So I finally faced the dreaded scale, and it told me exactly what I thought it would. Before the digital numbers said it, I said it: 173. It’s a significant # because 173 was the midway point in my weight loss last year… from 193 to 173 to 153. To 173.
F*ck it. So I’m back [...]
I’m making little changes. Trying to get out and walk more. I pushed myself out the door to go walking today in 20’s temps… sunny but OMG, so friggin’ cold. If I keep up with it, I know I’ll get back in the habit. For some reason, the treadmill is an issue for me this [...]
Walked with Joe to get the Sunday NY Times yesterday. Not sure but think it’s 4 miles round trip. It was nice to walk in the sprinkles with rain jacket hoods on. AND I walked today, even though I so did not want to. It felt good to get out. It always feels good, once [...]
I feel like the sluggish bear peeking out from her winter’s cave. The sun’s getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and cabin fever is slowly making an exit. I would love to say it’s been a healthy and successful winter for me, but it has just been okay. Is it terrible to feel happy [...]
Christmas noshing, nibbling on chocolate and cookies. Yuck. I vow to get back on the treadmill and chill out on the sweets now that the holidays are coming to a close. Oh, DH got me a nice present… Reebock cold compression tights & matching top. A good motivator!
Daily sweets grazing= 3 extra pounds. Yeah, I [...]
Set up the dvd player downstairs… now I can watch Ghost Whisperer reruns while I tread the treadmill. It felt good to get back on it after many months of outdoor walks. Ok I was in denial for a while that my daily road walks were over for the year and put off the treadmill [...]
I made it through Thanksgiving, yay! I had been feeling panic-y about the 4-5 lbs I gained when when my SIL and niece were visitng in October… but I just started walking more and eating a little less. I went back down to 155.5, and it feels better to know that I can regain control [...]
(159 lbs). I ventured out on my weekly walk today to pick up the Sunday NY Times. My Sunday ritual, a 4 mile round trip… it kinda keeps me grounded. I skipped on my birthday a few weeks ago, and it felt weird.
I start a new job tomorrow, a part-time seasonal position. I’m a little [...]
Went down to 156, today back up to 158.5 (sigh). I have a dread feeling in my gut. I was doing so well for so long. Now I can barely muster up the energy to lace up for a walk.
I hate sitting here and writing this down, A) because it makes the setback real; [...]
Do they have Chocoholics Anonymous meetings? I need one, bad. Why oh WHY did I buy that jar of Nutella? The good news is that I didn’t eat the whole thing, “only” half. And last night I made a half batch of chocolate frosting and slowly, methodically… polished it all off, in one sitting. Washed [...]
