I am going to call the weekend a complete success! I got out and exercised both yesterday and today. Yesterday we went on a hike! It was so fun, I took my little man and my husband and we had so much fun. It was a crazy hard workout, we had to climb an extremely steep hill and by the time we got to the top I was breathing so hard. I have never gotten that much of a workout at the gym, and it was so much more enjoyable than going no where on a treadmill! Here is a photo of my husband and I on the hike.
That night we went to my in laws to eat and I was extremely hungry! They had my weakness....Taco Pizza..duh duh duhnnn. I did have 2 slices but it was my "cheat meal" for the whole week. The thing is I am not on a diet, I am changing my life. My life needs to be flexible and I refuse to feel limited or like I am being punished or can't take part in eating at family meals. My plan is to make healthy choices every meal possible, and if I feel like having a slice of pizza once I am going to have it but I am going to have the right portion of it and not the whole pizza. Moderation and watching portion size is the key here! I want to be realistic with this and I want this to be a long term thing! I know when I weigh in on Friday I am going to see results. I am proud of my actions and my eating this weekend, even with a little pizza in the mix.
Tonight I went on a walk around our neighborhood and it was the strangest turn of events. I ran into my high school Chemistry teacher (which also happens to be my brothers girlfriends mother), and after I said goodbye to her and turned onto the next street over from mine I had the most beautiful Siamese cat follow me all the way down the street (at least 3 blocks). After I got two houses away from my in laws house (they live on the same block as us) the cat got scared up into a tree by a neighbors dog! So the next 30 minutes of my workout time was spent trying to get the cat out of the tree and find its owner. Out of complete luck or circumstance the owner of the dog that ran the cat into the tree actually had an idea of who the owner might be. She made a call and soon enough the owner of the cat showed up shaken that she had lost her pretty kitty and thankful we took the time to get the cat safely out of the tree and find her owner. I think my good deed for the day was done! In all the years that I have walked my neighborhood I have never had a walk more eventful than that! Now I am going to go have a warm cup of green tea and call it a night. I promise the "cauliflower popcorn" recipe is soon to come! Here is a photo of my friend that followed me tonight-
