day 141 (day 1 / week 21)

Today I woke up early again, but decided to take Logan with me again for another power walk. We went for a 3 mile walk (3.27 miles to be exact) and I finished in a little over 60 minutes. I probably could have finished sooner, but Logan and I were playing through his little "peek a boo" window on his stroller visor, and I stopped to take a picture with my phone, of a house that had been vandalized in the backyard (the only house on the street with a low wall).

My heart rate stayed between 130-142 for an hour, for the most part, so this isn't too bad of a workout :). I'm excited because I am seeing my weight drop (195.6 this morning!!!) and my semi-fat clothes are starting to fit looser :) :) :).

I have finally drilled in my head that "food is for fuel--not friends, fun or feelings." This really helped me to change my eating habits permanently. I guess I just needed to hear it in a certain way, ya know? I can't remember where I read this originally, but I have been trying to make it a mantra since and it's starting to become one.

I am one happy mama! :) :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday! Make it count!

I can do this. I am a star!

  1. You are doing great! Yeah, I've heard people talking about "eating their feelings" and it really does make sense, doesn't it!

    I didn't exercise yesterday but will today I think.

  2. You are so right...Food is simply fuel...anything else is extra and we need to remember that.

    Sad about the house getting vandalized...I don't miss seeing that as often.

    You are a star!
