And I have taken...15 pictures. Eep! I did not even have a December photo folder until last night, how is that possible?
From Chick-Fil-A after skate Day on the 2nd.
This is one Chan asked me to take, it sent her into fits of giggles |
The sunset from Southerland Station in Huntsville
From here down is from yesterday and our drive:
I feel I need more info! |
This mustachioed man has replaced my sweet baby! |
Drove all the way to Blountsville to the Frosty Freeze to have some fried pickles! |
This is the sulfur and arsenic springs at Blount Springs. Matt and I went here about a year ago, the kids had not seen it and were interested in smelling them. haha!
Last night I hit 800 calories in one go for the second time this week! I was walking 3.3 MPH at 10% incline for an hour, then moved it to 5% and then to 1% and 3 MPH to cool down over the last 15 minutes.
My weight loss has not just been stalled, it's been like gladiator battle. I have lost and gained the same 7 pounds 3 times now. Well, 4 if you count the first time I gained it. So I joined myfitnesspal dot com because I really like the lay-out and they have user-submitted foods, so everything I eat is already in a database, no digging through the trash for the info on a box or running around online trying to find a restaurant item like with fitday.
I have been logging in EVERYTHING I eat, down to the sprinkle of cheese. It shows how many calories and fat grams I can eat in a day and still meet my goal of around 1.5 pounds a week loss. At the end of the day, it adds the food you eat and the exercise you do and says how much you'd weigh in 5 weeks 'if every day were like today'.
I have been at it 4 weeks now, logging daily (almost, I did skip Thanksgiving!) and so far, so good. Even keeping with my plan, I am have not dropped 1.5 pounds a week, though. (grrrr) So, this week, I opted to double my exercise for the whole week, going 4 miles a day on the treadmill. See if that will help...
