Got on the scale this morning, 223. Gain of 3 pounds since Saturday. Ugh... gotta stick with reduced portions and stop dreaming of potato chips!
"Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin" is an article shared with my boss this morning. She's a bit of a masochist in my opinion and ran her first marathon two months ago, on an injured hip bone and after her Dr said "no". She flew to Texas for the run, complained it was poorly organized, very hot, not nearly enough water, and one person died during the race. She invited me to a boot camp training on Saturday morning at 7:00am about 25 miles from home. No thanks. My focus is to reduce portions, and mildly increase movement throughout the day. We are built to continue to move through out the day as oppossed to sitting at a desk then have a huge burst of physical exercise. There will be setbacks, as with any endeavor. Keeping my hopes up, and drive.
Tonight is a party with old friends, food will be served. Tend to have a great time at these gatherings, hang around and be one of the last to leave, and snack plenty during the evening. Going to hold it down to smaller portions. Realize that inhibitions creep up when with the old friends, the enablers. If it gets difficult I can leave after 60 - 90 minutes. Got places to go, people to see... books to read, and ukes to practice. :)
Wow- so much in a short blog.
ReplyDelete1. three pounds is a set back but not huge. That could be one dinner. Anyway, those three pounds are in the past. Tomorrow is a new day-- just focus.
2. Bosses invitation to hell. Skip it. I would opt for smaller portions vs. punishment.
3. Have a great time at the reunion. Just remember that whatever you put on you have to work to take off. Moderation
