just 10 more

Gotta run, just wanted to say 5 down!!!!!  as of this am.  Will add more later.

OK It’s later.  That 5 down is the challenge goal, btw for anyone not familiar, it is NOT my ultimate goal, which is still about 12 away.  It was lost between Nov. 9 and today, the 28th.  So that’s 19 days.  Why is what I’m doing now working; what am I doing different; can I keep it up???  The only major differences food wise is that I switched to oatmeal which is measured in a packet from cereal.  I think ramping up the exercise is what did it.  Remains to be seen if I can keep that up!!  Maybe 5 more by Christmas???  If I could do that, I’d be lower than my plateau that was behind the start of this blog!!  I’m going for it.  I’ve lost 5 lbs. in a month before, but never in 19 days.

Food today.  Bfsk: oatmeal w/ skim, V8, Tea w/skim……….snack: f.f. cottage cheese, walnuts…………lunch: bean salad, hot & sour soup,,,,,,,,,,,dinner: spag. w/ olive oil and garlic, about 1/3 of a Greek salad, 3 spoons of chocolate gelato………….Snack: 3 prunes

Exercise:  had to take A. to school, late start at gym……….treadmill: 3.23 miles w/ slight incline, just over a 5K (3.1miles), ladies lite aerobics……..I’m still wearing the pedometer, trying for 10,000 steps a day; currently @ 10,238

Will get on the scale again in a few days.  It’s funny, some weigh every day; I used to, and some put the scale away and totally ignore it.   Some go by clothes.  To each his own.  But the object here is to lose weight and it’s a just a “tool of the trade” so I think that to ignore it completely is kind of like trying to build a house w/o using anything to measure.  Scales are such love/hate things!!!!!

Sleep tight, chickadees!!!
