Look Ma!! No Hands!!

These last two days that I have tread milled, I haven't had to hang onto the bars of the treadmill.  I have been told that this makes for a better workout.  I am hoping that by going slower like I have these past two days, will in the long wrong help me to have workout that has a little more impact.

I did the Pilates DVD again this morning.  In some places it feels like a joke.  The instructor keeps telling me to hold my ankles.  I can barely reach my calves, so I think it's kinda funny.  I can't wait though for the day that I can reach my ankles with no problems.

On another note, I have taken the scale out of the packaging.  It was scary but I did it.  It's not allowed in the bathroom.  I feel better about where it is.  It sits just outside the bathroom door.  I see it but I am not consumed by it.  Anyways I have stood on it.  It was kinda like a nightmare doing that.  I says that I have gained weight since the last time I weighed myself!  Which is sooo surprising!  It's surprising because all my clothes still fit.  I don't know about any of you, but I dread taking jeans out of the dryer and wearing them.  They are always tighter then when I put them in.  But, I haven't had that problem in the recent weeks.  The fit nicely when they come out of the dryer!  I don't really get what the heck is going on but whatever?

The guy that gave me the workout advice said that it could be from the exercise causing everything to get denser, which is a good thing I think.  My hope is that I will start to see some actually weight loss soon.

I have been working on my Menu Planner the last few days.  I want to have a months worth of ideas but next week.  I think that this will also help with the whole picture.  Eating better will help the weight loss and having a menu plan will help our budget.

I know that I have asked before but I'm gonna ask again.  What do you do for healthy meal plans?  What is your family's favourite meal?
