Sorry for the delay in posts. That goal of mine to blog more often hasn't worked out too well. As with most people, life has been pretty busy.
Matt and I have been applying to jobs like mad men, as well as taking more foster care classes, to prepare for our re-certification coming up in November. We have also been making adjustments to the way we live and who we spend time with. Matt started a new job in Aug and I started a new on in Sept. Sadly they are both part time, but mine pays pretty well, as I get the same per paycheck that I did when work 40hrs at the bank compared to the 25hrs a week now.
Here is my update regarding my lifestyle.
I started this new lifestyle a bit on the lazy side, as I don't always do the exercises every day, more like 3 times a week verses 5. I started paying more attention to what I was eating and how I made my food. I started eating more salads and juicing daily verses once or twice a week. At the beginning of Aug, I was 193 lbs. At the end Aug I was 187 lbs. At middle of Sept I was 181 lbs. NOW I am 177 lbs.
I can't say that isn't progress over the course of 9 weeks.
It helps that I am exercising more regularly now in the mornings since I get up at 7am without thinking since I used to get up between 5:30 and 6am previously, but now I make my mornings more productive.
I look forward to breaking the 177 weight as the weeks go on.
I will say one thing that may or may not be affecting my loss of weight, but I don't always eat the food I should. I occasionally have a glass of wine or go out to dinner with friends. But I do think about it differently.
I ordered a side of asparagus a side of sweet potato fries, no sugar and a small salad as a meal for $10. I was satisfied and happy with my meal as I didn't stray too far from what I should eat and with how reasonably priced it was.
Lastly, I have been trying a new thing for the past 2 weeks and will see how it works. I will tell you all more about it once I determine the results.
