Paddling My Canoe - Day #20

Good morning, fellow P2G’ers! Happy Groundhog Day! :D Our Nova Scotia rodent did NOT see his shadow this morning, so can spring be far off?

Yesterday was a good day again with no major mistakes in it. Well, I did have a 2″ slice of apple pie at suppertime, but even with that, I stayed within my calorie range for the day, thanks to a fish and salad brunch.

I started a new “diet blog” yesterday and have linked to that instead of my other one. I wanted a place where my day to day struggles and triumphs while losing weight wouldn’t get overshadowed by other posts. I posted an anecdote this morning about a canoe trip I took in 1996 and how the memory of that trip inspires me to face new challenges, if you care to read. I imagine that everyone has some sort of hardship they’ve overcome in their past from which they can draw inspiration and determination.

As of yesterday, I am down another .5 lb and hope to make that a full pound by tomorrow, my usual weigh-in day. From then on, I’ll be weighing on Wednesdays. Wishing you all GOOD days!

I’ve thought about starting a “diet blog” but haven’t ever followed through.

Now I wonder if the groundhog saw his shadow or not here in the states. We haven’t had a lot of really cold weather so I’m not sure I’m ready for spring but I sure am ready for the winter sickies to be gone.

I agree, we all have our cross to bear so to speak and our own set of difficulties. I guess even the skinny people do LOL. I find that it does help to read other peoples accounts of problems and what they do and then we don’t feel so alone or different and I think looking at how other people deal with them also helps tremendously. I’ll be taking a look at your blog, thanks for posting it.

Oh, I’m definitely not leaving! Are you kidding? No way. I wouldn’t be doing as well as I’m doing (probably nothing at all!) if it weren’t for the support I get here. I’ll post stories here, too, if you like. I’m always afraid I’m taking up too much space. :D

Phew! You better stay put! ;)

If stories help you, then heck yea, maybe they’ll help us, too! Bring them on! That’s what your log is for, it’s all part of the journey you take to reach your goal, and I personally find stories like that inspirational. :grin:
