45 into a new me!!

Yep, 45 day streak logging and tracking. I also hit 20 workouts using the MapMyWalk ap. Kinda fun when you are congratulated for the little things. A very big thing is that yesterday, I found a pair of 14 jeans from Old Navy. They were up in my bin of clothes. Mostly things too small but still in great/new condition. Up there waiting for the day I was small enough to put them back on. Sunday was the day for those jeans. I pulled them up without wiggling my butt around. I buttoned them without doing squats to stretch them out. I sat without the button digging into my waist. And like every woman I never have two of the same pairs that fit exactly the same. I have been in a 18/16 when I started this. Now I feel I am starting to move into 16/14 range(some of my 14s are pretty loose). These are the smallest 14's that I have so it felt good to get them on and feel good walking around in them.

On Sunday I noticed on FB my friend had posted how it was just her and 1 out of her 3 kids, hanging out. So I invited her and little one on my walk. Another mutual friend saw and comment about coming so the 3 of us moms walked about 3 miles together. The time went by fast and it was fun. We are going to try and get together a few times a week. Tonight it will just be two of us walking but still, I am looking forward to it. As long as the weather is decent and not raining.

We grilled yesterday so I was ahead of the game and packed a pretty good lunch for today. If the weather messes up my walk I will have to tread at home. Yuck. I hate that option. The only real issue with being outside now is the damn monster size mosquitoes. Little jerks are nasty.

Update-my walk with my friend was great. The bugs did attack us and her little one so we left the trail and went walking through the town and the different neighborhoods.  It was fun and I still I got my miles in. Of course I was STARVING when I got home. I had some fresh lettuce and chives from my garden that I wanted to use so I made a salad. I measured 4oz of steak, sliced a tomato and tossed in some cheese. Topped with a bit light ranch it was perfect. I had a sweet tooth after that I killed with some yogurt.

Now I could of had a shake but I earned 606 calories from walking so I went for a fuller meal instead. Even after that salad and the yogurt-I have 646 calories left. My goal is 1250, I ate 1419 for the day and earned a total of 815 when you factor in all of my activity of the day. Now I don't count it all-just what I earn on my walks and I only eat 200 of those earned calories.

Now I am going to call it a night.
