Today is a great day. I haven't gotten in my workout yet but it's still a great day!
I took yesterday off from working out but did still get in our walk.
I didn't log my foods but used the average food feature on bodymedia
I wore my wrist weights all day for the most part I really didn't notice them. Through out the day I would do little triceps exercises and today My arms are not sore :) The times I really noticed them were while brushing my teeth, picking up a fork (made that fork really heavy!), and typing ( makes me hold my hands in a different way so they don't hit the keys but I'm not getting bugged by it as much today while typing).
The rest of the day I really didn't noticed them at all if it were not for the fact that my arms were sweating under the bands.
I realized that I actually do have a lot of fat on my lower arms. I don't know why I didn't notice it before, I noticed the upper arms getting bigger because my sleeves were getting tighter. Noticed my hands had gotten a bit bigger as I have not been able to take off my rings since last summer. But never really noticed my forearms till yesterday while wearing my weights and noticed the muscles popping out and a bit of fat hanging off the bottom. Bet it will be back to normal by the end of my 30 days of wearing these wrist bands :)
My numbers for yesterday ( I didn't list the Calories Consumed since I didn't actually log my meals)
My hubby has been much more supportive recently. I think a lot has to do with I stopped making demands and started trying to explain my point of view in a nice way...and I have been really trying to listen to what he is trying to say. Recently I'm trying a new way of talking to him.. he'll say something and I will repeat back what I think he just said...or what I think I understand he's trying to say....I'm finding about 90% of the time I have totally misunderstood what he's trying to say. and the same goes when he repeats back to me what he thinks I'm trying to say. We are working on being able to talk to each other without getting frazzled and just walking out of the room without ever getting out what we were wanting to say. It's making for less tension in the house which is great for the kiddos :) Everyone seems to be happy more.
He hasn't been giving the kids any junk food (he's been letting me do it lol) and the only things he has been bring in the house has been things I have ok. He's really trying...I think....So last night I decided to let him off the hook and ordered pizza.
Being Friday during Lent means no meat but his fav pizza is all vegs without meat. My daughter wanted the spinach pizza so I didn't even have to bring up it being Friday ....everyone got just what they wanted.
I did have the topping from two slices. I don't really like what the crust does for me after eating it so I opted to only have the toppings which was a lot of vegs.
Everyone was happy. No one was bickering and there was peace in our home :)
I have learned that I need to lighting up a bit on my hubby and not try and force him to do everything my way. I need to be a bit bendable and try and allow him to have a voice (at least sometimes) :)
I"m trying not to be such a control type person and to allow his ideas be considered. It's one of the things I've been working on for several years. It just seems like recently it's finally starting to click in place :)
Today I'm happy. I am NOT tired! I'm not a bundle of energy but I'm not tired. I'm getting better :)
Here's to reaching all of our goals one step, one hour, one day at a time :) WE CAN DO IT!

It sounds like we have so many parallels in our marriages! I don't mean it disrespectful to my own hubby when I say this (or to yours if it applies!) but one thing I noticed in my marriage is that my hubby is kinda like a rebelling teen - the more I push the more he pulls...sometimes when I let go a little bit he doesn't try to defy it so much. Sometimes. lol. Sounds like a great day! I've had my butt on the p.c. too long today so I'm off for some steps! I am glad you and hubby are making some progress, hope the same happens here :)
