Saturday
Lots of ups and downs today but right now things seem to be looking up. Food had been good but then I went on a mini-binge. My new favorite treat is peanut butter on banana, so at least my binge food is somewhat healthy.
The weather cleared up and I was able to get outside for a while and cut the grass. It was nice to get moving and use my muscles. I actually caught myself breathing a bit hard, sad that this makes me happy. It’s also sad to think that probably a month from now we could be looking at snow. According to someone, we’re supposed to be looking at our first big storm around Thanksgiving. I’m definitely NOT ready for that but I’m guessing Mother Nature doesn’t really care what I think.
I’m going to set some more goals depending on my weigh-in tomorrow. As much as I would love to lose 10 pounds each month I know that this much pressure is what’s causing me to fall off track. Instead I’m going to set my sights on 5-7 pounds/month. Basically, I want to be under 200 by the end of the school year, and when I make my goal I’m either going to order P90X or take pilates classes over the summer. Has anyone done the P90X? My brother did and he said it was great but I would like a woman’s perspective.
Progress toward workout goal: 76/250
I don’t even want to think about snow! I’m hoping we can move down to Florida from November to April each year when we retire.
Since we missed a full week of school after Ike, I really hope we don’t have any snow days. As it is, we’ve got an entire week tacked on to the end of the school year.
Yeah, you might want to ease up on those goals. I started out having a goal of 10 pounds per month but it just didn’t happen. Having been on this road for six months now, I’ll be happy to just keep losing.
Sorry, I don’t know what the P90X is???
Snow? Can I live with you? I miss snow so much. I live in a part of Kentucky that just doesn’t get that much snow and it makes me sad. I love snow! Anyway, I’ve had to rethink my goals constantly. I’m happy with the ones I have now and I’ve found it’s helpful for me not to set time frames. For example, my first goal is to get under 240. So, I’ll get back on track with healthy eating and exercise and it will happen when it’s supposed to happen. Or if I do use time frames, I’ll base them on losing 1-1/2 pounds a week. For me that’s more realistic.
I also have not idea what a P90x is? Enlightenment, please.
