I walked with the kids in a double stroller for one hour today to go to Shop N Save and get bananas, cereal bars, and apples and then come back. I actually found a sort of hilly area, and re-discovered a really hilly area Erik and I used to walk. I think I will save walking on the really hilly area until Erik can go with me and we can take turns pushing the double stroller.
I have not been walking for about a month due to illness (Fifth Disease), and no house AC (I was afraid of getting overheated and puking). I've basically have only been swimming and doing my strength workout once a week. We also had no refrigerator for about 3 weeks, so we ate out A LOT. Bad combo for me, I gained 5 pounds. That 5 lbs WAS the 5 lbs that would have made it 20 lbs I lost this year with extra exercise and trying to eat better, but now it is only 15 lbs that I have lost.
First goal-lose the 5 lbs I gained in July. Second goal-Lose 20 more lbs or get pregnant. 3rd goal-workout 4-5 hours a week until I lose the weight. I also want to keep up that workout level even if I do get pregnant so maybe I will only gain 20 lbs with the next pregnancy instead of the usual 35-40 lbs.
Confession for the day- I had a Snickers bar for breakfast. Maybe I made up for it by having a meatless salad for lunch ;)
