july 30 - 2011

july 30 - oh dear, didn't lose anything this time, pretty much stayed the same which is ok i guess. i have to admit i didn't go all out so as always i plan to try harder in the next ten days. tonight is my last night shift for another month, hallaluya.  (don't think i spelled that right) it's still summer, maybe some trips to the beach are in order. i keep missing the yoga classes that they have on the beach, that would be awesome. anyway, one more night - i think i can, i think i can. ten more days, one more lb - i know i can, i know i can!
later - D.

july 20 - 2011

july 20 - 2 more! yeah. finally. it seems like i was stuck for soon long i was about to give up but i might be back on track now, a little bit anyway. the weather is much better, the rain has stopped for a few days and today i'm sitting outside with my coffee (black) enjoying every minute before i go to work tonight. i went to a heated yoga class the other night, i'm pretty sure that's where i left those two lbs in a big puddle on the floor. whatever works. now i'm sweating it off in the garden instead. so off i go to plant some more flowers.
back in ten - D.

july 10 - 2011

july 10 - sooooo close, 1 1/2 lbs, couldn't quite make it 2 lbs but i'm happy with that. it's all good. i love this time of year when the strawberries are out, then peaches, fresh tomatoes and all kinds of goodies. it makes cutting back a bit easier when you can have a handfull of fresh berries as a snack instead of cookies.maybe i'll get me some strawberries tomorrow, yum.
ten more days, how many more lbs? - D.

june 30 - 2011

june 30 - oh my, not good, i gained a lb. i get so close then i slack off the treadmill and eat a bit more than i know i should, why do i do that? such a lack of discipline. it sucks even more when you have no one to blame but yourself. i still feel good though and i know i can do better. i WILL lose two lbs in the next ten days if it kills me. i hope anyway.
back in ten - D.

june 21-2011

june 21 - yeah, almost 3lbs, 2.8 to be exact. i'm only 9 away from 50- now i think i can do it. i've got all kinds of new summer clothes because last year's don't fit. well today it's officially summer but i'll still stick to jeans  til it feels like summer. last night i did heated yoga for the first time. i think i melted at least two of those lbs away. tonight i'm going out for supper before work so i'll have to be extra careful not to put them back on. oh well, little treats.
back in ten, at least 1 lb lighter, hopefully - D.

june 11 - 2011

june 11 - no change. i did go up a lb or so over the ten days but as of this morning i'm the same as last time. a bit disappointing but it could be worse. i've started doing some different exercises now after i finish on the treadmill. apparently sit-ups are the way to work off a bit more around the middle. i'm not very good at doing those but i'll try for a bit. if it works, it'll be well worth it. two more weeks then my hours will change at work, back to 12 hr shifts. that will be interesting packing extra lunches again. it's easy to just take a light lunch but being there for 12 hrs i need a little bit more. i see lots of salads in my future, yum. -

june 1-2011

june 2- the 2 lbs from vegas are officially gone, now back to where i was. i feel like i haven't been exercising as much as i should because now it's gardening season. honestly i don't know how people find time to do it all, i sure can't. but at least when i'm outside i am pretty active and there's no food.so i'll know in ten days if it's as effective as the treadmill . i hope so because it's way more fun- back in ten - D.
