I had a pretty good week last week. Well, it was better than just pretty good. It was pretty awesome. I actually lost 5 lbs last week! I could not believe it when I got on the scale this morning. I am now happy to say I am at 218.5 lbs.

I got to thinking about my week last week. What did I do differently? Hmmm..After much thought, I figured out that I moved a lot more last week! While it wasn’t your typical exercise routine, it was a lot more moving than what I had been doing. I played basketball at the park a couple of times last week for about 30 minutes each. I also jumped rope on one of those days as well. I also walked a little more than what I had been doing.

I am still keeping my calories intake in between 1500-1600 calories. I do not like to go over 1700 if at all possible. I also try to get my fat grams down as well as my carbs. I try to eat a lot of good protein to help me keep my energy up during the day time.

My goals for this week are about the same. Keeping up with my calories as well as trying to add in more exercise. I can’t forget to drink my water either!

While I may not have another big week like this past week, I am looking forward to having an awesome week! Love getting back to a healthier lifestyle! 🙂

Every year, since we have been in this house, we have tried to grow some veggies during the summer time. In the past, it has mostly just been tomatoes. Last year, we even added some cucumbers, rosmary, oregano and thyme. This year, we have added even more veggies to the mix. We have tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, squash, brussel sprouts, onions and peppers. We are quite excited about what has come up so far since we started most by seeds. looking forward to getting the veggies in the ground!

Now that Spring is here, we are taking full advantage of the beautiful days that we have been having. We have been to the park twice this week and plan on going back on Friday to meet some more friends. The kids have been having a blast. They can swing, dig in the sand and play ball with their friends. We usually stay for a couple of hours. By the time we make it home, we are all very tired and ready for a good rest. Definitely loving the beautiful weather that God has blessed us with!!
