I need to remember

Today was weigh-in day. Blah. I have not been able to make it to my sat meeting for the last 2 weeks. This did not help me at all. I gained. I only gained .6lbs. But it sucks. I thought I had been doing an ok job.
I need to remember that just joined WW does not mean I will lose weight. I need to work for it. I need to change habits. I need to do things. I need to make better choices. I need to track my food. I find my self figuring out points for a meal or an item but not counting it with the other things I have been eating. I need to get it out of my head that just because I pay to be part of WW that does not automatically mean I will lose weight. I need to work for it…I deserve it!

Raspberry Cobbler

The flavor of the day at Culvers is just plain mean. At least it is to me when it is a cobbler flavor. My favorite. Peach cobbler is my favorite. But tonight I had to hit the grocery store and I am very happy to report that I did not stop and get any raspberry cobbler. Maybe I will stop when they have peach cobbler

3.79 miles

We bought our ‘new to us’ bikes a few weeks ago. We also needed helmets to go along with these lovely bikes. We finally made it to REI and got a great deal on GRIO helmets for all of us. But it was still a few days after that when I finally made it out on my first ride. Now I was not sure how long I would be able to go. It has been a very long time since I have gone on a bike ride. I figure it must have been about 5 years. Ouch. My sister and I headed out on our ride. I honestly was ready to turn around after leaving the development. But I could not do that with my sister with. I had to keep going… I figured we would maybe go a mile or 2. But we actually made it 3.79miles. I could not believe it. I was so excited. And we were only gone about a half hour. Thought I was going to die when we were about done but really I think I could have gone farther. Next time….

March for Babies.

This last weekend I helped out at the March of Dimes Walk America March of Babies. Not sure when the name changed….but really it makes more sense. I worked for the March of Dimes when I first moved to Madison. We had a fabulous office…it was really the best working environment ever. After we all left there was a new regime that took over. No fun to help…no fun to work with. Well I just found out that one of my old volunteers is now the director. Which is great because now we all want to come back to help.

I arrived at 6am on the Capital Square. I was SO excited…I was going to bring my bike along and go for a ride after I was done helping. But, go figure, I could not get my tire off at 530am and I was too tired to deal with it. That ride will have to happen another time.

The walk went great. It was very nicely organized and had great weather. It was so heartwarming to hear the stories of the babies born too soon and that have survived. It was also difficult to hear the stories of the babies that did not make it.

My husband and I are trying to get pregnant right now. It is nice to know there are groups like the March of Dimes out there to make sure that every baby is born healthy. I am just trying to get myself a little healthier before we get pregnant.
