So today I was pretty excited about my weight. I also measured myself today to check what kind of progress I had made in that area. All those numbers went down. It was a pretty awesome feeling. I tried on some pants today that were too small before. They were 2 sizes smaller than what I was wearing, but I can wear them comfortably! I was so happy to see that. It means I'm getting closer even though it's only been a little bit.
I got my steps and then some. I was actually within my calorie range today and feel pretty good about it. I noticed that when I'm playing Pokemon Go I don't walk as fast. That's not a problem really, but it is at the same time. I'm wanting to get healthy and right now I want to focus on my walking so I'm putting a little pause on Pokemon right now.
Well I'm headed off to finish my water and continue watching the show Husband and I were watching.

Another Satisfying Day
So today was pretty good. I took it pretty easy, but still managed to get in a really great workout for 25 minutes. Ended up burning just over 300 calories there alone. I also connected my Fitbit to my SparkPeople account and it added my steps in and a walk I forgot to log in earlier so I ended up burning another 384 calories right there.
Even as of right now at 10 PM I am still 107 calories below my calorie range for the day. I guess that makes up for going over yesterday lol. I got my steps and I'm about to get the last of my water in then finish my movie and probably go to bed.
I woke up at 630 this morning though. I've been doing that lately with me going to be at about 1030 after I blog. Maybe I'll have to stay up a little later to sleep in a little later. I don't mind getting up so early, but at that time there isn't much for me to do. I guess if I keep getting up that early I'll have to start creating things for me to do lol.
Because I was so far under my goal at dinner time (over 900 calories) I had a soda after so I'll be starting that streak over again, but 3 days isn't a bad start. It's my longest streak yet. I'm excited to weigh in and it's been really hard to not weigh in. I've not measured myself either since SparkPeople says to do that once a month. I'm excited to see what kind of progress I've made.
I do feel better already. I feel like I'm sleeping better and have more energy. If this is what 5 pounds feels like I can only imagine how I'll feel as I keep making better and better decisions. I am also very glad that I've been able to stay motivated this long. Trust me this is an unusual feat for me. I did slack on my chores a bit today so I will have to work double tomorrow, but that's fine I wanted a kind of lazy day.
Well that's all for tonight. I hope you all have a great day tomorrow and that you know you are loved.
Plus a special shout out to my friend Amanda over at Pregnant and Huge for getting started and doing so well on her journey! I totally recommend checking her out.

Sure enough
Sure enough soon after posting last night I found my Fitbit. It was under the couch, but I seem to be having trouble connecting to my phone. That sucks, but I did get my steps yesterday. I play Pokemon Go so that's helping to keep me entertained while I am out there and I'm not just wandering around aimlessly.
I like the eggs. They give me little goals to work towards that I can see clear progress. That helps since I know I won't be able to see progress as fast with my weight loss. When I weighed myself this morning though I was 267.8. So that's pretty great to see a pound loss after working for so short. I've been making changes over the last few weeks so it's good to see some of it paying off.
I bought myself some gum today so that I can chew on that to try and curb other temptations. After talking to the husband he says he is going to help by keeping less sweets around the house. He is excited to have fresh fruit and veggies in the house when we go shopping next. This weekend we have a family reunion up in Idaho. While up there we are going to be at a lake so we are going to kayak and get a paddle boat. We are also planning on going on a nature walk/hike.
So I'm hoping this weekend is a positive one. There will be a lot of food around, but I'm confident in my ability to resist. I've been doing really good with soda even though we have soda in the house all the time. We do have some Coke Zero and Coke Zero Vanilla, but I don't like the aftertaste. Well I'll do an update later.
