So I've learned something about myself in the last couple of days. If I don't work out, I become grumpy. This weekend I had family in town and yesterday's weather was perfect so we headed down to the beach for several hours. After the beach we went out to dinner to our favorite Mexican Restaurant - don't worry, I brought my dinner in my fancy pants thermos. Although I did eat what I should, I only did a 30 minute walk yesterday for exercise which is really light for me. This morning I skipped church since my family was still in town figuring I could go for a walk, bike ride, and/or swim. Well just as everyone was getting ready to leave, it started pouring. Which just made me grumpy because all I wanted to do was be outside and to go for a long walk or bike ride in my neighborhood. You know when you can't have something, you want it that much more? That's how I felt about working out outside today - because it was raining, all I wanted to do was go outside and not get soaked. Well I finally made it outside for two 30 minute walks and a 45 minute swim at the pool. It definitely felt good to move a bit ore today then yesterday.
On a different not, my watch is a smidge loose. My watch fit perfectly at the start of this program, but now it's a smidge loose. Not to the point that it's annoying, but I can just tell its loose. This is the first real sign that I'm noticing (other than the numbers on the scale) that I' beginning to lose weight. I'm already not looking forward to when my clothes get too big because I hate shopping. I like knowing about what size I am, running into the store grabbing just a few things to quickly try on, and getting out of the store. I'm gonna have to for real try stuff on soon. I know that's a great thing in a lot of ways, but I really just don't like clothes shopping. We'll see. But for now, I'm encouraged with the watch getting a bit looser.....
All in.
