Walking

Yesterday was rainy and I couldn't walk so I drove my car to see how far the park was from my house. Apparently it's a mile away. So I walk 2 miles every time I go to the park with my daughter. There's also a track that runs around the park that walk around before I head home but I don't know how long that is. I do have a pedometer somewhere. I bought one while I was pregnant but I don't know where I stashed it afterwards.

Let me explain. The company I worked for closed about 5 months before I got pregnant and when I couldn't find a job right away I started to walk. Then I got pregnant and decided that I would try and be healthy. I ate every well. No junk food. Well, the only junk food I ate was a piece of Dove dark chocolate at lunchtime and I craved Chick-fil-a a lot. I didn't get to eat Chick-fil-a much but that's all I craved. Weird, Huh!

Anyway, I didn't lose weight today but I maintained which is good. I know on Monday I'll be up. I just hope I can be 236 by next Friday! Being stuck at 238 is very annoying!
I know Charlie isn't helping and my pipes seem to be stuck, I know TMI, even though I'm getting 35 grams of fiber per day! I'm blaming Charlie!
See you all Monday!

Charlie is here

I know TMI but at least I know that by Monday my weigh in's will be more accurate. I lost another .6 lbs since yesterday.
For the past 2 days I've been walking to the nearest park with my daughter. I'm not sure how far it is but I'm guessing at least a mile round trip. She doesn't walk I push her stroller. As she gets older I'll make her walk part of the distance. She loves playing on the swings and the slides. Plus it gets me out of the house where there are all sorts of temptations and it's burning calories right?
I've now been drinking my cups of tea and I really haven't seen much difference. I guess my monthly could be throwing things off wacky but I thought I would at least feel a difference. But NOPE! The oolong doesn't seem to be doing much and the spearmint just smells awesome! I love the smell of it. It reminds me of my Dad when he tries to quit smoking. He always smells of spearmint. Sometimes I think I might be becoming my mother with all the crazy diet experiments I've been thinking of doing. I remember once my mother drinking a concoction of white wine vinegar and garlic twice a day because it was suppose to burn fat and be good for your heart. YECK!!!!
I'm in a funk today but I think it's the cramps. I really don't feel like doing anything especially work. My boss is driving me insane with all the stupid requests! He's a nice guy but sometimes ...AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
I hope and pay that everyone loses a little more.
