Day 161

Oh man, I'm getting bad at this. I haven't been tracking my food as much on Sparkpeople.com. I still try to log in everyday to keep me at least thinking about it. This morning the scale read 258lbs.

On Monday we are heading out camping for 10 days, so I won/t be posting or tracking my food. I'm keeping that in mind as I make up our menu and start gathering our food. I'll be trying to keep it as balanced as I can.

Day 156

A crappy day today. One of Kathryn's classmates passed away last night. And that just sucks.

Today the scale read 258lbs. Yesterday it read 257.4lbs. It's nice to see those numbers. But today, I just don't care.

Day 153

So this getting up in the morning and walking thing hasn't really been going all that great. But I continue to try to track my food. Even if I don't I have been very mindful  of what I am eating. And the efforts seem to be paying off. Over the weekend the scale dipped to 257lbs. But this morning it was back at 258.6lbs. But I'm OK with that. Summer is coming, and I am so excited! Camping and outdoor fun galore. I was planning the camping menu today. I'm going to have to be careful and try not to indulge too much on the treats so as not to set myself back too far. I think I can do it. I'm liking the direction the scale is going too much to mess this up badly now.

Day 146

Scale read 158lbs at 7am. I must be in some alternate reality. I guess it's really paying off to be really careful about what I am eating. I hope I can keep it up.

Day 146

Well hello friend! Today the scale read 259lbs. That is a new first. Don't know really what I did to deserve that. Hope it sticks around though, at least for a little while, and then I'd like to see some of his friends, 258, 257....etc.

Day 145

I'm in such a funk. I just can't seem to find my getup and go. Not only that, but I just don't seem to care. And I'm kinda mad at myself for not caring, but not enough to make myself care. I am still trying to track my food. I usually do breakfast and lunch, and I am concious about what I am eating for supper, but often don't enter it in on sparkpeople. The good news is that I am not gaining any weight. This morning at 7am the scale read 260.4lbs. So I'm still sitting at the same place. It's kinda hard to believe that anything would be different if I were up at at it every morning, since during my last 100 days the numbers refused to budge despite my best efforts at getting up and getting going. Maybe that's part of my problem right now....I don't know, and I kinda don't care.

day 141

Wow, I've got really bad at this posting every day thing. Life is busy and the weather has been beautiful. We've been spending a lot of time outside in the garden, the yard or out for little walks with the littles. That must be why I don't spend as much time on the computer posting. I also have a couple of posts in draft form on my other blog. I guess I need a rainy day so I can get caught up. I have been trying to remember to track my food and most days I do pretty good. I'm still hovering around the 261lbs for weight. Some days it's less some days it's more. If I could just get in the groove and get my exercising act together, I might be able to make some real progress. I know I keep saying that, and I don't know why it is that I just can't seem to get it all together, I really do want success. I haven't ever heard back about my blood test to see if there was a thyroid problem. I guess maybe I should call the doctor's office today and see if there is anything to know.


Today, the scale read 261.8lbs at 7:30am.
