Well, yesterday I weighed in at 165.2 lbs, so you can imagine my utter shock this morning when I saw 167.8 lbs.  That is 2.6lbs in one day.  I don’t even think I ate that badly, or did I?  Either way, watching the scale go up is exactly what I needed to get my act together.

A friend of mine has been updating her facebook very regularly with her activities that she is doing to lose weight lately.  I gave her a call, and talked to her a bit, and she was very adamant that I need to finish what I started.  She said, you are less that 20lbs away from where you want to be, so just do it.  You can do it in 2 months and accomplish a goal of yours.  When she put it that way, it makes sense to just do it.  Not to throw away this opportunity.  I am home for at least 7 more months before I head back to work.  I really need to seize this chance I have and just do it.

I need to form an action plan.  One that is different than what I’ve been doing, but really identifies what works for me.  Number one thing to do is start moving again, and finding a way to love movement.  I really enjoyed my aquafit classes, so I think that is one thing I am going to go back to.  Now that my skin is making a recovery, I should be back in a state to go for aquafit classes by end of March.  But, I need to get something else going before that.. whether it is walking, running, biking or whatever.

The other thing is eating.  The eating is not so bad.. it was bad the last week, but overall I know how to control that and keep things in check.  So now it is a matter of not allowing the little slip ups here and there.  Wish me luck.. the first step in fixing the problem is identifying it.  I think I’ve done that, now I need to come up with how I am going to change things.. and I need to do that soon.
