Body Maintenance

Weighed in at 184.5. That’s good, still on track. I want to be down to 180 by June 1 which gives me plenty of time as long as I stay on track.

Meeting Sistah Pam at the gym in an hour or so to jog around the pool. I wish our pool was available but it’s still too cold.

I hate body maintenance. All the girlie stuff like nails and shaving legs and haircuts and hair color. Wait a minute, let me rephrase that…I hate finding time to do all the body maintenance. Today, I need to find time to do all that stuff. My haircut is one of those where it’s fine one day and too long the next. It’s like overnight I can’t stand it. It looks flat and stringy and I have to get it cut today or wait till next weekend. I also promised myself a manicure and pedicure if I reached my goal on the 15th so I want to get that done today. Right now, it’s off to the shower to scrub and shave and then off to the gym.

12:00 - Back from the gym.  I haven’t eaten yet today and that’s not good so I’m wolfing down some leftover green beans from last night’s dinner before I head out again.  DH has to be at a dedication for his recently deceased sister at 2:00 and I need to get my running done before then so I can be here to watch Jake and Scout.  SIL passed away in February and was always very active in working with the local firehouse and Crusade for Children.  They’re dedicating a memorial to her at the fire station today.  I was going to go but DH seems okay with me staying here.  He’ll be with all his sisters and several friends.

7:00 - Okay, the poor old bod is about as maintained as it’s gonna get for a while.  Manicure, pedicure, legs shaved, haircut, brows waxed, and hair colored.  Here’s a surprise, I don’t get my nails done very often because I usually just do them myself but when I do, I go to a snazzy little place that’s a bit pretentious.  A manicure is $30.00 and a pedicure is $40.00.  So, everytime I go, it’s $80.00 with the tip.  Now you know why I don’t go very often.  Anyway, this is a spur of the moment thing so I thought I’d try the nail salon in Walmart.  Yes…Walmart!  Guess what?  It was great!  They did a better job than the snobby little place.  Guess Walmart is my new nail salon.

I just got home and haven’t eaten anything but some green beans today so I just made a fake pastrami on rye.  Instead of pastrami and swiss piled on rye, I had turkey pastrami, fake fat-free swiss cheese, and light Whole Grain bread.  Not too bad!

I don’t like having to do all the maintenance either. I like how I feel afterwards, but it seems like such a huge time suck….

You’re right about that! I like the results but not the time investment!

With all the spare time you seem to have, help me get the blog bugs worked out. I want neat things on it and can’t figure it out.

I have enjoyed your blog. I have gotten some meal ideas and feel like I saw some of myself there. Thank you for letting me read it. Kathy

hey there, don’t know if you are still interested in the “why am i losing weight so slowly” bit, but my therapist is big on “starvation diets” and believes that we restrict too much when we diet, which is why our body is eating up our muscle mass,which is why its hard to lose weight. solution could be to increase calorie intake a bit,but that is scary and may or may not be the right solution for you.
