Sometimes, I take a few days away from blogging, and I come back and realize that I'm just a big whiner. I took each and every one of your wonderful comments to heart, and I agree. I agree, I agree, I agree.
I'm totally over-thinking, and making myself crazy in the process.
This weekend, I made good choices with food. I made the conscious decision to choose healthy foods in smaller than ever portions, and today? I'm 165 pounds. (woo!)
So, 14 pounds total down, and even though I still feel like I look the same as before, I imagine there are subtle differences. I can't see it in photos. I can't feel it in my clothes, at least not much. This is the hazard of wearing mostly stretchy clothes for years. Even my measurements are holding steady. So much for losing inches. I'm trying very hard not to let it bug me.
I'm embarking on a 10-day vigorous exercise challenge. I'm doing Leslie Sansone's 10-day challenge, which is a 4 mile walk-jog DVD every day for 10 straight days, plus I'm going to add in six days of weight training. I might not be able to lift my arms, or stand up from a sitting position for the next week and a half, but I'm going for it.
I'm challenging you guys to participate.
Whatever your regular exercise is, step it up. Add a mile to your walk. Wear ankle weights while you put laundry away. Do calf raises while you load the dishwasher. Make the next ten days active - more active than you would normally be, whatever that level is.
Leave me a comment and let me know what you are doing, and how you are going to step it up. Let's inspire each other!
This week's menu will be posted tomorrow, because I've already lifted weights today, and I think my arms might fall off if I type any more. Heh.
Go go go!
Hooray for you!
You need to update the weight on your virtual model!

Jenny, you are beautiful and I feel inspired! I will try to get back on track this next week. I know I need to, if only for the health of my soul!
I used to go to WW and the rule of thumb is that you really begin to see the health benefits and feet better when you lose 10% of your bodyweight. You are very close to that number and so, in theory, should really start to see and feel the difference in the next few weeks if you stay on track. I don't know if that helps.
Onward and downward!

I'm watching what i eat too, and for the next ten days I'm going to WALK during my lunch hour, even if it's only a little bit. I'm in a new office downtown and have NO EXCUSE to not explore the neighborhood.

Ooo, I love it when you challenge us! I will add a mile to my morning walk JUST FOR YOU!

Today was a complete loss. I've just been hanging out doing nothing. I've more or less been doing nothing. I can't be bothered with anything recently. I guess it doesn't bother me.

Not much on my mind right now. Today was a complete loss. So it goes. I've just been sitting around waiting for something to happen. I've basically been doing nothing , but I guess it doesn't bother me.

Home schooling provides a better education, is worse for your child

Pretty much nothing seems worth doing. I've just been letting everything happen without me these days. I've just been sitting around waiting for something to happen, but whatever.

Today was a complete loss, but oh well. I don't care. So it goes. Nothing going on , but shrug. Not much on my mind these days. Such is life.

My mind is like a bunch of nothing. I've just been letting everything wash over me lately. Oh well. Such is life.

I haven't been up to anything lately. I've just been letting everything wash over me recently. My life's been generally boring lately.

I haven't gotten anything done. Shrug. I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning. So it goes.
