I'm sure it's clear that I was very unhappy with my Monday weigh in. So, starting yesterday I have made a commitment to exercise at least 20 minutes 5 days a week. I started Zumba. I tried it once before and thought this may be too much, but I have really gotten into it the last couple of days. I did 40 minutes yesterday and 50 minutes today. It is so much fun! It burns a ton of calories and I'm actually looking forward to exercise. I want to be sure not to overdo it but so far I'm feeling great.
On a much less fun note, I also did about 40 minutes of housework yesterday and added squats to the laundry. I have to say, I prefer the Zumba workout, but it all burns calories so at least there's that benefit.
I have way increased my water consumption. Honestly, I hate to drink water. I always say I prefer my water with a little Dr. Pepper in it, lol. But, yesterday I drank all 8 glasses and so far today I am at 4. I have been trying to drink 2 glasses just before I eat. It is really helping me not feel so hungry while eating a smaller portion.
I won't lie. I'm not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but at least I don't feel like I'll never see that light. I feel really good and hope that this is a sign that this is getting easier. I truly am committed not just for me, but also for my kids.
