It was so cold this morning when I walked but it was nice. I had my music playing and for a brief moment in time I was alone in my thoughts and free from all other cares in the world. My morning walks are a great time to think when I am by myself and to share ideas when I am walking with Britt. Either way, once I am out of bed, I really enjoy that time. Thanks in part to the chilly weather I was able to shave 17 minutes off my walk from the first day I made that route! Go me! Each day I feel myself getting a bit stronger. I feel I can increase the walk probably next Monday. I need to map out some new routes before then. I love SparkPeople for that reason. I can play around with the map and see what routes would be best for me.
This morning, I did a lot of thinking as to where I want to be. What goals I want to accomplish on this journey. Christmas always seems like such a rough time for me. Everyone wants lots of photos and I hate that. I hate seeing yet another year of me looking like Shamu. I want this year to be different. I want to be able to feel comfortable in my own skin when that flash of light permanently catches my essence on to film. And speaking of such... I have a goal of family photos this Summer. A friend of mine is going to do our photo shoot and she has been after me to get them done but then we are back to the Shamu thing so this Summer I want to be far enough along my weight loss journey to at least get a family photo. Then when I am at goal weight I can do it again!
I am going to move my weigh day to Saturday this week I think. I work in the nursery on Sunday morning with 3 of my biggest supporters so I am thinking reporting on Saturday instead of Monday will help me. The only problem is I have to use mom's scales. She doesn't mind or anything but I guess at some point I should have my own. I only weigh once a week though. I can't handle the stress of daily weighing. I don't see how mom takes that since your body fluctuates so much from day to day. To each their own I suppose.
Well, back to work. I have been bad about my water intake so I need to get back on that today! Progress one day at a time!
