Exhausted
Yesterday evening, I had my first appointment with my new therapist. I really liked her. Within the first session she brought out of me that one of my main problems is being able to express my feelings (anger for the most part).
I definitely told her I held alot inside and I "ate" my feelings.
Yesterday, I was sad to see the scale went up again to 261.0.
Its the late night snack "cravings" I have... they all tend to be sugary or high carb :( Thats what ruins my number on the scale. I know this is about learning to be healthy, not just working on the number on the scale, but that number, when it drops, it gives me more motivation and inspiration to keep going.
At work I walked at lunch Monday, skipped Tuesday, and I walked again today. I hate sweating so profusely in front of strangers (and while in uncomfortable business casual clothing). I'm just trying to keep my head up and not care what other people might see, this is about me and my health and how healthy I will be after walking.
My 3yo seems like he's getting worse with tantrums, defiance, not wanting to do what we ask him. We all went for a walk this afternoon and he threw a tantrum on the walking path behind our neighborhood, I'm sure the whole neighborhood could hear him. We were heading home and he wanted to go the opposite direction. Its so hard to go for a decent walk with the boys. At least I got an extra walk in today along with the mile at lunchtime.
I ate pretty decently today, didn't really eat anything "bad" for me, no real treats or anything. Hopefully that will give the scale a little nudge downward.

This weekend, I am hoping I can buy Jillian Michael's 30day Shred. I keep hearing how great it is, I see really good reviews for it also. I just need something different and inside while its getting too hot outside. I really would like to incorporate weights into my exercise also.
Jillian Michaels
Have I mentioned how much I'm crushing on Benedict Cumberbatch right now?!
The ice cream is still in the freezer :( I hate that I am constantly aware of this.

A 3 year old & a birthday party
Woke up today the same way I did yesterday. Heard something outside the room, looked up and Ben was standing at the doorway saying "Hi"
I did my usual first-thing-in-the-morning weigh in...was surprised to see another 1.5lb drop!
I didn't eat enough calories yesterday, I wasn't doing it on purpose, but I well made up for it today and then some :( But I also did alot of exercising & sweating today too.
Today, we prepared the house for Benjamin's 3rd birthday party.
Ben of course was not especially cooperative today, maybe we shouldn't have told him over and over we were having a party for him.
I was able to mow the front lawn in order to burn some calories
Sadly, we had pizza/cake/ice cream for birthday lunch. I told myself I was only going to eat 2 slices of pizza. And I did at lunch. But after everyone left and the boys went down for a nap, and theres still slices of pizza sitting on the counter... :( I ended up eating 6slices all together. Thankfully it was thin crust, but still. Bad bad bad. So hard to break bad habits.
Maybe if I can incorporate enough good habits, the bad ones will eventually drop off.
After I ate the 4 extra slices in shame, I got inspiration since the boys were still taking a nap.
I told Shane I was going for a walk. I recently downloaded the app Nike +, its basically a running app (I of course do not run). I've been using it when I walk during lunch at work to try to make it to one mile. So I turned up my headphones with my exercise playlist and went off for a walk through the neighborhood. I walked for almost 30min and almost 1 1/2 miles.
When I got home, poor Shane was cleaning up a "dirty" mess in the boys room. At least it wasn't on the walls this time!
I hope the lawnmowing & walk will keep me from gaining from my bad eating today. If it doesn't, I have my healthy lunch & breakfasts prepared for tomorrow and I plan to do my mile at lunchtime. I will keep going!

Inspired
I'm feeling more inspired today. Started listening to a podcast called Half Size Me (thank you Kristine for recommending!)
It is so inspirational to hear from other women like me needing to lose as much as I need to lose.
I'm thinking I might finally have a better loss tomorrow morning, but I won't get discouraged if I don't.
