About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

Wednesday Weigh-In

New Years Challenge @ Shrinking JeansWell, I was certainly hoping for a bit more, but a pound gone is a pound gone!

I stuck reasonably well to my eating plan, though my "half" days were a little closer to "normal" days than they should have been...  :P

My two fasting days were successful, but I think my main problem now is that because I work most of the day, 4-5 days a week, I don't have time for my customary, daily 2-mile walk.  Even when I technically have time after work and before the girls get home from school, I'm flying around, catching up on things I couldn't do during the day.  In the mornings, it's still far too dark.

And, of course, this week, it's been just a little too cold ~ even for this hardy prairie Canadian!!

I walk in virtually any weather (I avoid wet roads though ~ ours are all gravel roads and they get really mushy and disgusting and wreck my runners after a bit of rain or in the spring thaw), but I draw the line once the windchill factor pushes the temperature lower than about
-30C/-22F.  This week, it's been hovering in the -37C/-35F range, so I wouldn't have been out there even if I'd been home all week!

So I'm still not quite sure what to do about the walking, but I know even without that, as long as I stick to the eating plan, I will continue to lose.

Just maybe not quite as fast as I'd like to!

I just did a double take on those temperatures -- HOLY COLD!

Too bad shivering didn't burn more calories!

Congrats on your loss!
