spring break

I had a good spring break. I was able to get outside of my normal routine, which was boring, monotonous, and unhealthy. Now, I have already been trying to buy healthier foods, as most of you know. That helps, but you have to get there first, I'm still not there, but am working towards it quickly. We have added a lot of fish to our diet and have also begun to eat fresh or frozen vegetables more often than canned. Our portion sizes have decreased considerably over the past few months as have our $$ spent eating out. The much lesser, but still measurable decrease has been waist size. I am into a size smaller jeans than on January 1. I'm not satisfied.

The other side of the battle is exercise and healthy activity levels throughout the day. This is where we fail most. As I stated before, this week was unusual. On St. Patty's day, I went out to Seth and Kim's on a whim [they weren't there=.( ] and rode 4wheelers for 3-4 hours with Roxy, Tommy and Drew. I was so sore. I was also bruised on my face(still am).

Between that and watching Ta'lea and Sydney the next day, I got quite a workout. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I stayed active enough, but didn't put out any real effort to go do anything. Saturday afternoon, Ashley came down. Us girls decided to got to Leslies and walk. We walked 2 miles, the first of which we walked 1min, ran 1min. It was so hard. Finally I had to beg out on her and we walked the rest of the way. About two hours later, we wound up playing tennis and did so again the following night.
