aug.24/2010---another 10 days and two more lbs, yeah! that was a close one, too much eating out on the week-end and no walks. it hasn't been too hard to stick to my guns and still go out to eat, as long as i can stay away from the french fries i should be ok. tomorrow is grocery day. it's taking longer than ever because now i read all the nutritional info looking for calories, trans fat, saturated fat, salt, sugar, where it comes from, how it's packaged, man, pretty soon it'll be down to apples and maybe the occassional potato. oh well, punishment for all the years of eating whatever i felt like eating. so, here i go , ten more days and one more pound

first ten days

aug. 14/10--- ten days, eleven actually, and four pounds so far. woohoo, i'm on my way.a lot of work for four lbs, walking on my days off, no snacking at night when i get home from work, it's going to be a long long road ahead.but i just keep thinking -- all i need to do is lose one lb in the next ten days. off i go

fifty-by-fifty

aug.3-2010--- 481 days, that's when i will turn fifty.my friend has a list of what she wants to do before she turns fifty. i thought- maybe take yoga classes, then i pictured myself in those tight spandex outfits. or surfing lessons, but no, i'd have to wear a bathing suit. then i decided--- i want to lose 50lbs by the time i'm fifty. so i counted the days, 481, i was hoping for 500, actually i was hoping for 506 because i have two bags of chips to get rid of. that works out to one pound every ten days, plus an extra two . i'm not sure if i can do fifty lbs but i'm gonna try, one lb at a time. first step was buying scales, done, yikes-i guess i really can afford to lose 50lbs. so off i go, back in ten days hopefully at least one pound lighter---D
