Day 2

Wt. this morning - 166.0. Off to a relatively good start. Noticed yesterday that I really need to eliminate salt in my diet - my foot (the bad one) was pretty swelled by the end of the day. This is nothing new, I know that salt does not like me but the problem is - I really like salt. No exercise yesterday, just tried to control what I put in my mouth. Today will be a challenge as I didn't bring anything with me to work. If I get through lunch without fast food, the day will be a success.

Here we go

Ok, today is the day - last final at 1 and then it's weight loss time - Starting weight this morning - 166.8:(.

Weight loss

As I sit here at my desk, feeling stuffed from eating lunch, I think I need to start trying to lose weight again. I know I can do it - have proved it before - know what I need to do but just don't seem to have the ambition to actually do it. So I'll send this out into cyberspace and maybe if I actually read it in print, it'll sink in - so:

OK, I'm not fat but I could definitely stand to lose 10 pounds.

Maybe even 15

I admit that I was TOO thin when I was young but I'd like to at least weigh what I did when I was 9 months pregnant.

That would take 20 pounds.

It's really not that hard to lose the first 10.............don't eat lunch at work, or if I must, bring something from home.

Lots of salads - not so much dressing.

Veggies - love em - and just planted all kinds of them - that makes it even easier.

I'd have to give up my coffee creamer to lose the 20 - not so sure it'd be worth it - after all, we all have to have something to indulge in.

I could do the 15 easily enough if I'd start the tae bo again.  Billy is GOOD!

Need to make a plan and stick with it.

Plan it out in excel - daily food logs - weight loss goals and tracking sheets -

Look at it in black and white - EVERY DAY

Set a date to start - ok - Monday - after last final - will give me a couple of weeks to get into a routine before summer classes start. Gonna do it.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Reasons you should carry a camera..

Fwd: HINT OF THE DAY

An old man, a boy & a donkey

were going to town.

The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked.

As they went along they passed some people

who remarked "What a shame the old man
is walking and the boy is riding."

The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

Later they passed some people who

remarked "What a shame.... he makes that little boy walk."

So they then decided they'd both walk!

Soon they passed some more people

So, they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people

who shamed them by saying "How awful to
put such a load on a poor donkey."

The boy and man figured they were probably right,
so they decide to carry the donkey.

As they crossed the bridge,

they lost their grip on the animal
and he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story?

If you try to please everyone,

you might as well...
Kiss your ass goodbye!

Have A Nice Day And

Be Careful With Your Donkey
