A small set back
Glad to be walking and moving. Sadly I suffered a set back after my five miles on Monday. I wore a new pair of skorts and chaffed my legs something terrible. To the point I can't wear regular pants :(. So I won't be walking tomorrow. I hope that by Thursday I'm all better and can get out there again but worst case I will go Friday morning to end the week on a good note. I'm also determined not to let this set me on a bad course. I will keep trucking along. I also found a 20 min kettlebell routine in my Oxygen magazine I'm going to try starting next week after I ride my bike. I'm at least getting the emotional benefits of walking which is wonderful.

Walking
I started walking this week. It has been great to get moving. I leave at about 610 in the morning and I walk 5 miles with my neighbor ladies. They go everyday and I am only going 3 days a week but its a start. I knew my legs wouldn't handle everyday at 5 miles. I hope to start adding a little running here and there to get that going too. I'm really glad to be moving again. Next week I will add more exercise and hopefully my bike into the routine. Each week I will add a little more to get me back into the routine of working out and being active. Now that we have started our farm it's probably a good idea to take some time and just unwind. Plus I enjoy the quiet time.

Every 6 months
Every April and every October we have weigh-ins with the Coast Guard. And every 6 months I stress and worry and barely make weight. 17 years of this is just to much, today I missed it by 2 pounds. Now before April 11th I have to lose those 2 pounds or be on the fat girl program. Can I do it? Maybe....
But ultimately I'm tired of stressing about my weight every 6 months. I need to dig deep and get my fat but moving. I need to be at a point that I can walk in, get weighed and go home without having to skip dinner and breakfast the night before. I want to just be healthy and at least 10 below my max allowed.
So what am I going to do about it....?
I'm going to get moving. I'm going to stop making excuses. I'm going to start tomorrow :) (its already 945pm) and I am not going to stop until I am happy with how I feel. I will do yoga type stuff for the next 10 days until I get home and have all my regular workout stuff. Then I'm going to clean up the jogging stroller and get moving. Run/walk at least 3 times a week. Get on my bike 2-3 times a week. And find a weight routine I can do at home to do 5 days a week. I know that I can do this. Working out is only half the problem though. My food is terrible. Sure I know all the right ways to eat. I know clean eating will get me there. So why can't I overcome it...? Because it's an addiction. Because I love sugar and bread. So I am going to start slow. Until April 12th I am in a hotel, what can I cut from my foods between now and then? Sugar, that is a good one to cut. Caffeine could go as well. I think sugar, sweet treats will go. No more candy or soda. I will have to find a caffeine substitute so I can keep the headaches away since I can only handle so much at once. After that I will set another goal. I will just set little mini goals and keep moving forward. I will take Sunday off from working out and allow a small cheat (not candy or soda). I anticipate cutting breads again because I know I feel better when I eat more clean/paleo friendly. It's hard but I feel so much better. I will have one night a week that I allow bread either pizza or sandwich or rolls. But that will be when I am home and can cook my own foods. I was 162 today for work. I don't ever want to see that number again.
