My last post was full of sunshine and roses…NOT.
This week my eating has been
off track far
off track.
Today, with only two days
left before weigh-in, I am still up 3 lbs for the week.
Those are the facts and as

Thanks Biz! |
Thanks for all the comments on my last post. As many of you reminded me, this will be a
long journey and there is sure to be ups and downs. I’m still working on those three pounds, but
this week is likely to end with an up/gain.
Biz is right and she served up exactly the attitude adjustment I
needed. Complaining and whining won’t
get me anywhere and it definitely won’t help today or tomorrow. From now on, I will make every effort not to
do that. I may fess up to a bad eating
day or week, but I will own it and speak to how I plan to learn from the
mistake and move on.
Despite whatever the scale says this coming Sunday, August
is going to be a good month for me.
Why? It’s going to be a good
month, because I AM GOING TO MAKE IT A GOOD MONTH. My plan for the rest of the month is to start
tracking my calories and exercising. I’m
not sure what the right target is for me, but I will start with a range of
1500-1800 calories per day. I am
convinced that my metabolism is way slow from the diabetes, thyroid and
sedentary lifestyle. If I stick to this
target and the weight is coming off too quickly (I wish) then I will adjust. As far as exercise, I am not sure what form
it will be in, but it will be movement.
I’ll start with a little and build up.
Starting is better than not starting.
This sounds like a good plan.
Whether it’s good or not, I don’t know, but it’s a plan people.
In other news, the hard drive on my work laptop crashed
yesterday. It actually started failing
Tuesday afternoon. I took Wednesday off
and then had to deal with it yesterday.
My hard drive was replaced and I was able to recover most of my
data. We have an automatic backup daily,
but if MS Outlook is open during the backup any personal folders may not be
backed up. I may have lost some emails,
but that is yet to be determined. The
frustrating part, is reloading all the software. I think I am about finished with most of the reloading/recovery,
but time will tell. I still have most of
my hair left, so I think I’ll be alright.
It’s Friday, in case you may have forgotten. Hope you have a nice evening and a super
weekend!
