dec.23--- oh, yeah, another almost 3 lbs, 2.8 to be exact. i'm very happy to say that i'm at the halfway mark. i just hope the next half goes as ,well, not easy, but quickly. i've asked santa for a little bit more energy because i know already that i'll be eating more over the holidays so i need to burn more off somehow. somebody snuck in and left shortbread cookies, coconut macaroons, peanut brittle and magic bars in my kitchen. evil, evil i say. not to mention the three bags of my most favourite potato chips. i hope i get lots of company. if not, the people i work with might be well fed after christmas. i could freeze it of course but then it's still there where i can hear it. i think i better ask for more willpower too before it's too late. - here's to the next ten days and , by some christmas miracle, another lb gone - D.

dec 13.- a bit better this time. not quite a lb, point 8 but at least it's going in the right direction again. i'm trying to adjust to my new 8 hr shifts. not used to working everyday. i think it will take time to get used to, i'd  like to get on the treadmill each day before or after work eventually, for now though i'll be happy with a couple times a week. it's like starting over and getting into a new groove, which, as soon as i do i'll probably change shifts again. oh well, always something new. - here's to the next ten days and another pound (hopefully) gone. - D.

dec.2/10

dec 2 - it's not good. no loss this time, in fact, i gained .2 lb. not 2lbs- point 2 which is almost like staying the same.i thought being on vacation for two weeks would be good. get on the treadmill everyday. but that didn't exactly happen. so, back to work yesterday. maybe eating at reguler times and getting to bed early will get me back on track. here's hoping, ten more days, one more lb. - D

nov. 22 - another lb, yeah. i'm on vacation now and not eating as much through the day, but, sadly, snacking more at night. i seem to eat better when i'm working. i guess it's partly because i put things in smaller containers which might be a good idea for eating that way at home too. i've also started taking yoga classes.wow, it's hard but i like it. i'm trying to go as much as i can during my vacation to see if i can pick it up enough to follow a dvd. so far i'm not too confident. early days. still on the treadmill too. alternating between the two is a nice break. i'll see if it helps any in ten days time. - another ten days, another lb - D.

nov 13 - a day late but a lb lighter. not quite to the halfway mak yet but hopefully before christmas. that will be the hardest thing, getting through the holidays safely. i'm a little ahead of schedule losing fifty by fifty, but i'd hate to slip too much. if i keep on the dreaded treadmill and stick to the endless bowls of cabbage soup i might squeak through. i guess i'll have to give away most of the shortbread cookies and peanut brittle. or, perish the thought, not make them at all ! no, some things have to be done for the holidays. still lots of time before then to work on the next few lbs. so off i go - another ten (now nine) days another lb gone-D.

nov.2/2010

nov.2 - yes,yes,yes! another (almost) 4lbs. that makes a total of 21lbs so far.creeping up to the half way mark. i still don't really see a difference but some of my jeans feel a little loose. i've officially moved from "obese" to "overweight". not exactly something to brag about. it's awful how the weight goes on so easy but takes so long to get off. if you had to work that hard to gain , i'm sure most of us would be in better shape.oh well, that's how it is i guess. so, ten more days to get closer to the half-way point. off i go -D.

oct. 24/2010

oct.24 - another lb, this one wasn't easy.another all-you-eat buffet, ohhh. that's gotta stop. but i was pretty good, lots of salad, some fish and turkey and very little dessert. still it's way too much food at one time. then today we had pizza at work and i had a piece. that's because i weighed myself this morning. now i have ten more days to work it off. i should be able to as long as i stay away from the buffets. ten more days, one more lb.
