Jumping Cow

So, Monday went relatively well. Lucy and I did our exercise together. It was only 20 minutes, but that is better than nothing. And - she decided it needed to be ballet style! I giggle to myself when I picture what we must have looked like running, hopping, twirling, and jumping (you get the picture) around the house. I probably looked something like a jumping cow - not exactly graceful. But, I don't care and the sounds of laughter filled the house - which made the experience wonderful.

Tuesday, also a good day. It started with a weigh-in - and guess what I was down another pound! YIPPEE! Now, I don't expect the weight to keep dropping at this rate. I think my body is just in SHOCK. It wants to know why I keep making it move and am not feeding it crap all the time. My muscles are still screaming at me - but it doesn't bother me. They too will learn the new ways and enjoy them. Already I notice I have way more energy! Which I TOTALLY need to get through my long days - without a nap. :)

I did break down today a little - I craved sugar!!! So, I decided to make some fabulous chocolate chip cookie dough dip from a recipe I found online. Thank you Katie! At least the calories I consumed were not completely empty! My kids love this one too. Please visit Katie's site for the recipe and MANY other 'healthy' desserts.
