Walking

Okay, it's been a full week now and I've walked everyday except one - Labor day. I've really enjoyed getting outside and doing it and Annagrace LOVES it. I love the fact that I have so much energy the rest of the day. I get more house work, more hairbows, more everything done in one day when I walk first thing in the morning. But, I am getting a little discouraged. It has been a full week and I haven't lost a SINGLE POUND!! I have a goal of getting into my skinny jeans before we go to Idaho in October. I thought it would be a breeze because . . . last Thursday, the first day we went walking, I lost three pounds - just from walking! The next day I lost two! Talk about instant gratification!! But the next morning, all five pounds were back. How does that happen? It's just not fair! This baby weight is not going to get the best of me. Luckily, I have stayed in that state of mind (I'm going to beat it) because gnawing at the back of my mind is this little voice saying it's not worth it, just give up and wear stretch pants, no one cares. But I can't. I went through too much to lose the hundred pounds and get into those skinny jeans before I had a baby, it can't all go to waste. If I could just lose even one pound, heck, I'll even take 1/2 a pound at this point . . . just something to show for this work something to keep me going, keep me inspired!

PS - Annagrace and I would love company to walk with!!
