I just discovered a meme from the Blogamama called Tuesday Toot- so here is the Tooting of my horn:

Last week, after reading the book I mentioned below (Skinny Bitch) I had sort of a life changing moment as far as getting myself on track to lose weight, focusing on me first for a change rather than my children and husband, and basically just taking care of myself. Time and time again I have jumped on the latest diet craze, the next quick fix idea and whatever else is in the news to lose weight and fell good about myself. I can give the best advice to anyone- what to eat, how much..everything..but I never followed this myself. I get frustrated, hungry, bored and quit..all the time.

Until this week. I am so thrilled with how my week has progressed. I've been eating healthier than I ever have before. I'm eating salads and loving them, fruits and enjoying them and all sorts of vegetables. I love how I feel. I feel lighter, not bloated and heavy..I'm thrilled.

I have been walking pretty regularly, but if it's raining or too cold or snowing- I don't walk. So also this week I unhitched the folded up treadmill and started speed walking on the days I don't walk outside- I've also added a bit of running at the end to pump up my heart a little more. So that's my week..that's my toot and I'm happy to share it with you all! Thanks!
