My First Splurge
Friday, May 25th 2007
I have several pounds of the best asparagus of the season and to go with it, tonight I'm going to splurge diet-wise on risotto. I've already plugged it into my food diary and along with my Kashi GO Lean bar and a banana this morning, I'm already over on my carbs! What would I do without lowfat cottage cheese; I hate to think.Anyway I'm heading to the park before it gets hot and that will put me way under my calorie target.
Overdoing It
Thursday, May 24th 2007
I think I've been overdoing it.After being laid up for most of the winter, I've been able to do my 'loop' at the park on any given day but now that I'm trying to do it three times a week again, I'm finding I don't have the endurance over the long haul yet. With working in the yard & garden on alternate days, I just ran out of steam yesterday and didn't do the yardwork I'd planned.

Eat MORE?

It's strange to be getting messages to increase my calories but I guess the program is set for a 4-5 lb. monthly weight loss. I also got a message that I shouldn't exceed a weekly weight loss of 2 lbs. so I'm figuring there's some wiggle room. I've reset my software program to a higher activity level and that adds 150 calories to my target but a full day in the yard & garden would still double my calorie target according to the website and that just seems counterintuitive to the whole notio...Monday's Reward
Tuesday, May 22nd 2007
I weighed in yesterday and lost 2 lbs. Perfect. With the first 2 lbs. I dropped with the 'false start' on Weight Watchers a few days before I started Calorie King, I've got all the reinforcement I need to stick with this.I got my first CK newsletter yesterday with a link to "10 Ways to Tame Your Appetite". I thought all of the tips were helpful but I really liked the fact that they included "Be Mindful" which fits with my yoga & meditation practices.

Sunday's Reward
Monday, May 21st 2007
I had a great morning at the park yesterday. First I actually got my sorry self over there before 9 with a surprising number of other cheap skates, most of them apparently runners. Anyway I got my reward right away.I crossed the road to the cabins and took the old 'trail' that cuts the corner to the main road. As I reached the rise just before dropping down to the road, I heard a mewing sound to my right which I thought was catbird. I tried to mimic the sound and it seemed to respond so ...
