Coming out of a tough emotional week.

Yes, my week was extremely tough.  It probably had a lot to do with me getting on the scale and nothing budging on the weight at all.  I have decided a few things after that...no getting on the scale for a while and amping up my workout with some weight/strength training.  I am somewhat limited in this with my travel schedule for the next two weeks, but I hope that the Tony Horton video that uses the band will help with that.  I obviously need to get my heart rate pumping a bit longer with a variety of things.  Any suggestions from the peanut gallery would be great too!  

I had a few tough days at work that probably had something to do with my mental state too, but having a few days off here and there have brought me back to normal.  I also have sought out some herbal solutions thanks to my friends at the local Whole Foods.  

Today I had a good walk.  I didn't push myself to keep my 2.5 mile in 30 minutes, but pushed to get a well-walked workout in.  I have been reading up on the few techniques helpful in walking and I worked on that today to improve the overall feel of everything.  In the long run I was wiped out!  Plus, I got to enjoy the beauty of the Reynolda roses after my walk and it was all worth it.  If you get a chance, all of you should come see the gardens sometime this Spring/Summer!

I had a healthy meal tonight and nothing on the bad carbohydrate scale!

Okay, so I am writing it down, so I am going to do my best to do it...my goal for this week is to minimize my bad carb input.  I hope I can stick to this, without making myself crazy...oh how I love that bread...thank you Mom!  I will keep you all posted on the goal this week, and of course the walking!
