well, things have been going okay i would say. I was pretty proud of myself today for having grapes with my wrap instead of chips. I'm a junk food junkie...what can i say. I really want to incorporate more fruit into my diet. I'm great with vegetables because i LOVE them and because i grew up having a vegetable at almost every evening meal. But even though i really like fruit, it's not always convenient as say...a bag of chips because you have to clean and cut it all up and it doesn't stay fresh that long. So, i need to be better at eating more fruit.
Other than that, i've been doing well at not eating after 6pm and drinking only water. Of course, exercise is still a struggle...forcing myself to do it. I think i got in about 85 minutes (over the course of 4 days) last week using my tape (that's warm up, work out and cool down) and then Tom and i worked at our church cleaning windows from 9am till almost noon. So, i think i did pretty well getting in that exercise. Today is absolutely beautiful and i'm looking forward to doing some yard work today instead of my tape. It'll be great to be outside!!!
Hope everyone else is doing well and keeping motivated.

sounds like you're doing great Amanda! I know, I like doing stuff outside instead of a workout video. I just checked out this really hard pilates tape for my abs and so far I've only done it once. yesterday I did gardening and walked with chloe twice. my calves are feeling it today from my gardening!
Glad you're doing well. Isn't the warm weather so encouraging for getting outside and getting moving? I know what you mean about liking convenient, easy snacks. It's takes a little while for your body to adjust to not having chips and junk food regularly. I don't have junk food too often, but when I do, I usually end up eating way too much.
Yes, the weather was wonderful yesterday and i sure do feel the affects of raking today! It was definitely good exercise.
I agree katie that once you start in on the junk food it is addicting. For me it's always been about chips and salty snacks since i'm allergic to chocolate and dairy. In a way i think that that allery has been good for me. I'd hate to think of how big i'd be if i could eat all that chocolate.
Well, thanks guys for the encouragement and accoutability. It's great to be able to talk about all of this stuff that we face.
