Sigh

Okay, I've been avoiding this here blog for quite some time now. And I've been avoiding eating properly for about as long.

Boo.

We went away (twice), we had a lot of treats, I got off of my routine, and I just basically decided to enjoy myself.

Sigh.

I've been trying to get back on the bandwagon since Saturday - when we came back home - and I guess you could say that every day is going a wee bit better than the last, but I still have yet to do a day properly... that is, to exercise, and to write down my points and stay within them. I might do it today yet, but I'm not sure - we'll see how the rest of the afternoon goes!!

I always start the day on track, and then its just a matter of time until I just go nuts, and totally lose it. So, we'll see.

I just want to be good without spending my whole day thinking about food and what I wish I was eating and what I'm gonna eat next. I'm such an addict. It sucks.

But this is, afterall, a Lifelong Journey, is it not? So, it doesn't end here - I'm gonna keep trying.

Stupid Food.
Stupid Addiction.

Guess What?

Well Easter weekend went fairly well and a little bit bad, but mostly really well. I went for my first ever jog outside (oh yeah, I think I mentioned that already)... and I stayed out of the candy for the most part. I did have a few oopses but I have vowed to focus on the positive. So here it is...
I bought a new bathing suit on Saturday and it is a size 8!

A SIZE EIGHT!!!!!

I never thought my body would fit into clothing numbered that small. It was a definite first for me - I got down to a size 9 last time, but this time I'm feeling smaller, even though my weight on the scale is still higher than my lowest weight a couple of years ago. Maybe its the exercise? I don't know, but its nice.

So, what did YOU do right this weekend?? I'm sure there was something...!

Happy Easter!

I can't believe its been 10 days since I've posted here. I've been alive - plugging away. I've been doing fairly well (or really well) this week so far. I went to the WW meeting and it helped me to have some good ideas for how to prep for this Easter weekend. I've been doing my best and I"ll share more with you later...
But for now I just wanted to share that today I went for a jog OUTSIDE! Where people could see me!!! Yeah, it was crazy. I enjoyed it but I found it to be tougher than the treadmill cuz I didn't know how fast I was going, and I think I went too fast and got tired out pretty quickly. But still, it was great and I'm proud.
I hope you're all having a good Easter! Enjoy it! But not too many mini eggs.... :o)

This Really Spoke To Me Today

Please go check out this article about our obsession with the scale, and our weight. I think it was exactly what I needed to hear this morning. I didn't go to WW yesterday cuz I knew the scale wasn't gonna show a loss - but I've been doing really well the past few weeks as far as exercise and lifestyle change goes. So, I'm going to go with the above mentioned article - which you should really really go see - and say that the lifestyle changes and exercise are more important than a scale telling me that my body mass is half a pound less than the week before. That is only one way to measure.
So - go read that article (you can click on the word article here and it will take you right to it... for those of you who didn't know)!
