My Week so far

This week was a fairly active one for me. I was able to get out and walk with the dogs most evenings. When we walk, we normally go about 6kms which is fairly decent and it tires them out nicely. I didn't get around to doing yoga as much as I would have liked but I can always work on that next week. There were a couple of times where I tried to get a bit of practice in but events conspired against me.

I was on vacation from work for the past 5 days and the time seemed to fly by. We had a family reunion one day and a visit from my parents another day. The other days were mainly filled with running around to different appointments and so it didn't feel very vacation-y but it was nice to be able to (mostly) get up when I wanted instead of worrying about a work schedule.

My goal is to try to add in a different activity each week, even if I only do it once that week. It's important to switch up what you're doing in order to make sure that you don't get into a rut. This week, that new activity was tennis. My husband and I both bought racquets last year and ended up not using them much. This week, we ended up going out and hitting a ball around a court for about half an hour. It was casual and there was likely not much accuracy with our scoring but it was fun and we did work up a sweat.

I also had a few days where I was less careful about what I ate. I was pleased with how the family reunion went as far as eating is concerned. I didn't pig out and while I was over on my calories a bit it wasn't horrible and my weight mainly stayed on track. Now I'm being careful again and trying to make good choices as far as what I am eating so that I keep feeling good and so that my weight loss continues.

I've lost about 10 pounds so far. Not since the blog started though. I've lost the 10 pounds in about a month and a half which is really, really good and I am happy with the rate at which I am losing. I don't feel overly deprived of food and am still able to enjoy treats now and again.

Here are my stats as of this morning:
Weight: 178.0 lbs
BMI: 24.8
Chest: 40"
Waist: 34.25"
Hips: 40.25"
