Weigh in day

August 22, 2007

Weight: lost last week -.5 (-3.5/5) 2nd mini goal
Weight: lost this week – 2 lbs (-.5/5) 3rd mini goal
Good weight loss this week. Now on to the next mini goal. I am in the process of re-reading TBDS, and I surprised at the difference in what I ’see’ on this reading. What is nice is that I have found out that the things I thought I never could do… well, that was just faulty thinking.

frustrated posting to other blogs

August 21, 2007

I’ve been trying to post to other blogs (Like foodluv and homemaking…), but I can’t get google/bloger or any of the other choices to let me post. I used to creat a ‘new’ account each time with the same password, now I can’t even do that. I’d enjoy giving several bloggers support comments, but think I’ll stop trying for a while. I’m posting daily over at ‘Peertrainer’, in the Mind Over Matter group. I’m going to begin a second round of 6 weeks going through the book, and work on getting the Responses as close to the automatic level as I can. I’m working on my 3rd ‘mini goal’, and have noticed a wonderful change in the way I think about pre-planning my food. Now, when ‘life happens’, and I don’t preplan… it feels strange. Guess that’s what changing a habit is all about. I’ll be back here in about a week, so I hope everything is going well for everyone.

stayed the same this week

August 12, 2007

My weight stayed the same this week, but my activity level has gone up. I started a Salsa class on Friday night, and ended up sweating like the proverbial pig. Had lots of fun, and am looking forward to next class. On Saturday I got the Recreation Center catalogue for the fall and was excited to see that Tai Chi is being added to the classes. I used to take Tai Chi from a wonderful teacher in south Denver, but the drive became daunting when I moved, so I stopped. I can tell my balance is not as good as it used to be, so this is something I really need to do. Now that I’m getting better sleep, thanks to new pillows and a new mattress, and working in activities that are fun as well as physical, maybe that dreaded “E” portion of any diet equation will not be so daunting.
