New Kids on the Block is playing a concert here in July.... and that has nothing to do with my update except that it ties into the title of the post.
I feel like I'm finally getting into a steady rhythm of working out in some form and eating better. It's still baby steps, but I feel like this is a lifestyle change and not a diet or some short-term fix.
Tonight, Jay and I took Bear and Bruiser for a walk around the neighborhood which the dogs and I LOVED. (Jay, however, did it mostly out of obligation but was a pretty good sport.) The dogs never go on walks so this is a huge treat for them, hopefully one that will stick around as it tuckers them out for the rest of the night. (I sit at the computer with Bear laying behind me sound asleep.)
Other days in the past week I've rotated between taking walks with others and working out on the Wii Fit. Since my last update I think yesterday was the only day I haven't excercised at all.
Oh, I almost forgot to talk about my snacks. I found two great, healthy, and filling snacks to help keep my hunger and calories under control.
1. Baby Carrots and Peanut Butter - I was a skeptic at first (sorry Lindsay), but the peanut butter overpowers the carrot to the point where it's wonderful and not weird.
2. Blueberry Bran Muffins - Don't let the "bran" part of the title scare you, they're good, and this is coming from an I-hate-wheat-bread-and-bran-anything type of girl. I'm going to use this as my basic muffin recipie and start adding different types of fruit as they come in season. (Another great reason to start checking out the farmers market for goodies.)
I found myself really excited to go grocery shopping yesterday. It took me almost double the time, but I read labels and picked out responsible choices for snacks, meals, cereal, etc.
My next snack test is Grapenuts and yogurt, to be continued.....
