Had a great weekend with healthy eating and exercise, in addition to getting in the mood for some Spring cleaning.
My quads were SCREAMING yesterday. I scrubbed, rinsed, waxed and buffed the kitchen floor AFTER already having done my LE and interval cardio sessions at the gym earlier Saturday morning. I had even hit a new PB with the DB Plie squat holding a 65 lb weight on the last set. When in church Sunday morning, I went to stand to pray and let out an involuntary whimper due to the pain...I reminded myself, though, that pain is weakness leaving the body!
I did enjoy my "reward" meal on Saturday night and didn't weigh myself on Sunday morning recognizing that it wouldn't be condusive to my positive attitude of this process! So, weighing this morning and being up a couple of pounds, I reminded myself of the imminent TOTM. I know I did everything right and will be patient with the scales to remind me.
Had DD2 take my end of Week 1 pix to document. Arghhhh....but here they are for all to see!
I am bound and determined to stay the course for this whole adventure. Proof is my DS2 and his fiance invited us for a last-minute dinner yesterday evening. I offered to bring something and they asked for potato salad. Note to self: the first beautiful Spring day in WI will be difficult to find that side dish at the deli...all will be sold out! Anyhoo...I know my son's aversion to any vegetables too. I brought a big veggie platter, a fresh fruit platter and a light dip for the veggies. I ate my grilled burger sans bun and enjoyed it immensely. All were grateful for the "extras" and I knew that I had a healthy dinner that I could count on as progress to my goals. I was reminded of others sharing that part of their success was working around social challenges and not to let "life" detour a person from their course.
So, back at it again and already have buzzed out for a walk during my break at work. I figure these thousands of little decisions will add up to the great success of my reaching my goals...one decision at a time.
Thanks for checking up on me and keeping me accountable and growing!

Margaret, great job in taking healthier food to dinner. I agree that the small steps will add up.
I know you're being brave here by posting your pictures but we change when we push past our comfort zone. This is a big step.

Thanks ladies! It really was a leap of faith to post them, but I want to see the success that others before me have achieved and this seems like part of the process!
Again, thanks for visiting...
