227

I lost 3 lbs. this week. Doesn't seem like a lot after last week's loss but 1-2 lbs. a week is considered healthy. Weight that takes time to lose is usually because you are doing it the healthy way and you are also more likely to keep it off.

It was a beautiful day yesterday for walks with my kids, playing soccer, and some croquet. Take advantage of the Spring weather before it becomes uncomfortably hot later in the year. If you have children you'll be helping them create memorable times together and get them in the habit of being physically active. It's much easier to have a healthy adult lifestyle if that is how you were raised.

Today I am taking my kids up to the foothills after lunch. I don't know that I can keep up with them but hey, I'll be lapping everyone on the couch! The kids are excited to go out and that excitement is contagious. Originally we were going to go up to the mountains today (I live in Idaho) but we decided it was still a little too chilly there to really enjoy. The kids are helping me pack backpacks with apples, almonds, and water. It's going to be a great day!
