Pacing
Wednesday, October 21st 2009
I was so dog-tired last night that I fell asleep as soon as I finished my after-dinner coffee. I might have had a fighting chance if the Angels had made it a game. I don't get to watch much baseball on TV until the postseason so I get disgusted with the one-sided match ups.Despite the dark skies this morning I think the rain is going to hold off. There's still a lot left to do in the yard & garden but I don't want to overextend myself when I'm cutting my calories so close to the bone. ...
To the Task
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 ...
How?

What happened? How did I regain more than 10lbs.? The short answer is that they were giving away ice cream. Or almost. Often this year a local supermarket has had Ben & Jerrys on sale for $2.50, often when Ive had a coupon to bring down the price to $2.00. If I hadnt felt guilty about the dairy farmers getting screwed out of a decent price for their milk I probably would have gained another 10.To make matters worseor betterthis supermarket is the only one in town that carrie...
A Successful First Week
Saturday, October 17th 2009
Although I rejoined CK on Wednesday I mark my start date as last Sunday and for the week I'm down 2lbs. I saw a number on the scale this morning that I haven't seen since May. Most important, I've flipped that switch in my head and I'm pretty much in weight-loss mode. It's also helped that it's been so freekin' cold that I'm not the least bit tempted by ice cream.The weather is moderating a bit though. I should be able to get out on a bike next week. And finish some yard & garden clea...
