Victoria Ave

Today my friend and I walked Victoria Ave with the kiddos and I must say I was reminded why I love Riverside. It was such a beautiful walk! My muscles also hurt from it, so it feels great to know that I got a good workout! Yea!

My Scale is Stuck

I weighed myself yesterday (Fridays are my weigh-in days) and I am still at 175. I know its not those Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches because I haven't had any in a while! :) I was told, however, by a friend of mine who has used my scale that the scale lies. She said the scale at the gym weighs her at less. At this point, I would love to think that my scale is lying.

On a positive note, I got out and walked a couple of times with a friend this week. It was good exercise and fellowship. We are going to get together twice this coming week too. I also walked once alone. Counting from last Saturday, I walked a total of 4 times this week! Yea! Today I'm going to buy a DVD called Fabulously Fit Moms and its basically a DVD for exercising with the baby. So we will see how that works out!

Three things...

First, Troy and I walked up Mt. Rubidoux on Saturday with Jackson in the Stroller (which is quite challenging on the way down). I would like to do that more often.

Second, I haven't lost any weight this past week. Booooo. Oh-well...I must persevere!

Third, Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches are the most AMAZING things!!! They are only 1.5 grams of fat, 140 calories and they have 3 grams of fiber! I don't know how they make 'em taste so good! I'm afraid its too good to be true...you know, like the non-fat frozen yogurt in that episode of Seinfeld? Hmmm...maybe that's why I didn't loose weight! :)

Update

It looks like I will be getting to exercise with someone (walking outside w/ the stroller) a couple times during the week, and a few girls on Saturdays, so I am very excited! The rest of the days, I will try my best to do some Tae Bo. I tried to do Tae Bo yesterday, but 13 minutes and 10 seconds into it, Jackson decided he had enough of watching his mommy punch and kick the air! I weighed myself yesterday and there is good news and bad news. I gained two pounds in Florida, but lost one pound within this week. So, I'm on my way to that goal weight of 135lbs! I just have to keep pressing on!

Exercise Accountability

I must say that it is sooo hard to find time to exercise with the baby! That is no excuse, though! I recently signed up with a great website called Babyfit.com that allows me to record everything I eat and it calculates all the nutrients for you. It also allows me to record my exercise. I've also sent out an email asking for girls to join me in the effort to exercise. Its good to have someone to do it with! I need accountability!

Exercise: A Priority and a Privilege

I got to exercise for a full thirty minutes today! I know that doesn't sound like much, but for a new mom, its a great start! Its a wonderful privilege just to do that much! Jackson went down for a nap this morning, so I hopped on the elliptical for 16 minutes and then he woke up crying. I had my heart rate up, so I wasn't going to stop there. I held him while marching around the house for 14 more minutes! You gotta do what you gotta do! Troy and I plan to take a walk up Mt. Rubidoux on Saturday. I want to do that on a regular basis!
