Summertime weight loss
Friday, July 10th 2009
Well, I am getting within swiping distance of my goal. You know there are, I read, two huge predictors of success in behavior change. One is knowing the change is necessary. The other is believing that you can achieve the change. I had serious, serious doubts about my ability to do weight loss. But I have actually lost over 25 pounds. And I know the challenge of maintenance looms. But wow! I can do it. So I am happy to be here, right now.I've made it through some company visits. ...
Wow!

I think the last time I blogged my weight had plateaued. I'm losing again, not great guns but enough to see progress. But I'm exercising a LOT! I know that it will be hard to do that much when I go back to school but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. My goal weight, 160, is in sight. I'll see how I feel when I get there but I may re-set my goal to 155. I like exercise now and that's good. My goals are to try to put some yoga and some swimming in the mix. Just to keep things mix...Welcome to Sunday

Well, I've lost some weight. People are beginning to notice. I'm doing pretty good.The once thing about calorie counting is that food seems to last forever so we had a clean out the fridge night and ate some stuff that was still good, chucked some other stuff. I went for a bike ride before dinner and the wind is out of the south I think it's about 10 to 20 MPH, the way it felt. So of course, I'm doing good to average 10 miles per hour but it's a good ride. If you are going to bicycle ...
Calorie counting as a way of life
Sunday, May 24th 2009
Right now, I'm counting calories and it's okay. You actually feel less secure eating out because you cannot get that feedback. I ask myself if I am going to count calories "forever". I actually don't know. I don't have to decide _now_. I hope I will. The whole thinkg of logging and weighing is tedious and keeps me tied to the computer but that instant feed-back on calories is pretty hard to mistake. I also can see that I am eating a pretty fat and calorie moderate diet right now...
