Just some ramblings about my journey to a healthier, more active and smaller version of myself...

Toying with a few ideas...

I haven't been toying with more exercise just yet. I mean, I will be getting some exercise tonight. I'm going to walk to my oldest's school and back, pushing about 100 pounds, in the process. My brake pads are in dyer need of replacement, and I'm not driving that baby until the hubby can get it to the shop this weekend. My guess is that it's about 3-4 miles round trip.

But this isn't about exercise right now. I'm starting to toy with going gluten free. I have been doing this off and on for a week now, and with the exception of a couple middle of the night slip ups, I've been alright. And I feel better. I may need to make the whole family gluten free until I can handle having it in the house without being tempted to eat it. Then again, that's the cool thing about being in control of the grocery shopping and cooking. MUAHAHAHA!

I've been on plan and weighing in... I promise!

Weight loss has been super slow this go 'round. I'm not sure if I'm doing something different that is slowing things down, or if it's inevitable. I'm sure I really need to kick up the exercise.

My last weigh in, I weighed 188.6, so I'm almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I was supposed to weigh in on Tuesday, but I am sans car for the moment (brake job, yay.), so it'll wait until this weekend when I can steal the hubby's car. The good news is that I weighed earlier today, and my scale (which runs close to WW's scale) showed me at 187.4. So, right where I was before I found out I was pregnant.

Maybe this is to help me become a little more humble. Maybe this is to help me develop some real empathy for those who are having a rough go at it, also. Who knows?

I'll be playing around with exercise and food (trying to go gluten-free, at the moment) to see what will help.
