• The Cookies, The Cookies!! Won’t they ever stop?

  Sunday, December 30th, 2007

  I am having a real hard time dealing with the concept of need and want. I do not need to eat anything else. My mind is craving sugar, and it wants cookies.

  I am full.
  I know I am full.
  But my mind wants cookies. And it won’t let me be until I succumb.
  Arrrgggghhhh….
  namaste.

• Just back from the gym

  Friday, December 28th, 2007

  And even though my weight hasn’t moved, I have increased my running vs walking time. Today I jogged a total of 6 circuits, which equates to 6/16th of a mile or just a little over 1/3rd of a mile. No great shakes when you see that The Princess jogged a mile in 10:40 which is [...]

• Well, that didn’t take long, now did it?

  Friday, December 28th, 2007

  Sugar has kicked my flabby butt once again. Did well all Thursday. Got home, was feeling a little peaked, made some egg salad and had that, thought the getting some protein and fat into me would make it all better.
  And then the damned cookies started talking to me. And I know that it is the [...]

• Planning my runs

  Friday, December 28th, 2007

  I am already looking for runs for The Princess and I this coming summer. I am thinking that the first one we will participate in will by the Jubilee Day run. This takes place the third Thursday in June every year. I don’t think that I will be ready for the 5k, though my trainer [...]

• Today is another day

  Friday, December 28th, 2007

  Back on the train.
  So what does it feel to weigh 300+ lbs? Every morning, when you get out of bed, everything hurts. Your back, your joints. The soles of your feet hurt from the amount of pressure you put on them every time you take a step.
  How does it feel to weigh 45 lbs less? [...]

• Living in castles, a bit at a time

  Friday, December 28th, 2007

  Christmas has come and gone. Everyone is happy and healthy. The dog just ate part of an almond joy bar. Life goes on in our household.
  When I stepped on the scale today I had lost another 2 lbs. This brings the total up to 47 lbs.
  Then we went and ate Christmas dinner. So much for [...]

• In which I drop more weight

  Friday, December 28th, 2007

  I just don’t know how much yet. I am estimating that it will be around 2-3 lbs because I am in that stage of my weight loss. At least I remember this from my last journey down Atkins lane.
  Today I was finally hot at work. I have been cold for the last few days. But [...]

• The gym is going to miss me for a few days

  Friday, December 28th, 2007

  I just can’t squeeze any more time out of the day. 24 seems to be the static number of hours, and I am using them all up right now.
  It will all be ok after we get through New Years. Then I can get on a regular, or as regular as my work schedule allows, schedule [...]

• Lurching around the track

  Friday, December 28th, 2007

  I would like to say that I went jogging tonight with my daughter. But it would be a lie.
  She jogged. I lurched. I managed to lurch the total of 1/16 of a mile before I had to speed up to a walk. Yes, that is 1/4 of a 1/4 of a mile. I hate math [...]

• I would rather jog my memory

  Friday, December 28th, 2007

  Than to jog, but I did just that this evening. Go jogging, that is. I have been stuck weight-wise for the past couple of weeks. I knew that I needed to get some exercise worked in besides work. So, I decided to start running.
  Besides having to train for next years 5k runs that my daughter [...]
