Slow Start

This fitness thing sure is NOT easy. I hate to admit it but I'm off to a slow start. I even forgot to update my blog this Thursday! Anyhow here's a quick summary of how my week went.

Last Saturday - Went to my son's classmate's birthday party. I wasn't able to buy my fitness out fit nor exercise but I sure am proud of myself for helping out with the kids in that party. I wasn't able to eat cake and I'm pretty sure I must have lost a few hundred pounds running around with the kids!

Last Sunday - Went out for groceries. Almost stuck to the list. Ended up buying an extra pack of hotdogs and some juice that my husband must have added to the cart when I wasn't looking. Not too bad considering how I usually pack it with lots of processed food. We're on our way to going more organic!

Monday - Nothing interesting. Usual chores. Hectic as most Mondays are.

Tuesday to Thursday - Yay! I was able to walk around the neighborhood with the stroller in tow for 15 or maybe 30 mins (I didn't really time it.) during the afternoons.

Thursday Night- Went out with my high school friends! It was fun but I had to go home early. It was ages since I've gone out without the kids or my husband. I should do it more often. Hubby was really happy to see me all dressed up when I got home. He does looove the idea of me going out!

Today - Up early. The usual. Taking sometime to blog before I finish making dinner! Hopefully I get more fun exercise with hubby and the kids tomorrow during our mini-picnic.

It's funny how within a week I haven't really achieved much in terms of PHYSICAL FITNESS but am feeling really satisfied. This journey, I realize, is really turning out to be more about the emotional part first before the results start showing in my body. Hey! The results at least show on one very specific body part - my face. My cheekbones are more prominent, my eyes are creased, and my lips are upturned. What's that? Oh yes. I'm smiling.
