Day 2 .... by
Weigh in day: 194.5 lbs. (?)
I wish someone would write a book dieting book for women going through the early stages of menopause. It’s awfully hard to stay focused when you’re not sure what you weigh (because periods last weeks or don’t come for weeks). After stepping on the scale this morning, I realized I hadn’t lost any weight since my last weigh in. I am sure it’s due to the factor already mentioned—still, when there’s no visible “progress”, things get discouraging. :rolleyes:
“blowin’ through the cobwebs of my mind” .... by Ruthxxx
I sat on the deck with the Doggage this morning to watch the sunrise and take a short look at Life. The sunrise was clear and gorgeous and then it clouded over - kind of like my thinking - but I decided not to rush around anywhere today. I will walk my furry babies and then may do some more gardening, if it’s not horrendously hot and muggy and buggy. This is a better choice than dashing off to town for towel racks! I can do that Monday when it is rainy. The plaster patching isn’t dry anyhow.
Will someone please kick me up the butt so as I can get back on track with this dieting. I don’t want to be fat for my holiday next June but for some reason all my enthusiasm has left me. Perhaps my enthusiasm has taken it’s own little holiday?? Well it picked the wrong time to leave me. Perhaps it doesn’t help that I have had the flu which has left me feeling miserable. And my hubby is spending even less time at home, although he isn’t out working!! I must I must get off this gaining streak!!
Hey all - well i know it’s too late to get an entry in for friday - but this is my friday entry!!! I had a wonderful day!!! I did not cheat once - i only snacked between one meal (popcorn - so nearly nothing) and i didn’t cheat at all. I banked 4 points today (which is good b/c i am having pizza tomorrow) and i wasn’t really hungry not eating the full amount of points! so....i think my noodle/bean counting is working!!!! i am soooo excited - plus i got up this morning at 6 am to do tae bo!!
Is it just me or is it a bit odd that the people who come up with these diets can’t grasp the concept that overweight people have a slightly distorted view of a “sensible dinner”?
Scientific research suggests that this new approach will speed up my metabolic rate. That’s always been the real problem for me. I never “lost” easily. I “gained” on what would be “normal” amounts of food for anyone other than me. So far, in two weeks since I’ve started dieting, I’ve lost more weight on the “same” program than I ever have before. I’m worried it’s just a fluke.
Time..... Wouldn’t it be so lovely if we could just stop time for a bit? Oh, excuse me...I need just 30 more minutes to exercise then (click) stop time for just a bit. LOL, who am I kidding? This is the same girl that pushes the snooze bar 3 times each morning! Time would stop! I’m a little overwhelmed this week with way too much to do and not enough time to do it all.
Real Simple is a magazine for organizing, cutting work in half etc. I got a subscription for my bd this year. It’s really just common sense but it did get me started on weeding through those mountains I call closets. You open them up and an avalanche comes down from every shelf! It is looking better but I realize now that it is a bigger task than I first led myself to believe. lol There is something therapeutic about throwing out some memories and I’m enjoying that part of it! I even broke
Well worrying about my fatitude is kinda out for the second. I am going in for mouth surgery next Tuesday. Yes I know thats my birthday. They need to remove a tumor in the bone and move the gum line. I have such a pretty smile, I love my teeth and my mouth, why is this happening to me? So if I am even fatter when I come back please understand. I don’t know when I will feel like writing again but I thought ya’ll deserved an explanantion.
I still smiled all day long. I woke up early, went off to work, did what I needed to do, and came home later than usual, but felt like I’d accomplished something. I’m in this new position at work, and kinda spear-heading a new program in the next county. I had no idea what to do going into it, but today, I felt smart, and busy. Two things I have’t felt in a while. It’s great to be managing my time correctly. And there’s something to be said for the structure of a full days work.
