The Tortoise Continues

Who knows...my body has a mind of its own. After eating half a lemon cake last week I still lost one pound. So that is 176 this week. Had to stop running the last have of the week due to a rough left knee but back to 2 miles today...feels pretty good.

Better but not enough

I really did try to watch what I was eating this week. Joe and I went away this weekend and had a nice dinner at our hotel in upstate New York, or I might have been a little better. On the road in Ohio all this week. I think the snow week after week is getting to me. Another storm tomorrow and another one this weekend. We have averaged two a week and its in the negative temperatures. Spring anyone??

Lost -1.7 pounds

Well I still weigh 179. So I guess for a bad week I should be glad I didn't gain. Back on track with exercise this morning. Feeling a lot better so should be able to stay on track. Ate chocolate twice last week but that was my only real cheat. No more chocolate!!!

Confirmations

Well, it was a week of confirmations for me. That doesn't mean it was a good week, but at least I know what I have to avoid. I confirmed:

• When I am bored, I eat. I didn't travel at all last week and actually never left the house from Sunday till Friday. NOT GOOD!
• When I am stressed, I eat. The beginning of the year is the worst time at work and this year isn't letting us down.
• When I don't post, I eat. I didn't post at all last week and therefore I could eat in secret and didn't have to tell anyone.
• When I can find an excuse not to exercise, I do...and it doesn't take much of an excuse!

I spend so much of my life controlling things, my clients, my team, budgets, etc. The one area where I have no control is eating and I am sure there are much deeper reasons for that.

I have to make a conscious effort this week to lose. I am not traveling again, so there have to be ways to avoid the food.

Bad week! I've had a nasty cold so haven't been exercising. Didn't want to have a cough attack on any one! I will be lucky not to gain anything back! Oh well Monday is a new day!

Starting Over

I started off very well last week and got down to 196 pounds. Thursday and Friday I found myself starving and derailed. I can't shake this cold that I've had for a week and am finding food is the only thing taking me out of my misery.

Last week's weight : 199.2
This morning's weight: 199.2.

So I'm right back where I started. I'll do better this week.
