I've been working hard at the weight loss, paying more attention to the foods I'm eating, exercising, saying no to deserts, doing all the things right.
This morning I stepped on the scale, I'm down 5 pounds in 19 days, which doesn't seem great, but I'm also down an inch and some off my waist which is...AWESOME!.
Yesterday I walked out during lunch and hiked around the parking lot. It's built into the side of a hill, so it really is a hike up the one side. Then I went home and ran around the neighborhood with the kids. Then when they went into the house I jumped rope for a few minutes, which was about all I could do, but it was enough to kick my metabolism a little higher.
I feel great. I feel wonderful. I put on Nina Simone's "Feeling Good" this morning and it just keeps looping on the iPod.
"It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me....AND I'M FEELING GOOD!"
A huge hat tip to my buddy Ranzino for giving me the kick in the butt I needed.
You can track my progress at both Traineo and The Daily Plate.
