i babysat my nephew today and of course he's at that age where he is really naughty! i had to keep him happy by putting him on a toy truck and pushing him around in the basement. i think i got a better workout from doing that then being on the elliptical. he pretty much is a workout in itself because he won't let you stop or else he'll start crying. i love it when he comes over! =)
went for a jog with a friend of mine at the lake. we're both trying to lose weight and i was telling her about the website but she seems uninterested. she sort of lost a lot of weight in the past few years without anyone's support. she likes to do things on her own. she's at a plateau but she's not ready for running yet because she has bad knees. anyone with a bad knee have any comments or suggestions for her?
as far as eating goes, my family grows all our veggies in the backyard and my parents buy an actual pig from a farm. it may sound weird to ya'll but they go to the farm, purchase a pig, and clean & chop it all up before they come home. we have two freezers besides the fridge and we live on it for about 6 months. i've noticed that my family eats a lot less in the past few years that i've been away at school. we eat the same thing everyday for long periods of time until we run out of the meat and winter rolls around when snow falls and veggies are frozen. i would say it's pretty healthy except for all the red meat. we also have rice with every meal so i guess that's not the best for someone trying to lose weight but it's what i'm used to. my siblings EAT everything so i'm not able to buy anything and have it last very long. i bought lettuce to make a salad and never got a bite because it was all gone before i even opened the fridge again lol. i've been pretty good with drinking lots of water but i haven't been losing any weight the past 2-3 days. i admit, i weigh myself every morning because it helps me work harder if i know that i gained. it's my method but i know weight can fluctuate so i'm not going to cry if i gained a couple
pounds, it'll probably go back down in a few days.
bad thing is that it's my 2 sister's birthdays in the next 2 days and i'm baking them a cake and we're having a luau barbeque. i hope i don't eat much because it'll be pure sugar and pork ribs with bbq sauce! ahhhhhhh!
wish me luck!
