I have this picture on my fridge, so I can be reminded to be mindful of what I eat.
Another pic I have on my fridge is me near my goal weight about 2 years ago. This was when I graduated nursing school. I would love to be this weight again (163) and maybe a little bit more toned.
I went to a consignment store today and looked around for some shoes. I found practically brand new athletic shoes, which I really needed for walking and step aerobics. They were only 10 bucks. I also saw a beautiful skirt that I really wanted, but it was a size 12 and I may have actually fit it, but I thought that I didn’t need one more item of clothing that I couldn’t wear, so I didn’t get it. Right before the consignment store trip, baby and I took about 30 minute walk. I really like walking, the baby stays calm and I get in some thinking time. Tonight I also did 15 minutes of Y!F focusing on core strength (ouch, crunches 
)
“Do I look fat??”
No, I didn’t say it exactly like that. I said “I’ve lost 18 pounds so far, can you tell?” He was quiet for a long time and then said “Congratulations” After a roundabout conversation, he pretty much admitted that he couldn’t tell. My husband has always been painfully honest sometimes and this is one of those times. I did ask after all. And who am I to be mad at him since I myself said how I looked the same in my progress pictures. I just need someone who will lie to me and make me feel better lol. I wonder if there are people you can hire to do that. Here’s to making people notice my weight loss!
Yesterday, I ended eating pretty well, mostly fruits. My walk ended up being 30 minutes, would’ve been longer, but it was scorching hot, even though we were mostly walking in the shade.
Today, I will probably take another walk with the baby and the come home, clean the house a bit, and when baby takes his nap, I will do Y!F for 30 minutes. Here’s today’s menu:
B: hearty rice w/ fruit
S: fruit
L: Roast beef sandwhich, topped with veggies
S: fruit or veggie
D: baked talapia w/sauteed veggies
