouldn't get overwhelmed with the walking I broke it up into two sessions - 2 miles in the morning and 2 miles in the evening.  I also did kettlebell exercises for 10 minutes in the afternoon.

THE BEST THING that I did over the weekend was to load the sparkpeople app onto my phone.  I love, love, LOVE it!  This may just be my saving grace.  I was so tired of counting points on WW (so tired of it that I couldn't bring myself to do it any longer) and I knew that I needed to keep track of my calories so I thought I'd give this a try.  It's so easy and the app is free!  All weekend I tracked my water intake, exercise and calories.  You just enter the food and it automatically calculates your calories, fat, carbs, protein.  This also comes in handy for me becasue I'm trying to up my protein.  If you're not familiar and want to check it out, the app is sparkpeople.com (of course you can do it on your computer, too).  My goal right now is to stay under 1200 calories and I'm happy to report that I did that, also. :)

Todays weight = 238.2 (-2.2)

Make it a great day!
