A Tuesday "Monday Motions" Post! :o)

Perhaps I should just title this my weekly weigh-in, as I rarely ever update on a Monday!  Alas, that is how life is right now.  On the plus side, I'm down another 1.6 pounds.  Yay!  Limiting my sugar/simple carbs (and moderating the whole grains) seems to be helping.  However, I'm trying not to be legalistic about it.  For instance, today was MOPS, and I enjoy tasting the various breakfast casseroles and a slice of coffee cake, and this afternoon, enjoyed a complimentary Krispy Kreme coffee and doughnut (thanks to a free-for-me birthday coupon!).  Tomorrow I'll go back to low-sugar again, but being a perfectionist ("If I don't do it exactly right, I won't do it at all!") got me here in the first place.

I'm also exercising more; this past week was more just walking, but tonight I added one minute jogging intervals.  It felt wonderful!  Though there is a part of me that wants to punish myself for stopping jogging after the 5K last December (I could actually run three miles - argh!  Can't even do a mile right now), I can't change the past, and have to move forward, one day at a time.  For right now, I've decided not to set a 5K goal, though I had hoped to run one more while 30.  I have a tendency to set a goal, do it, then be sick of it, and I don't want do that again.  I enjoy jogging, and simply want to do just that for a season, and in the meantime, develop new and healthy exercise habits.
