This week's loss: 3.2 lbs
Total loss: 28.6 lbs

Holy cow - almost 30 lbs! I didn't expect to lose anything this week because I only worked out twice, but 3.2 lbs is kind of awesome. I sort of expect to either maintain or gain some back this week because I think that loss is in part due to not eating very much the last three days. I've been really sick this week - terrible head cold, hacking cough, losing my voice - and an appetite just wasn't in the cards. So for like, 3 days I was between 5-10 points under my minimum total points. I know that isn't healthy and I think that is mostly responsible for the loss. I'm feeling marginally better today and yesterday my appetite seemed to come back a little (although for the weirdest things...) so hopefully this week will be a little more normal.

I skipped working out because I didn't feel good - probably a good thing - but I hope I can get back on track this week. I'm all loopy in the head and unmotivated to do any work. I'm considering taking a short walk around the neighborhood tonight just to get myself moving again. This week shouldn't be *too* busy with school....far fewer meetings and after-school responsibilities than last week...so hopefully I can regain some lost ground.

I'd write more but I'm beginning to sense this blog is defunct...

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...
