What Does It Take?
Thursday, April 13th, 2006For some reason, I just don’t seem to have the willpower to control my eating. My present work environment doesn’t help, either; everyone loves to eat in my office and I think I’ve gained 20 lbs in the 20 months I’ve worked there. They’ve always got some kind of chocolate, donuts, bagels, or […]
Progress
Thursday, April 13th, 2006A little walk/run here and a little bike ride there. A couple days ago, I did a 1.42 mile workout: the walk to the Middle School and back along with a complete lap of the track - a complete lap that I jogged the entire way! That’s the first time I’ve made a […]
Keep On, Keeping On
Sunday, April 9th, 2006Today I went biking twice: 1.6 miles with my oldest daughter and 2.9 miles with my husband (to the local Subway to get a sandwich for lunch). I’ve also registered for another online training journal at http://www.entryworks.com/EW_TLogs/login_user.cfm. This is a good one because it tracks multiple sports, not just biking or running, so […]
Harder and Harder
Sunday, April 9th, 2006The more I try to watch my food intake, the harder the task. Watching my calories tends to make me obsess about eating. At the moment, I seem to have no self-control, and I’m still eating much more than I need.
I’m also finding that my stomach is doing odd things; either it ‘growls’ […]
Balancing Act
Sunday, April 9th, 2006The past couple days have not been great, exercise-wise, though I did get quite a bit of work done at my job and managed to clean out two closets at home (throwing away about ten bags of trash) so that my oldest daughter has somewhere to stash her stuff for the moment. Five adults […]
I Can’t Believe I Ate The Whole Thing
Wednesday, April 5th, 2006Some of you may remember the old commercial for some stomach remedy where a person commented “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” while holding their poor distended stomach. While I didn’t eat my whole dinner last night, I did eat so much that I’m still feeling the aftereffects of a sore stomach, […]
Exercise History
Wednesday, April 5th, 2006This morning I got a good stretch of the legs on a 2.23 mile roundtrip walk. My route took me east to several blocks, north several more blocks, along the street near one of the local elementary schools that my kids attended, and back up the street by our recently vacated “old” hospital and […]
Beginning Again
Tuesday, April 4th, 2006Coming up with a name for this blog caused some real problems. Most of my original ideas were already taken: Excess Baggage, Losing 4 Life, etc. I wonder how many other people are sitting at their computers writing thoughts similar to mine about their lack of control over food? How many other […]
Tracking Back
Tuesday, April 4th, 2006Due to the time change, I wasn’t able to get myself up for a morning jog yesterday. I set my alarm for 5:00am and just couldn’t see going out in the dark (and wet) morning in order to run around the track. Now that the sun is out later, I’m going to have […]
Scrambled Spring
Sunday, April 2nd, 2006We have “sprung forward” again and the day is now one hour later than it would have been yesterday…I just hate losing part of my weekend that way. The work week is long enough without giving up part of the weekend to get back to the office.
Why do I bring this up? I’m […]
