Not Too Bad

Monday and Tuesday this week didn't go terribly. I know I could've made healthier decisions, but the ones I made, weren't too bad. I worked with my sister, Jennifer, to plan my other sister, Stephanie's, baby shower. I think we made a lot of progress. Stephanie and her husband came over later to watch Mariah for me while I went to Total Praise and Worship at church. It was a pretty good day, but I didn't get a workout in.
Yesterday (Tuesday), I thought went very well. I was fairly careful with my food, and I was able to get a good workout in! I'm still not strictly counting every calorie, but according to my approximations, I came in right in my healthy calorie intake range. Jon and I did some shopping, and we went to the drive-in last night. It was a really good day, and Mariah started crawling so that made it better!

So, this is where I'm at. It's pretty embarrassing to say, but even on some of my bad days you see on here, I've come leaps and bounds on my food choices and portion control. I feel really good to know that I'm really trying to better myself and take care of this body God has given me. I'm not only losing weight, but it comes with other rewards like more energy clearer thinking, and more ambition. I hope you'll keep checking in on me, and that you'll be encouraged by watching my journey.
