Treadmill
ALSW - I know what you mean w/ your Mom. All my life my Mom has been really hard on me about my weight. Recently, in the past couple of years I guess, she has really let up & been less about me being thin & more about me just being healthy. Which is completely valid I think. My family is riddled w/ diabetes, bad cholesterol, cancer & heart problems. Anyhoo, my Mom is my biggest supporter & my harshest critic. I couldn't love her more for it. Well, now that I see it as her concern for my health & not how people see me. We used to have arguments about it. It's so much better now that she has understood how to approach me & now that I have learned that I really do need to get in shape to lead a healthy, fun life.
Tonight David & I were bad w/ dinner. We had tacos. 
I still choose to see it in if not a positive light then a 1/2 step in the right direction. We used to be terrible about eating out. Taco Bell, Sonic, McDonald's, Chinese, Mexican, pizza...that we have stayed home every night except last Friday is a huge step. I know those tacos I ate w/ the leanest beef possible were 10 times better than that Class D meat I would have ate (eaten? alsw help me out!) at Taco Bell. Even better I have had about 5 bottles of water today. THAT makes me feel really good. I am a Dr. Pepper, Mt. Dew fiend.
On my workout for today I did the elliptical for 12 minutes at an almost fast pace & I jogged & walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes. I also did arms on weights. I am also about to stretch. I feel very limp & happy. Like I said before & I know I will say in the future - The feeling I get after a workout is amazing. So relaxed & happy. Thank you endorphins!
OK, buddies, I'm about to stretch & watch some cartoons...Have a good night!
ps - we had sushi on Friday night. we LOVE sushi

Sushi is awesome! Yeah - I'm with you. My mother is my biggest fan and harshest critic and I take all of it to heart. She wants me to exercise and to be healthier, but she always goes about it the wrong way. And if you push me the wrong way, I'll just ignore what you say and do what I want.
She doesn't get that just yet.
But when she gives me a compliment, I couldn't be happier!
1And tacos might not be that bad for you. Depends on how you make them. I usually use ground turkey (rather than beef) and try to pile on the salsa and veggies. That stuff is definitely good for you!
And congrats on not eating out as much - I know what you mean! I live for other people to cook me dinner, but lately? We just haven't been in the mood and need to save the money.
But I have guests coming from Atlanta today and I'm a little worried that I'll be bad. But, then, I'll be walking all over DC, so that's some hefty exercise!
