My number for today is 171.6. I'll take it!
I'm off to do a Pilates dvd.
Let's get out there and lose.

Wendy's Weigh In
Yes, I could think of no better title than that. Today the scale said:
179.5
Not bad, considering. But it's so ridiculous that I'm basically just maintaining instead of losing. I've been fluctuating around this number for about a year now. The ridiculous part is I know exactly what to do and how to do it and I just don't.
So. We begin again. This weekend I need to work on strength training and diet. I'm doing ok on cardio, or I was, until it snowed. I'm not walking to and from work in that!
It's still snowing, by the way. I'm pretty sure we're going on 20 hours straight. But annnnyway -- a loss! Hooray!

Jessie as a redhead
Yesterday I was out sidewalk chalking. Yeah, I do that all the time. Anyhow, my five-year-old neighbor invited himself to join me. He's really cute. I taught him how to draw stick figures. He got really good at it.
This is his second attempt at a stick figure. I asked him if he was drawing a puppy with big ears. "No, I'm drawing you."
It's touching, really.
Do you like my new haircut? Also, I'm in the market for clothes.

What have I always said is the most important thing? Breakfast.*
This morning I ate before I weighed myself. Combine that with my sedentary weekend and I'm at 172.8. Bah.

I Saw This One Coming
I gained. I'm now back at:
180.5
But really, I’m not surprised. It was Conference weekend, so I spent at least 8 hours sitting in front of a tv/computer. It didn’t help either that I was feeling pretty low about a couple of things and had homemade caramel popcorn and other weekend treats at hand to console me.
I know - Food should not be my comfort. Why? Well, because of all kinds of psycological reasons. But even more so because I go to it for solace and this is what it does to me! Gah!

Friday weigh-in
My number:
172.2. A tiny step in the right direction.
I've been more dedicated to making time in the morning to exercise. This weekend I need to get healthy snacks to have around the house.
Little Triumphs
Today the scale said:
178.5
Hooray! A loss! Even despite the cake and brownies I snuck this week. (Yes, I still have a lot of work to do on my diet.)
BUT! I was really proud of myself last night. I had made pan of brownies and, as always, thought, "I'll just have one, and then give the rest to my neighbors!" But it had been two days and between Jared and I, a whole row was gone. Jared had a busy day and left me home alone last night… with a woe-is-me attitude and a pan full of brownies.
Normally, I would wallow in my misery by eating one… or two… or four. But yesterday I pulled out the little plastic bags, emptied the pan into them, and dropped them off at our neighbors. I was really tempted to keep the last four when #5 didn’t answer. But I didn’t! I pulled out a post-it note and left them on the doorstep.
Sure that seems like a stupid little step to have made, but to me, it's a giant leap.
