Hello Pilates

I'm feeling like obstacles are constantly placing
themselves in my path. I woke up this morning with no
improvement on the blister situation, so I've decided to
spend a few days working on my Pilates technique, until
they completely heal. I know if I don't let them heal, I'm
just going to re-injure them and then I'll be out of the
race even longer than if I'd just let them heal. I'm going
to get me a really high-tech pair of walking shoes, too.
That way all of my bases will be covered. I stepped on the
scale this morning only to find 203 still staring back at
me. I'm hating this so much. I don't know what is stopping
my progress, but I've taken to convincing myself that I'm
still getting in shape, even if my weight isn't dropping
like I'd like it to. How long this motivational tactic
will work, I don't know.

Today is Annie's open house at school. I know going will
be a challenge diet wise, because they are serving ice
cream sundaes. I know my willpower to not eat ice cream is
strong, as long as no one tries to talk me into it. If I
have to endure peer pressure along with temptation, I
don't know how I'm going to do. I'm going to make sure
that when we go, I'm not hungry. Because, that will be the
quickest way to disolve my resolve. If I'm not hungry I'm
fully confident I'll be able to resist the urge, because
the urge for ice cream just hasn't been there lately. I'm
almost to my 3rd week of the bootcamp and I feel that I've
suffered through all the withdrawals I'm going to face.
Annie is so looking forward to tonight, so I'm looking
forward to it, because I get to see her happy. School is
something she loves very much and I feel blessed for that.
Not many children love school because they get to learn.
They love it because they get to be with friends and
recess. Annie loves all of those things too, but any
opportunity to learn something, is an even more happy
occasion for her. I'm very lucky.

I'm going to have breakfast now, I'm feeling the
beginnings of hunger pangs. I try to avoid feeling hungry
as much as possible, since it can weaken one's resolve.
Ciao.
