Week 10, Day 1, Diet with Dianna

Well, I am down by twelve pounds and my waist measurement is down by six inches. WHEW! This has been quite an experience. I am so glad that I have lost some weight and inches! I've got a lot to go...*sigh*.

REVELATION KNOWLEDGE:
When my kids were small, school age, Wade and I chose to homeschool our children. That was a daunting task. When I chose to do this I knew I was in it for the long haul; fifteen years. I couldn't look at the huge challenge ahead, but instead I took it one day at a time. If I even began to think about the enormity of schooling all three children and the length of time it was going to take, I would have crumbled and given up. By taking it a day at a time, I was able to focus on getting through one day. Each day I would breathe a sigh of relief, go to bed, and start again the next day.

That is how I have to approach this diet. One day at a time. I know it is going to take me, at least, a year...maybe longer to lose one hundred pounds. YIKES! I will celebrate my accomplishments and look back at the days I've successfully finished; working towards my goal, one day at a time.

Exercise:
Some beginner yoga: main standing mountain position, downward dog, raised hands, forward bend, but mine was more like a forward low bow...I don't have much flexibility and my hands are about a foot from touching the floor..., pyramid, and finally the side angle) I am sore after doing these simple positions...AHHHH!

Some beginner aerobics, mainly marching in place with some large arm lifts, side steps, knee bends, and arm circles and thrusts. I wasn't too out of breath, but I did get my heart rate up, considerably.

Breakfast:
One whole (top & bottom pieces) slice of Oroweat whole wheat sandwich thin topped with two teaspoons of seedless blackberry jam topped with whipped cream and two slices of bacon...and my usual coffee.
