I'm trying to walk 1/2 hour every morning, but today I seem to have acquired a shinsplint! I thought you only get those from running, but I've been walking as fast as my legs can carry me, so maybe that's why it happened. I'm wondering if I should take a day off or just struggle through the pain!! I don't want to hurt myself and then not be able to do anything.
I've been doing ok on eating. I "officially" weigh in tomorrow morning, but I'm not expecting to see a loss because I had a 4-pound loss last week and I think it's going to catch up and start leveling off now.
I haven't been posting much lately, as I've been backing off of really low-cal so I plateaued for eight months. I'm ready to stop this holding pattern and get back to weight loss again. I'm in! I plan to lose 20 pounds by January 1st. My current weight is 260ish (I'll do an "official' weigh-in next Wednesday).
I forgot to post last week - Lost 3 pounds last week. This week, I maintained.
Trish, it's awesome you're walking your son to and from school. What a great opportunity to listen and hear what's going on in his life! Those are the kinds of things that build memories.
Ok, I'll try for 250 by January 1, 2007. That will be 17 lbs.
I've been working on my writing every day in my office and that is keeping me
upstairs and away from the kitchen.
My sugar numbers are finally starting to lower too.
I had spent way too much time being depressed, excusing myself and procrastinating doing what I've dreamed of for so long- to be a published writer.
And someday-thin and good sugar control.
I feel excited as now, if I try to stay away from the office, I get buggy to go there. I revised a book manuscript, and I need to not look at it for a few days so I can look at it with fresh eyes. I'm getting a good habit here! and to everone.
Okay, I had my weigh-in this morning. 257. So I'm up about 10 pounds from where I was eight months ago. But the good news is, that's down about 5 from where I was a few weeks ago when I realized how much had crept back on.
So 240 by January will be about 1 pound a week. Go, team!!
I've started back up at Curves 3 days a week and have been walking 30 minutes every other day on the treadmill.According to the scale this morning I was down to 229,but not changing my ticker until I see that number come up more then once,lol.
I didn't walk the last couple of days, so I feel like quite a slug!! I'm going to the gym today after work, and I'm going to either walk on the treadmill or hit the elliptical for something different.
I was stuck at 254 for a couple of weeks but on my last weigh-in (yesterday), I was at 251! Woohoo!
My goal for New Year's is 229, which is another 22 pounds. I know I can do it!!
I would love to join you also! It is so hard for me to set a number because I never have control over when I stall out that has been my problem in hte past. Was here before lost 36 pounds plateaued and gained it all back.... I agree with Jen I sure should be able to lose a pound a week by then 20 pounds so that is what I will shoot for yeah 20 pounds by Jan 1st which would put me at 244
Not much progress for me yet. I've been on a crazy schedule that leaves me little time, so I'm eating what's convenient and always "too tired" to exercise. I'm checking back in here as a reminder that I made a commitment to myself. Hope all is going well for everyone else.
Things are going better-only one pound but doing more outside and inside
so I feel as tho I am increasing my muscles.
My book was sent to the agent to see if it's ok to sell.
I'm working on the second one.
Now if I can keep up on housework and get the porch painted before winter, I'll feel like I'm finnally overcoming my procrastination problem.
I'll try to check in more so I can keep inspired.
I'll jump in too!
and 
to everone.
