LAST BLOG POST

I was weighed on Tuesday as I have a Girl Scout commitment this weekend.  My weight was up.  :(  Though today my weight is 3 pounds less than it was just on Tuesday, it would still not be enough to meet the minimum, even if I lost a pound or 2 by Saturday.  I am very slowly losing weight, and plan to continue to lose it.  I will be joining the next Zumba session at the Perry CFC starting in May.

Weigh-in

Not going to be a great weigh in for me- was unable to exercise for over 3 weeks in March, so by my scale I've only lost 1 pound. We'll see what the scale at noon says!

Walking

What a difference finally being able to get out and walk makes!  I walked for just 1 mile and took off the weight that snuck on for Easter.  The weather continues to look good for walking, and I like the Everbody Walk app from Kaiser Permanente for my phone.  Looking good for the weigh-in on Saturday!

EASTER CHALLENGE

I stayed strong through the Girl Scout cookie season!  I did not eat multiple boxes of Do-Si-Dos (though I did have one).  Plans to return to the gym on a regular schedule haven't seen the light as the kids' activities are picking up with the change in sports seasons.  Hopefully after Spring break their schedules will become consistent so I can block out what time is for me.  The bigger challenge this weekend will be to keep to proper food portions, and out of the Easter candy goodies!

still sick

Can't wait to get well enough to hit the gym.  At least I have not wallowed in comfort food and gained weight...but I haven't lost anything either.  J

illness and diet

If this sinus infection can get me under 180, I am actually going to appreciate this misery later.  I am not hungry - cannot taste anything, so I have not eaten any Girl Scout cookies.  I ate yesterday only because my stomach began to growl, and since I didn't "need" to eat for taste, I ate for vitamins.  Hopefully I can continue to do so when healthy!

Comfort food challenge

Head colds really cause a desire for comfort food - I am barely hungry, but would love to eat a box of Girl Scout cookies.  So I ate a balanced breakfast instead (cooked, so it was warm and comforting) and will save the cookies for when I can actually taste them (in moderation of course!)
