This week I climbed the stairs to my office every single day
except Thursday. (I took them down all five days, but I don’t consider that
making much of an effort.) Though I am extremely proud of myself for exceeding
my goal of every other day, I am terribly
embarrassed at how much I huff and puff by the top. I am out of shape.
But I am doing it for my belly. I want that son of a bitch
gone.
I was weighed at the doctor’s office on Wednesday whilst
checking off one of the items on my 2012 To-do list (Get tested for nut
allergy, CHECK.) and even without my boots the damn scale claims I’ve only lost
two pounds. TWO POUNDS. And I am hungry all the goddamned time. The whole thing
makes me cranky.
On another positive note however, I succeeded in putting down
1,300 words on my book last night. I think I am over the hump of that spot I
have been hung up on, but I sense my work becoming thinner. I really just want
to get this first draft down so I can move onto the second. It’s going to
resemble a skeleton book when I pass it around at ‘friends-are-for-reviewing’
time, but it’s going to have an end. I estimate early spring for this blessed
event, unless some kind of motivational miracle happens. At least winter is
forcing me indoors.
This weekend Husband and I are off to look at gyms to join.
We think, for some reason, that we would like to pick up the sport of racquetball.
Neither of us have ever played it. I’ll let you know how that turns out.

You shouldnt be hungry. Eat more filling good for you food. Like fiber and low fat protein. And 2 lbs in 1week is really good. Slow and steady wins the race....too fast is not healthy and less likely to stay gone.
Not to mention all scales are different a bit. I like to go by how i feel and my clothes more. Also try measurements to mark progress. Congrats on the progress so far, though i think you are fine the eay you are.
2lbs is really good! Any more than that is probably not sustainable unless you're on the biggest loser (which a. you're not big enough for and b. you don't have a trainer pushing you to tears everyday).
Are you allergic to nuts? I was just going to suggest almonds as a small healthy snack for when the hungry comes.
Sister L: What can I snack on for protien? Maybe just more fiber would be good. Thanks for your encouragement!!
Deidre: I haven't gotten the tests back but YES I think I have developed a nut allergy! My whole body gets itchy when I eat them. I don't know when it started but it sucks!!
You shouldn't be so hard on yourself - walking DOWN stairs is actually great for your leg muscles. Not so much your knees though.
PS I just tagged you (again) on my blog! http://www.decoybetty.com/2012/01/11-things.html
