Fruits and Veggies

So I'm on week three of my one sweet day a week and so far I've done o.k, not great, but o.k.  My second week I fell off the horse a little and had some sweets here and there throughout the week, but that made me come up with a plan to keep me going.


Every time I get a craving for something sweet I've decided to have a fruit or vegetable snack in its place.  I figure my body is probably really craving that anyway, but it is my taste buds that are craving the goodies.  If I still want something sweet after that I'll have a piece of gum.


I have been successful so far and I'm so proud of myself. I've had 2 really good weeks of being off sweets, not entirely in a row, but I'm working on that.


I've also been really good at working out every day.  Right now the easiest work out for me to accomplish each day is going for a walk with the kids.  I have made it to 4 blocks a day, which comes out to about an hour walk each day.  I am still working on adding more to my walk each day and it is going great.  I am loving getting out of the house and enjoying the sunshine, the newly blossoming trees, the flowers, the light breeze, the fresh air, etc.  It is a great way to burn calories and spend the time in my day.  I love it.


I don't have a scale, otherwise I'd tell you if I've lost any weight yet.  I do feel great though, and I do think that I have lost some inches.  Hooray!
