Sorry, I haven’t posted much.  I have been doing other things to take care of myself.  Like WALKING!  I have been walking w. a girlfriend.  This is where we have been walking.  We take the cliff walk above the ocean, it is so beautiful.  It takes us about an hour to do the loop.  OMG!  I have been so sore.  So it must be working. I will give it a few more walks and then get on the scale to see if I have lost anything.

My computer time is much less, when I take care of myself.  It seems I use the computer as a distraction….I bet lots of us do that.  Anyway, the bottom line is that I feel better!

Good morning, all!  I’m happy to report that the scales moved in a favorable direction this week, after last week’s, er, “stall”.  I’m down 1.5 lbs this morning.

I had a couple of nice, long beach walks this past weekend, which I’m sure helped a lot, and I’ve been journaling again and that always helps keep me on track.

P2G:  52.5 [-15.5] 

The numbers:

.8 lbs lost / 12.8 total lbs lost / 27.2 P2G

The week:

Well, not the best weight loss week, but still a loss.  This past week has been a challenge.  Between a weird work schedule (which had me eating a ham sub and FF Lays potato chips in a strange hotel in a strange town at 10 pm at night), my neice’s birthday party, and the fact that it’s PMS week, I’m quite THILLED will a loss.

It’s time to step it up, though, so I rejoined the gym yesterday.  It’s close to my office, so I can go lift weights on my lunch break, and if I’m feeling REALLY motivated, I can go and do the more sweaty cardio after work.  I also purchased a pair of hiking shoes, since the VIM has indiated that there are some substantial day hikes in my future.  AND I am recommitting to writing down EVERYTHING I eat.  Gosh, it’s easy to get away from that!
