Dear James, Daniel and Emily
I can say I am about a quarter of the way to my goal weight, having lost about 11 pounds since the beginning of the year. I can honestly say that I am beginning to really settle into a good groove with the changed eating habits.
I had some challenges this weekend. First, I ended up not running at all. I didn't run Saturday morning because Kim worked an overnight and I wanted to be sure to be home so the kids would not bother her while she tried to sleep. And Sunday I just decided to get the additional day of rest. But that was okay, because I was up and at it today, feeling the advantage of fresh legs.
Second, we had an unexpected visit from some family on Saturday which resulted in a mid afternoon visit to one of our favorite restaurants. Which presented a huge temptation to just blow off the good habits. But I held off, and kept to the good practices that I have been following.
Third, between work and a meeting Kim was basically not home at all on Sunday and I had an afternoon of uninterrupted football watching. But I held firm to the best practices and didn't overindulge, which is my normal habit when I am sitting at home at meal time with nothing to do.
And in the end it all paid off. I am starting to get pretty excited. Of course this week will present some new challenges with 2 planned meals out to watch out for. But I am feeling that the good habits are slowly settling into place.
