It's only 24 degrees here at the Jersey Shore...Burrr! I'm wearing workout pants under my dress pants to stay warm and I work in an office. The air outside is so crisp it stings my skin. How nice it would be to be be home with my wood-stove heating my house, curled up on the couch with a good book and a warm blanket.

I started logging calories for the first time in months today. I know I did better at disciplining myself when the calories consumed were staring me in the face, it just makes you stop and think...do I really want to waste calories on that??? Is there a better choice I can make?

I trained last night and of course Elle didn't disappoint, she totally turned up the heat. Especially when I pointed out that it appeared a female member was shadowing us...everything she had me do, this person was doing or doing right after I used the machine. It was weird. You work out the same time on the same days for months and you start to recognize people as familiars, she wasn't. After some particular difficult moves for me she finally gave up and went away. She really could have just asked if we minded rather than stalk us 45 of the 60 minutes.

Anyway, I have been a yo-yo with two pounds and need to get back under 180...focus...focus! I have to find that tunnel vision again.

It's funny to me how people don't remember me being as heavy as I was. Yesterday my boss saw the picture of the fatter me hanging in my cube with the caption "Remember me???" "Now put the cookies down!"
He was like "OMG I don't remember you looking like that...congratulations you must feel fantastic!" It was nice and we've known each-other for over 10 years so we can talk to each-other like that with no worries.

Anyway, I'm taking baby steps that hopefully grow into leaps and bounds again.

My quote for today...

Have a great day
