Hotter than Hades - at least for this Minnesota girl - but we got out for a walk. I even ended up running a bit. The little one was in the front instead of the back and didn't have shoes on so I got paranoid about the sun so I ran the sunny spots and walked the shady spots. Luckily there was a lot of shade - for her and for me! I had the added motivation of 2YO saying, "more running, Momma" and "go faster." A big "thank you" for those in the neighborhood with sprinklers running!
Another "thank you" to Ashlee for introducing me to the best tank ever! I got my Old Navy active tank yesterday and thought maybe I could wear it in public. Then I put it on and fell in love! It has the best, flattering shape! It is loose around the belly and has the great razor back and a cut perfect for hiding armpit pudge, such a a great top and I even wore it out of the house today when I took the kids for a walk/run. What a great feeling to wear something so light instead of sweating my tush off in an oversized, hot t-shirt!!!

I was a little aware of my arms, but didn't really feel self-conscious. To quote Phoebe,
"...you don't care if people are staring, it's just for a second cause then you're gone!"
Maybe they laugh at my large, slow butt, but they won't be laughing when they see me a few months from now. I think I'm also more secure now because I'm a mom pushing a stroller with two young babies. I have an excuse on display, and nobody is really looking at this mom of two anyway.
At least I got out there is the heat today. Yesterday was a busy one and I didn't get much in. My eating has been pretty fantastic, though. I was probably a little too low today, but I ate great! I had two Egg Breakfast Muffins, 1/3 banana, 4oz chicken on a salad with flax seeds and Asian sesame dressing, 1/2 cup of applesauce with the kids, and a yummy dinner of 4oz tilapia, and potatoes. I was looking at everything thinking I needed to get in more, but it's a little late now and I'm not hungry. I might grab a glass of vanilla soy milk and call it a night.
Pretty good start to the week! I took a peek at the scale and my gain from the week and a half off is gone and then some. I know I can do this, I just wish I felt confident I could keep it up longer than a month.
