Whew...I did no workouts on Friday, but I was moving around more, I went to a job interview, and did some shopping, so although it was not real exercise, at least it wasn't sitting in a chair.
My mom hasn't seemed very supportive of my efforts, and I understand why after talking to her, she really does not understand how numbers can be motovating to anyone, I had to explain that to me, watching calorie numbers go down, weight go down, calories burned go up, is exsilirating to me.  She did have a point that I don't exercise enough, and that stopping at one little 15 minuit exercise is not going to be enough and that I should try to do more, I get it and she is right, if I feel up to it, I need to do more.
Although I am not going on a diet presay, I am trying to watch what I put in my mouth and being honest with myself about what I am eating, as well as trying to  listen to my body.  If I feel sated, why eat more, do I NEED three peices of bacon, or will two satisfy? I don't want to stop eating the foods l like.  I know that is something I would NEVER be able to stick to, I just want to get used to not eating as much of it as my tastebuds would like, but my stomach says is plenty.
All and all I am proud of how I am doing, and want to keep it up, because I really do want to get down to a healthy weight, and besides the clothes are so much cuter!
