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.

Back at it.......

Well we re-re-re-re-re-joined Weight Watchers this past Tuesday, and so far so good. It is definitely helping me get more activity in, in fact I finally went for a swim today. I really enjoyed it and may even go again tomorrow. Also, as the temperatures start cooling off the timing is perfect for some walks or hikes through the trails. There are lots of nearby options, I don't have to keep walking the same old street routes. I think it is time to start discovering some new walking routes that are a bit more scenic.

Got another walk in again today. they have been shorter walks but hey at least I am getting out there right???
