Weight Loss Challenge Week 1

Today being Sunday felt like it should be more of a laid back sorta day but after sleeping in and all. I knew if I wanted to lose weight, I would have to get moving and stay motivated. I put on the pedometer and really didn't get motivated as early as I had hoped. I chalked it up to the fact that it is Sunday and with my sleep apnea, maybe I do need to catch up on sleep in order to have the energy to get moving. Anyway, I did manage to get in just over 4,000 steps today, way under my goal of 10,000. Nila and I walked around the track and after twice around had to take time out for the kids as they had to "go potty" and then we came back to finish the last couple times around. I did well with my diet though, on a good note. And there is always tomorrow, right?

The highlight of my walk today was when my 7 year old son, Charlie, decided to yell across the street to his friend Kirby that "we're walking with my mom because she has to lose weight because she is fat". I am sure the whole neighborhood heard that one too. What a great feeling that was! Kids are way to honest at that age!
