My Life Thus Far
So Far - So Good
Day Three on the health kick and so far-so good. I went
for an hour long walk today and it felt really good. I was
sweating like a pig and exhausted when I got home (it was
85 degrees today and we live on the top of a 45 degree
hill). But, it felt good getting out and doing something.
I know that it's going to take time to see the results I
want, but I had to start somewhere. Three days ago I
stepped on the scale and I'd gained 3 more pounds,
bringing me to a grand total of 215 pounds. That was
absolutely the last straw. I seemed to have this mentality
that I couldn't get any bigger than I already was, but I
was completely wrong. If I hadn't changed what I was
doing, I only would have gotten bigger. I got on the scale
today and I'm back down to 212 pounds. I don't intend to
weigh myself every day (that can be depressing, since
weight can go up and down day by day), but I expect to see
improvement, because I'm going to do what it takes to see
it. Even if I fall off the wagon, I'm going to jump right
back on. Last night we went to the Olive Garden and I ate
a ton of breadsticks, but I didn't let that stop me from
doing the right thing today. MAN, MY STATE OF MIND IS GOOD!
I made a rather healthy dinner tonight. Pork fajitas with
different colored peppers, onions and 98% fat free
tortillas. Snookums thought they tasted good, and so did
I. We also had a lovely salad on the side with fat free
ranch dressing. God, my life sounds boring compared to
other people, but I'm just glad I'm happy, because for so
long I wasn't. It's hard work being sad all of the time.
