Car Troubles and Rain

So today we went to go get the car looked at again. That tire was still leaking air even though I took it yesterday morning. We thought they fixed it, but when Husband went back out to Uber again the tire was still losing pressure. So we took it back and found out it was leaking around the patch. That means we need a new tire. We can't quite afford it right now so we are going to keep a close eye on it.

It's been pretty rainy this afternoon too which is nice because we need it here in Utah. I did take a nice walk around the entire block and only got slightly winded. So I'm getting better. I got my steps long before my walk though. I am under my calories again today, but I don't feel hungry so I'm not too worried. If I get hungry I can get myself a little snack or something.

My big orange female cat (Michonne) just attacked my phone. She was laying on it when an alarm went off so she freaked out and attacked it until it fell to the floor. Good thing I have a phone case lol. Well that's all for me today.

DVD Workout and Swimming

Today was pretty normal. I went to my mom's and sister's place and did a workout from Walk Away the Pounds. It was a pretty easy workout. I figured they would want something a little more gentle today. Tomorrow will be a rest day, but they are planning on going swimming. We did go swimming today as well after my niece got back from her first day of school.

She's pretty smart so I'm sure she will do well in school. I got my steps in today as well. I have been having some concerns about the amount of weight I have to lose and the extra skin I may have. I hope I don't have much if any, but I am trying to come to terms with the fact that I might have to deal with having at least some extra.

Losing almost 100 pounds is a massive transformation and I know some days are going to be hard. I'm trying really hard today to not let this fear stop me, but it's hard. I'm not going to give up though. I know once I get there I won't regret it. Well that's all tonight.

Happy Day

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.

Super Productive and Feeling Great!!!

So today was pretty productive. I did some laundry (washing all the bedding), did some dishes, worked out, and went on a nice 7 minute walk. It doesn't sound like much, but to my poor untrained body it is. My legs are sore already today. Tomorrow I may just have to do some stretches as my workout.

I did go over my calorie goal by 193, but I'm not too bummed out about that since I'm feeling better already. I can tell it's getting a little easier. Each time I do something I get a little better and my routine is becoming a really great part of my day.

I didn't drink any soda today! So that's amazing! I'm still pretty pumped about all this and I'm learning a lot. I spend an hour or so just reading articles on SparkPeople to learn all that I can about health and weight loss. I'll try to do better tomorrow about my calories. I need more veggies tomorrow instead of the peanuts I ate today. Lesson learned.
