Kylah's Journey to a Better Self: 1 week later...

I haven't posted here in a week :-S I went to visit my mom, and I just got back yesterday so I wasn't able to post anything. I've learned a lot about myself in the past week though, as far as my Herbalife routine and such. One bad thing I've learned is that I seriously don't stick to my routine whenever I visit family, or have family visit. Even though I try my hardest, it just doesn't happen like I think it will. I thought I was going to do better visiting my mom, I even took my extra blender with me...all my Herbalife shakes and pills, my workout clothes, the whole sha-bang. I did keep up with taking my pills at least, but I really didn't take my shakes as often as I needed to. I would at least try to have 1 a day, but a few days that didn't even happen.

1 good thing I learned though, is that it is easier for me to make healthier food choices when I don't do my shakes. I can't honestly say that I ate healthy EVERY SINCE MEAL, but for the most part I did. Each meal I still ate half my portion as well, so I never over ate. I also didn't workout every day like I had planned, but I did chase Skyla around a lot. Sunday we went to my Grandparents for a cookout, and they live on an acre and a half of land. Skyla was IN LOVE with all the space to run, and so she did. They also have this barbie jeep, but the battery doesn't work, so I was the battery lol. I would push it for the girls (Skyla, and my 2 nieces) at times I'd be running while doing it. There was a lot of resistance, so I viewed that as a pretty good workout in itself. We also explored a pond across the street so more walking. All in all it made me felt like I had got a pretty good workout session in.

Today, now that I'm home, I was seriously not going to even weigh myself because I didn't want to see how much I had gained over the week. I went ahead and did it anyway.....I hadn't gained anything! I was so surprised! I guess I shouldn't be because I still tried to stay active, and I made healthier choices in food. I'm still at 200 lbs. though. I just reeeeeallly want to get below that mark! I have nowhere to go until May 3rd (Our cruise yaaaaay!) So it's time to stay consistent in my workout and shakes.

Side question.......Does anyone crave certain foods? I swear I always seem to want cheese....like melty cheesy cheese, or I want french fries! I've never craved those things as much as I have since being on my diet lol.

Ok I think that's all I have to update! I just can't wait to get back on track, and see what I can accomplish between now and my cruise time!

Here you go....enjoy some pictures from Sunday :-)
