My scale is showing downward movement this week! Even though the official weigh in is this evening-I'm feeling confident and energized. This was not a perfect week-what with two social events over the Halloween weekend. But that's life, right? Balance and moderation is what I'm striving for-not radical results. So, yes, I ate that hot dog. With no regrets. But I also said no to Halloween candy and made some deliberate low cal/fat choices at the grocery store. BTW-the double fiber bread has low calories/points (2 slices for 1 pt!!!). So this week I plan to continue tightening the metaphorical belt and trying to eat with deliberation and planning and to avoid exhausted over eating.(That is soooo easy to write- but a b*tch to put in action!)
I have also found two weight loss blogs that are inspiring (check out the list on the right). Christy from Seattle has really piqued my interest, however. She walks all over Seattle and takes pics of different locales-and boy, is Seattle a quirky, diverse city! When I visit her blog, I feel like I've BEEN somewhere! Which made me think about my own city and neighborhood. And the digital camera that Mr B bought for me. So I'm thinking about taking Sunday afternoon walks around the local greenway and each week starting at a different point. And of course snapping pics as I go. Not only do I get the benefit of exercise-but I become more aware and connected to my surroundings. Looking OUTWARD-as opposed to all this inward reflection from the past year-just feels so liberating and invigorating.
So I'm gonna get Mr B on board with my plan. Which means that I will probably have to make a deal to be his s*x slave-but, hey, I guess that burns calories too.
Hope you have a great Get Off Your Ass Tuesday!!!
