Oh my god, Katie, you are kicking ass and taking names! I love it!!

I am not doing so well. I could make a million excuses but I won't, because what's the point? Simply put, I need to get my summer act together! I think I probably need to get up earlier - turns out, the ability to sleep in is a dangerous one where I'm concerned - and get into a routine. I really thought I'd have found my motivation by now, but I haven't yet. Buying a scale should be a priority too. I think that might shock me into action. I did buy those English muffins, and I LOVE those Fiber One bars (I can't believe they are one point - they're delicious!) and my fridge is full of healthy food. Turns out, I'm really good at hunting down all the worst options and combinations in my cabinets. What can I say, it's a gift.

But god, Katie, I am SO proud of you! I wish you were closer so we could be workout buddies and you could kick my ass into gear.

Attitude is Everything and Goal Setting

By Anonymous -
So.... I haven't had anything to say lately. Shocking, I know. But here's the 411 for now. I had been doing really well, and then didn't exactly fall off the wagon -- more like plummeted, with weekend potlucks in the ED (there is nothing wrong with 4 desserts!) and less time to work out now that Ian is out of school. But, I have managed to climb back up, and amazingly enough, the damage was not as bad as I thought. I did manage to gain back 2 pounds, but I'm plugging away at getting those off. I have to say, girlies, I'm really impressed with the positive and realistic attitudes so far. Setting small, realistic goals is so important. I'm going to quote St. Francis of Assisi, "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible". What St. Francis is basically saying, and what I want you to be able to do is, to start making small changes as you can, until you find that your small changes have a...

Back in the saddle again...

Okay, so I'm back from Gettysburg and NYC. Just to give you an idea of how the eating went: 13 hours in a car = fast food breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Not being in your own apartment = eating out every day. Probably the healthiest part of the whole trip was when we were actually AT the reenactment because we just had little boxes of cereal for breakfast, cheese and crackers for lunch, and stew for dinner. The sad thing is that it turns out I'm only down one pound from where I started (meaning I gained 4 of the 5 lost back). Oh, well! I should be in good shape for the rest of the summer-- no more vacation and Mer is moving to L.A. (I hate to say it, but she is a bad influence on me as far as drinking goes.) Here is today: 1 peanut butter and oats Fiber One bar = 2 pts. 1/2 ham and cheese sandwich = 6 pts. 22 oyster crackers = 1 pt. Szechwan shrimp = 4 pts. ---> THIS is a delicious recipe. Here is the breakdown: 2/3 c. asparagus = 0 pts. 4 oz. cooked shri...

Not necessarily great, but could be worse?

Okay, so as of last post I said I was W-3.  I'm still technically W-3, but a couple days ago was W-5.  This tells me that, even though there might be a pound of two of fluctuation, my weight is at least on a downward trend!  (I'm not W PLUS anything, anyway.) In terms of counting points, I've been really bad.  Okay, by "really bad," I mean I haven't counted points since my last points post.  I am, however, at least being cognizant of what I eat and am trying to make better choices.  Today, for instance, my honors Sophomores were going to be watching V for Vendetta.  One of my students asked if he could go make a bag of popcorn.  I said, "Of course!  As long as you make me one, too."  So he comes back and hands me on of the bags.  Feeling guilty and fearing undoing the small loss I have accomplished, I changed my mind and gave the bag to another student in the class.  Soooo, not a huge deal, but I saved myself probably a coupl...
