The First Hurdle
Friday, October 23rd 2009
I'm running on fumes and everything aches. I felt like I was racing the clock yesterday, which I was, so I spent over seven hours working in the yard & garden. Everything is in pretty good shape (only the garlic left to plant in a prepared bed) but now I'm in a tricky spot and today is going to be a test of will.I didn't see any change on the scales this morning so I don't have the motivation that a new low would have given me and I'm tired; typically this is when I'm tempted to curl u...
Food Inc.
Thursday, October 22nd 2009
If anyone is looking for another reason to think about what they're putting in their mouth and the mouths of their children they'll find it in "Food Inc." We saw it last night and even though I've read Eric Schlosser ("Fast Food Nation" ) and Michael Pollan ("The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals" ) the images in the film made their arguments even more compelling.More than the tragic story of a mother who lost her preschooler to E. coli...

Tuesday, October 20th 2009
No question about burning calories today. This is shaping up to be the best opportunity I've had, and may have for the season, to put the garden to bed and do general yard clean up. We see Himself (in the photo) almost every evening and he was out there again this morning. I hope I'm not gagging on the smell of deer all day.Wacky weather. Freezing temps yesterday morning and already above 50º/10º when I got up today.
Another Reason

Of course theres more to my regaining weight than ice cream and I think its important for the future that I make an effort to examine what happened.One thing Ive learned is that changes around me can have a bigger impact on my habits than Id realized.
Within a month after I let my CK membership expire in May 2008, my husband, who had been working from home for almost ten years, moved to an office downtown. I had the house to myself again and all sorts of freedoms restored; I ...
