Simple, Right? Not so Much

We are dieting at my house. As simple as that short little sentence sounds, it has been quite stressful for me. Big has already lost a bit over 5lbs, while I have seen and felt differences in my waist line that have resulted in hardly any pounds lost. How frustrating is that?

I just can't tell you guys how proud I am of my sweetie and I promise I mean it, but it's hard to not see the numbers on the scale shrink when I am passing up fast food everyday. Yesterday, sushi was calling my name and I told it to hush up. I know that fighting cravings for yummy foods is all part of the battle, but I feel like I should be seeing more results. Now, I just looked at the calender and it has only been one week. My theory is that guys just loose faster for some reason. Big runs around all day long at work so there is a possibility that he gets more exercise so I will just keep on trucking.

We have taken up walking our dogs every night around the neighborhood. Last night, little Austin did the best he could to try and keep up with the big boys. It was like he kept looking up at me thinking, "come on Meg let's pick up the pace." Shortly after this, we starting running a bit. Big and Tucker took off in front of us, and as much as I wanted to stay in stride with them, I realized that my walking partner had much shorter legs than the rest of us. He did pretty darn well considering. Both dogs were exhausted when we finally returned home and Big was satisfied. I, however; wanted to get on the elliptical machine and get some extra work-out in due to the lack of decreased pounds. I watched some Netflix and ran while the household slowed down and I thought about how much better I feel. So whether the weight falls off or I have to break my back for every pound, I do feel somewhat better on a daily basis. I suppose this will be a new lifestyle change and a good one I might add.
