Dinner

I had a nice bowl of chicken noodle soup.  Not sure how many calories.  I also had 4 Pillsbury crescent rolls, which is 360 calories.  That was bad.  So dinner was probably about 750 calories.  I had 3 or 4 dried mangoes today too.

I am feeling like I am doing a really good job with my eating.  I am consciously not putting things into my mouth that I normally would.  I went to the grocery store and Sam's club today and bought good healthy food. 

I am really tired.  I was up most of the night with a barfing kid.  I still need to exercise tonight.  I am hoping to rest for a few minutes and then get on the elliptical once I get my kids in bed for at least 20 minutes.

I did weigh today.  I was 202.4, so that is down 1.2 pounds. I am not putting much stock in that because my weight fluctuates so much anyway, but at least the number did not go up.

I sure hope my body decides it wants to lose weight.  I have had no success with weight loss the past few years.  It is very frustrating when you are making changes and putting forth so much effort and the scale just doesn't move. 

I want to get out and start running again.  It has been super cold the last few days but it is warming up a bit again.  It was easier to run over Christmas break when I didn't have a million things that had to be done each day.  Real life makes it tougher but I am determined.  I would really like to be able to run a considerable distance by the end of the year, if not a formal half marathon.
