Good habit

I need to get back into the habit of walking home from work. It doesn't take that much longer to walk than it does to tram. But it takes mental energy and planning. I need to pack all the essentials to walk and get to and from the office to get my gear there. Basically, lots of excuses but no good real reasons.

What if I start small?

Right now I am walking on Tuesdays.

I am going to add Thursdays.

Two days a week is doable!

Celebrating the little things

Because I am unwilling to change my life so that I can continue to lose weight, I am now celebrating when I make a better choice than I would have in the past. For example, when I went for burgers the other night, I had a veggie lentil pattie. And when I went to the races yesterday, I didn't eat the entire plate of desserts. (Yes, I would have in the past.)

It is very representative of where I am right now. I am still indulging but just not as much. So, I am overweight, but just not as much.

Motivation Monday

I just saw Reservoir Dogs for the first time....but the message is right!

This was my thinnest day - last summer

Paula and I at the Reds game.

I felt really healthy and great.

I need to FEEL it again.

If you see me ask me if I am feeling thin.

Sunday Weigh In

Lost .2.
Still living in weight loss denial.

I thought endorphins were suppose to make you happy?

For our sixth week in a row, we tackled sprints at the Tan today. But we had a bit of an odd experience and every time I think of it, I get more and more angry.

The short version is that a crabby, old man yelled at Penny and I for standing in his way. (We were in the normal spot that everyone stands in.) Since he perceived that we were in his way, he got in Penny's way when she was doing sprints and wouldn't let her pass. (Tim is re-enacting the encounter in the picture.)

Who does that?
Why isn't he happy he is outside and burning calories?
It makes me want to commit to being happy to exercise.

Funny Friday

I'm putting this meme up, not only because Caddyshack is a very funny movie, but because every time I get sick, I am always so excited that I have lost weight.
