I am mom of 2 kids who decided to go back to school. To say I'm busy is an understatement.
Aiming to loose 70lbs and this is my journey.

Time to get back to counting calories consumed and calories burned. Dinner today was yummy. Grilled Chicken Alla Caprese from Red Robin, 660 calories. A good way to start the week.
My chosen method of exercise is walking. I can do it almost anywhere at almost any time. I have heard of walking referred to as the simplest, easiest, least expensive method of exercise. Least expensive does not mean 100% free. There is no charge to go out and walk around. Walking at the local park is free, but walking at local amusement park is not. Therefore, I will agree, walking can be free but not 100% free. Walking requires I wear shoes. Walking across a bare foot is not for me. Soft grass feels nice but most of the time grass feels like tiny sharp points. It may not be as bad as walking across a floor filled with Legos, but I can't walk on grass for an extended period of time. Walking on a typical street sidewalk is doable, but again, I can not do it for an extended period of time. I need padding otherwise my heal starts to hurt. Walking for me requires having a good pair of shoes. Previously I spoke about knowing if is it time for a new sneakers ? My answer was, yes. Ne...
Losing weight, getting fit, running my 1st 5K, ... these are a few of my goals for 2014. I have tried before but have been unsuccessful. I feel I do a good job, for a while, then something happens and I put "my" goals on the back burner. What can I do differently in 2014? Set up smaller goals building up to one the big goals. I want to run my first 5K. Well, I need to get up off my butt and start walking, a mile, 2 miles, 3 miles, and keep decreasing the time it takes me to travel the 5miles. Yes, I am aiming to be able to run 5 miles so that when I run the 5K (3.3miles) I'm already building up toward another goal (running a half marathon). I also am aiming to run my first 5K by March, April at the latest. *sigh* I hope I am not being over zealous. By the way, I have heard of Couch to 5K and I do plan on using it. I use the LoseIt app to track my caloric intake. So far in 2015, I have logged everyday. While 5 days does not seem like a long time, it has been a challeng...
Today I did a better job than yesterday, but not by much. Overall it is a step in the right direction. Here is the break down: + Logged all my calories using LoseIt + Consumed less calories. - Was over my daily caloric budget. + Consumed healthier food. - Had too much food. + Drank more fluids. - Had 2 glasses of diet soda. + Did some physical labor - Should have walked more, tracked by FitBit Here are some snapshots from my lunch today. The food at the Soupplantation was yummy. I would h ave had a third plate, but did not want to go further over budget than yesterday. Here is a glimpse at my physical labor. I swept a drive way and collected a can full of leaves and twigs. Getting into the gym to workout is not really an option for me, so I find ways like this to workout.
