okay okay will start blogging again as well. Had a good week for the most part - managed the challenges of attending a sales meeting with a limited menu. Then did probably eat a little more than I should. I have been much more active but am not expecting miracles on Tuesday. Oh well I just need to get myself focused and get it done!

Had a little blip last week and I gained, although it was somewhat deserved I didn't think it would be so much but oh well, the body does what the body does. The important thing is that I am definitely back on track. Have been walking daily the last few days. I did have a big breakfast out but wandered around WOTS for 2 hrs. I also had a light dinner to help balance my day. So we see how this week's weigh in goes. I hope to be rid of most of my gain, but am not expecting it all to be gone, that will be the following week. :)

Keep at it...it will come off. Your body is just adjusting. Follow the program and it will work eventually.

And I have to say thanks for getting me to join again. While I am mad at myself for letting my weight creep back up to within inches of my highest I am really happy I am taking steps to turn it around.

I am really focussing on the 8 healthy guidelines and slowly getting back into exercise. I am looking forward to enjoying being active again.

This aft I decided to take an errand and turn it into an exercise session. Had books to return to the library so instead of driving I walked and added a bit each way. It felt great and now I have my exercise for the day done.

Tomorrow I am going to try really hard to make myself go for a bike ride. It used to be one of my most favourite things to do and fall is a perfect time for cycling. I will report back tomorrow.

so finally figured out how to get back on this blogging site - well doing the ww thing with sister there - i am doing great in two weeks I have managed to gain 1 lb! who goes on a diet and gains weight???? i have been encouraged to keep following the plan and see what happens the next two weeks -- not as motivated as i was.

cheers - if only i felt like drinking a beer! okay will cheers my water glass.

2 Weeks in..

..and so far so good. I am slowly getting back into the exercise habit and it is starting to feel better already. Had a weekend with 2 food related events with stuff I really like and don't normally have but I think I did OK. A bit more than I had planned but less than if I hadn't been trying and still within my ww points. I also made myself go out for a walk tonight to help offset some of the food (i.e. the cheescake ). I did want to go but then was getting comfy on the couch and almost talked myself out of it but I made myself get up and out the door by giving myself the option of just doing a short walk. Well once I got going with my ipod on I did end up doing my longer route. It felt great and I am glad I went. Weigh in tomorrow so I will see how this week went....either way it is Ok. It is what happens over the long term that matters and I know I am doing the things I need to do to be successful in the long run.
