You Can Do Hod Sings

This is going to sound perfectly crazy, but the toughest thing for me this week has been getting all my points in. I've never had this problem before, EVER. But everyday this week by dinnertime I'm just not wanting to eat much of anything. I'm thinking this coming week I'll try to get most of my points in at breakfast and lunch and see if that helps in some way. Eating when I really don't want to be eating is hard. And truly, I never though the words "when I really don't want to be eating" would ever leave these lips!

Today was my second weigh-in. I lost 3 lb, bringing my total weight lost to 11 lb. so far! I'm happy with every single pound, every half pound, every .2 pounds... as long as I'm losing, I'm good. I fully realize there will be weeks that I don't lose a darn thing and I'll be ready for and okay with that too. As long as I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing to take this extra weight off, I'm okay with the scale.

I walked 13 miles again this week. I've walked 26 miles in 2 weeks time. I can't remember the last time I walked 26 miles. Some of those miles were fairly easy and some of those miles were so hard I wanted to quit. But you know what gets me through them? I'm doing a walk-at-home video (love Leslie Sansone!), so the girls sometimes get into it too. On one of my first days walking I turned to Allison who was taking a break on the couch and I said "This is SO hard Alli. I can't do this. I want to quit!", to which she replied "You can do hod sings Mommy. Anybody can if dems wants to." Such wisdom from a 5 year old. And you're right baby girl, I CAN do hard things. I'm doing them for me and for you and your brothers and sister. 

I've got this.
