GREAT DAY

I did about 6 hrs of yard work today. We ripped up grass and put in a new mailbox. Then we walked as a family for a mile. I really like working out with my family. I feel like I am setting a good example or everyone. Today was a great day.

B COMPLEX VITAMINS

I went today and got B complex vitamins. I took it about noon and I haven't been overly tired all day. I hope this is a good sign. I had several people tell me to try this so hopefully it will be the cure to my extreme tiredness.

REAL RUNNING SHOES

I went to a real "running shoe" store. I got a really nice pair of running shoes. They better be nice...I have never paid so much for shoes EVER. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I did stay under $100. It took me about an hour to pick them out. I do have to say the lady at "Runner's Corner" was great! She was so patient and spent a lot of time with me. I did go to 26.2 (yes that is the name of the store) first, but I learned that they do not carry WIDE shoes. I am actually real glad that I ended up where I did.
Now lets just hope that it makes a difference. If only it could give me more endurance. LOL
I also did much better on eating better today. I have not gone over my points, but it is about killing me just sitting in this house.

GAIN OF 3.6

This week I weighed 335.8. I gained 3.6 lbs this week. So I realized when I stepped on the scale today that I have to get my crap together. I refuse to go back! I started counting my points again today. I did really good. I have to admit I wanted to eat candy, but I did not give in.
I love Dave Ramsey. I learn so much listening to his show. I feel like I am getting smarter and smarter each time.

SUMMER PLANS

I haven't written for a couple of days because I am trying to recover from an ear infection. I just haven't felt great. I have still been doing my workouts. I am maintaining my weight, but I know that isn't enough. I have gotten in the habit of buying junk food. I need to remember that just because it is a "good deal" doesn't mean it is a good deal for me!
I was thinking that I need to make sure and put any extra $$$ on my bills. I need to watch what I am spending my $$$ on. I need to not be eating out.
I also need to make a plan of how I am going to handle summer and having everyone home. In this I mean... me doing my workout. I need to make a plan and stay on top of my workouts. I am going to plan on just continuing my normal workout time. I can drag everyone along with me. Each morning I will still be at the gym. Each night I plan to walk around the neighborhood.

PASSING EVANSTON, WY

I passed Evanston, WY yesterday in my trip. I can't believe I am almost out of Wyoming. I got a great workout in yesterday and then I got to go hike up in the mountains. I ate really well and I am pretty much proud of my choices for yesterday.
Oh by the way, I weighted 232.2 this week. A bit of a gain, but not even a pound so I am not really too concerned.

ONE DAY AT A TIME

I didn't eat a lot of junk today. This is step #1. Today is an "one day at a time" kind of day.
