Walking and shopping

I spent the day with Mamala and Baby Sister shopping at First Monday in Canton. We walked from noon until 5:00 pm. With about a 20 minute break for lunch. Now this was not a "break a sweat and pant" walking pace of course, unless you count a steep hill I had to go up three times. But I am tired and I counted it for two miles.

Doing a Little Better

Ate okay today. Not perfect, but did not over eat and had some veggies. I did garden this afternoon. The hard kind moving compost and such. I added up those calories and matched them to the calories burned walking. I added it to my walking ticker. My gardening counts.

Here I go again

Hormones and husband have caused a five pound weight gain. I thought him being off work would give me time to start to walk, not so. He feeds me thinks like Chick-Fil-A, corn fritters, and all kinds of good stuff off the grill. I know I don't have to eat it, but I also know I dont have the kind of will power not to eat it. Anyway, he goes back to work on Saturday and I will try to get back on track. I really need to get that ticker moving.

I actually did it.

I actually did it. I went for the walk. Even though none of the sisters would go with me and it was dark and scary, I did it. I walked 1.5 miles. Not much I know, but it's a start. I hope to walk every day that Manly Man is off. That will be ten days and should get me in the habit. Plus I am going to look for one of those virtual walk thingies. Where should I virtual walk to? Christy is walking to Rivendall.

Okay, I couldn't find a good virtual walking ticker thingy so I put together that turtle ticker. That's how I feel slow and steady wins the race:)

Getting going again.

Setting myself up to succeed again. Made vegitable soup, boiled eggs, and humus. Now I have good choices again. I will try to start walking tomorrow. Manly Man will be off for ten days so now is a good time to begin.

Claiming 145

Okay, 145 stuck. I am claiming it regardless of the flu.

I weighed 145 this morning, but I have a touch of the flu and I feel bad counting "I got sick" weight loss. Middle Monkey is really sick. I am just a little sick so far. Everybody else is fine.

Hormones have returned to normal. I reached a new low of 146 this morning. Well, it's a new low for this time around on the weightloss merry-go-r0und. Hopefully, this little blog will keep me on track. I am afraid to fail in public. The three of you who visit here were always my public, but you were polite enough not to ask how fat I had gotten. Now it's all out there.

Size fourteen jeans had booty room this morning.

Boing Boing

148 feels like 3 million. Still bloated, but coming back down. Gardened for about three hours yesterday want to do even more today. The weather is supposed to be pretty.

Bounce

Okay, it wasn't five pounds, it was three. This morning it feels like 340. I hate being swollen like this. I am going to Whole Foods today for indulgent, expensive, skinny food. Want to come?

Sometimes it Sucks to Be a Girl.

I woke up with a hot flash and cramps. I could not get my jeans buttoned. I think I gained five pounds over night. I am afraid to weigh myself. Thanksfully, I am not hungry. Manly man took me to lunch, and I brought most of it home in a to go container. Oh well. This to shall pass.
