I don't know why it's hard to post every Friday, but it seems like it slips my mind. Saturday I hit a low in weight and that made me so happy! I weighed in at 252.0. I'm up today but I know why. I'm pmsing and for the next week and a half I won't loose an ounce. It is really frustrating! I've learned in the past two months that that is how my body works, though. Then I'll loose 6-7 lbs the 2 1/2 weeks after my period. I love those few weeks lol. I guess there isn't a thing I can do about the monthly cycle thing. I continue to work out and I do my very best to keep my cravings in check. It's a tough thing though.
I've been trying to switch my workouts up a bit. I'll go to the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now that the weather is warming up I've been doing our loop of 2.5 miles on the other days. The kids are on spring break right now so I took the four youngest ones with me plus the dog. I wasn't able to go as fast, but I really want to get my family involved in getting healthy as well. It was a nice walk. I also signed the boys up for soccer and they start next week the girls didn't want to play. I really want to get the 2 younger girls in dance or gymnastics. I think they'd love it. And that would be great exercise.
Other then that, I'm still just learning how to adjust to this major life change. I've learned that I can't drink anything ice cold. If its been in the fridge, I can't drink it. It can be kinda cool, but room temperature goes down the best. If its too cold, I tighten up so tight that the liquid gets stuck and comes back up. I'm ok with this most of the time. Sometimes I want a really cold drink, or a little milk or something, but I'm learning to deal with it. I have a dr appointment on Monday and I'll bring that up with him. My assumption is this is normal.
