DH left Tuesday afternoon for his buddy’s cabin. He comes home tomorrow, probably late in the day. Being alone here is really triggering for me, and the longer he’s gone, the more my cravings grow. What makes things especially hard is that without a job, I have copious amounts of unstructured time. My mind has [...]
I came up with an exercise plan that I can hopefully stick to. Running every day last week kicked my butt big time. (Is it jog or run? I never know which word to use… ). I may have overdone it, because every day I was famished, 24/7!.. I mean hungry with a capital H. [...]
Friday, while unloading groceries into the fridge and cabinets, I realized that something has shifted… this time at the grocery store I made good choices, almost by second nature. I guess you could say second nature, because my 1st nature was to shop for crap!
No, this time there was no lingering in the cookie/cracker aisle, [...]
Yay! Yippee! I almost can’t contain myself. I WEIGH 160, THE WEIGHT ON MY DRIVERS LICENSE!!! This is probably the 1st time since I was a teenager that I can say that. I could turn cartwheels I’m so happy! (Maybe just mental cartwheels… bad wrist).
Right now as I write this, I am crossing my legs [...]
I kicked up my exercise a notch. Still walking every day, or at least 6 days/week. But now I’m trying to take 2 walks a day, morning and evening. Also I’m making a big effort to increase the pace… I’m running more than walking now. One of my goals early on was to run the [...]
Broccoli, lovely tender broccoli, steamed and lightly drizzled with olive oil… so delicious, so precious. I can’t believe I grew it myself… oh, the ecstasy! The warmer weather will hopefully hurry the tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, okra and everything else along. I am getting very anxious to see some more delicacies to pick and eat with [...]
Needed a few things from Walmart the other day. I rarely shop there, but with our limited income as of late, I go and feel grateful for the low prices. Anyway, it seemed like everywhere I looked, everyone was obese, even children. I never really noticed this before when I shopped there, but this time [...]
Rrrrrrr!
Weighed in at 164.5 today, and I’m pissed! Up and down and stuck in 164/165 land.
I know exactly why I haven’t lost this week: eating out, eating more than less, saying yes to ice cream at least 4 times, pizza for dinner, Chinese food, fries. When I got on the scale earlier in the week [...]
My hips used to hurt when I was at my heaviest… after a few days of 30 minute walks, I would give up and take time off. Then I’d walk again and the process would start all over again.
Last summer I was so bummed out by my hips that I pretty much stopped walking altogether. [...]
I am all suited up and ready to go on my walk. But it is so friggin’ cool out that every fiber of my (external) being is whining to stay in where it’s nice and dry. On days like this I’m like a little kid at the pool… dipping my toe in the cold water, [...]
