Well, for my first week, I think I’m doing ok…
On Monday, Tuesday and Friday, I walked along with my Walk the Walk DVD, 1 mile workout. I may try to get up to the 2 mile, but I only had time this week for the 1 mile. Leslie Sansone’s constant chatter has begun to annoy me, and the steps are easy enough to follow without the audio, that I’ve started collecting some workshop CDs that I’ve wanted to listen to but hadn’t taken the time. Today I began the organization workshop by Jennifer Neff from Graceworks Planners. My kids enjoy walking with me, at least for part of the time. Today they asked me to put in Mathletics when I was done. They did some of that while I showered and got ready for the day.
I didn’t plan to do any exercise on Wednesday because Nate was participating in our local home school spelling bee, and we were hosting our weekly Bible study—30 people coming, three pots of soup to make along with cleaning house and beginning the process rearranging the kids’ rooms now that the bunk beds are up. My workout that day consisted of carrying lightweight items up and down the basement stairs. I feel great and even had someone tell me at the spelling bee that I didn’t even look pregnant. While I appreciate the compliment, I know that was spoken in love, but not entirely in truth! However, I can still see my hips and I don’t look too pregnant from behind, so I’m ok with that.
I’m not sure how I’m doing with the water. I need to use our hiking water bottle so I can track how much I’m drinking. If I’m not up to 8 glasses, I’m close. Snacks are harder, but I’m doing better. The easiest is still toast, but at least its whole wheat.
Because I’ve committed to completing my daily Bible reading and prayer before I workout, I’ve also been keeping up with that. Double benefit.
