Weigh-in Day!

Weighing in: When I stepped on the scale this morning, I must admit that I was expecting more of a loss than what I saw.  This has been an AWESOME work out week for me. I have been doing a 30 minute walk/run routine on the treadmill every day (except Sunday) and I FEEL great!  So, considering that our goal is "peace" and not pounds, I am going to embrace the .6 lbs that I lost and be thankful because I feel really good today!

My mini accomplishment: I like setting #3 on our treadmill, it changes incline and pace every 60 seconds.  Normally, there are a couple of settings around 20 minutes where I always need to turn the speed down in order to not pass out.  Yesterday when I ran, I never had to change the settings!  What a great feeling!

My tip for the week: Until my mommy years, my work outs always consisted of being at the gym with other people or playing on a team where we all worked out together.  It has been a much less motivating and enjoyable experience for me to work out at home, alone in the past few years.  So, I tried to figure out a way that I might be able to add in a little "me" time to my workout.  Now, I make a point to treat myself to taking priority on our netflix queue.  I know, this sounds silly.  But I can't tell you how effective this has been!  For 30 minutes, I watch a movie of my choice, that has a true story line and no singing animated characters!  Its amazing!  And I am actually excited to work out so that I can find out what happens next in the movie!  Its a small thing, but its working!
