This is going to be a quick post as I have lots to do to get ready for my trip on Thursday. But, I like Alicia have good news and bad news. The good news is that Stephen and I went jogging/walking for three miles yesterday. Even when we walked, my stride is half the length of his, so I was walking vvvery briskly. I praise the Lord for a husband who pushes me when I need it and encourages me when I need it. We were supposed to go again today, but we had too much going on. I went shopping and ran errands, and honestly sometimes I feel like that's a workout hulling Esther in and out of the stores, holding her in some stores, and then walking briskly to get done quickly before she gets fussy! I think we'll resume tomorrow. We have been doing well with exercise, and I've been doing well with my food choices for the most part, but the bad news is I'm not seeing a significant decrease in weight. Maybe I'm 'gaining muscle', as they say. Oh well, at least I can feel a difference in my body and am feeling healthier - for whatever that's worth!

As Chris tells me every day, don't worry about the weight. Ironically, every time I lighten up on the exercise for a few days, I drop more weight! I do think muscle plays a factor. So, as my dear old husband says, judge your success on consistency, not your weight!
I agree, don't worry about the weight. Are you seeing a difference in the way your clothes fit or in how you feel? I have noticed that my energy level really increased when I jogged regularly.
Toting Esther around totally counts as exercise! Oh my, my arm and back muscles are at their peak right now. Chloe weighs 25 lbs. so I have lots of opportunity to for weight lifting. :)
Great job on the jogging with Steven! I think I would be intimidated exercising with your hubby since he's such a good runner. Keep it up!
