It's starting to work!

Well, I stepped on the scale this morning, and lo and behold, I've lost 2 pounds! Whoohoo! I've been eating healthy (smoothies, small portions, etc) and I'm very thrilled with this. The other thing I've noticed is that my clothes are fitting a little looser. I know, for only 2 pounds, I shouldn't have lost an inch yet, but I think I may be gaining muscle as well. I have been helping Jim at the job site, tearing off old roofing, etc, and this is really building up muscle. Hopefully, not just in my arms though. If I lift weights for any length of time, my arms become ripped. I don't want to have muscley man arms, thank you, I like my arms to look somewhat feminine :D

So anyway, it's time to do my measurements. I can't seem to find my tape measure, so I am going to have to borrow one tomorrow from Susan and get that done.

Updates

Well, my son has been initiated into boyhood, following his father's footsteps. Yes, he has now broken his arm! So, that means no bouncing on the trampoline. So, I have been sorely lacking in the exercise department, since I don't want to upset him by jumping without him :( I have been continuing to eat healthy, although there have been a few cheats. After getting X-rays with Luke, I promised him a donut, so we both ate one (I think I deserved one after watching my poor baby scream while the nurse held it to get the X-ray).

Yesterday though, I ate pretty good. Snacked on ham (we have a LOT), ate a ham and cheese sandwich (did I mention we have a lot of ham? lol) and egg salad. I also ate some homemade pork and beans - I'm really starting to develop a taste for beans, finally. I'm pretty pleased about that, since they are so healthy for you! Susan gave me a few bags of beans yesterday, that she had bought but just hadn't used. She knows I'm trying to cook more with beans, so she passed them my way. (It wasn't free though - she's going to take my share of salmon in September. A huge hardship, you know, since, well.... I HATE THE STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!) I'm going to need to look up some different ways to cook beans.

So, there you have it people. Exercise down, eating healthy up :)
