Standing back up and eats of the day.

I know I been M.I.A for a long long time, and I apologize for that. I have no excuse exept that I gave up.
When I hit (i think) 168.4 I was stoked, thinking finally I'm out of the 170's, then I gained and kept gaining (not much, highest 176). That's when I threw in the towel and gave up. I wasn't moping around all sad and thinking it was the end of the world (which is good right?) I was just not thinking about it having fun and enjoying myself (I still read everyones' blog - I love 'em).
My weight has been up and down from 173 to 176, at the moment I'm 175.6. On one hand I'm happy because I haven't gained a lot of weight, on the other I haven't loss much either.
But today, I woke up I remembered a blogger (I can't remember which one, but will look for it and will find it and give credit to where it belongs ;) saying something along the lines of the hardest part in doing exercise is putting on your shoes, oh boy is she right. I have three weeks without doing any kind of exercise (Jillian Michaels who?)!!! In this crazy summer all I wear are sandals. Anyways back to my point, I woke up thought about that saying and thought "I need to put my shoes on and do something about it". It took me 1 hour and a half to put them on but I did, I grabbed my jumprope and went outside for 20 mins, I also did a few yoga poses. In the end I felt GREAT.
I'm - I just started today -kind of new to yoga. It's an excited new thing to me. Thefew poses I tried were the tree pose, down dog, bow pose, boat pose (which I could only hold for 10 secs), and the warrior II pose. I'm not good at it but I'm going to practice yoga as much as possible because I want to get better at it. I will get better at it and when I'm good I will post pictures of me in the pose :).

Now onto eats of the day (only took a pic of my breakfast):
a really late Breakfast for taking my sweet time putting my shoes on:
2 whole wheat breads with peanut butter, on the side 1/4 of honey dew melon.
late Snack: Perfect Green Monster smoother for this summer weather - 1 cup almond milk, frozen cantaloupe (1/2 cup?), 2 pieces of frozen mango, and ice cubes.
lazy LINNER: (lunch and dinner) 1/2 cup of rice, 1 cup of beans x2

I might have another green monster or yogurt with fruit for a late snack.

Water intake: 60 oz so far but I'm planning to drink some more as the day passes :)


I'm not giving up that easily ;)
I'm kicking 170's in the butt.

Thank you for [still] reading.
Have a pleasant sunday evening.
