1.8 lbs down since January 1st. I’m still eating less than 2000 carbs but my steps are still under 10,000. That treadmill is still downstairs giving me those ill feelings. I still can’t bring myself to get on it. I will soon but I’m going to have to have some major incentive, I’d rather be on my bike.

I posted back in December that I was starting over. It didn’t work. I failed. Just too many food items to contend with. I decided to start again with the new year. Today is the 2nd day of my diet and I’ve done pretty well. I’ve kept my calories down below 2000 but my steps have not been up to par. I’m going to work on that. I haven’t lost any weight yet but that’s because I haven’t exercised to amount to anything. I’m looking at my treadmill and I just can’t get excited about it. I just can’t wait until warmer weather so I can get out and ride my bike. I hate being cold. Next week winter will officially hit here in the deep south. It will be in the single digits come Monday and Tuesday morning. I shiver just thinking about it.

The weather was finally warm enough to take a small ride this afternoon. I think the temperature got up to around 53 degrees so I decided I’d take advantage of the wonderful sunshine and take a spin. Although the temp was around 53 it was still cold doing 15 or so mph. I don’t own any cold weather gear so my upper body got quite chilly. I got 15 miles in before calling it done. Probably the last time I’ll get in a ride this year. I can’t wait until spring.

Very moving.
To Autumn,
Junior high school was something, huh? To anyone else, I would have been nothing more than a loser, lunching all alone at my Table of Solitude. But, not to you. Since I had found myself to be the odd one out, you were the first to invite me in from the cold shoulders and demeaning air that stirs around one of those empty tables.
You sat with the bad kids, but you never belonged there. No, I don’t know how you ended up there. A gorgeous amethyst cast before swine. With courage and healing, you touched me, brought me in from the cold. With that single touch, you brought my eyes to you. But, whenever you glanced my way, I was shy and turned away.
I remember the day I sat across the table from you. We were surrounded by the others, too. When my drink slipped down…

For the most part it was successful. I did not reach my 10000 steps. Most weekends I do not get near that goal. It’s a challenge for me to get it during the week bu achievable.
I had a bag of popcorn just before 7 pm and I had one peanut butter cookie that my daughter had made the other day. I did have one soda and one container of strawberry yogurt.
I did not get on my treadmill nor my trainer today, I spent the majority of my day installing a garage door opener. I will finish that job tomorrow.
I kept my calories down well below 2000 but I’m craving something to eat right now. I am very proud of my self for not eating at Jack’s Hamburger this morning. I had a meeting with a scout parent there this morning and he and his son ate biscuits and grave right in front of me. I waited until I got home and had my cereal with 2 percent milk.

I’m really excited about today. I have decided to take my life back and start loosing this weight again. Since it’s become cooler I haven’t been able to get outside and ride. It’s no excuse though because I have both a bicycle trainer as well as a treadmill and I haven’t been on but a few times.
I’ve set new goals that I think I’ll be able to achieve.
1. No sweets
2. 10,000 steps a day
3. 2,000 calories or less a day
4. Use the treadmill and bicycle trainer at least three times a week
5. Cut out soft drinks.
7. Nothing to eat past 7 pm
I want to loose at least 10 pounds by the end of February.
Today’s starting weight is 287 pounds.
Short Term Goal 277 pounds by February 28th
Long Term Goal 225 pounds by January 2015
Wish Me Luck.
