CellarDweller:
Well, I really need to kick it this year.
It's been over a month since I weighed myself, and I finally decided to face the music and get on the scale.
I've been eating all horrible stuff and doing almost no exercise.
So I'm back up to 225. Bad news. Good news is that I can do this, and I stopped myself before I got any further. I'm going to watch what I'm doing the next few days, and then really get into it for the new year.
I want this year to be the year I hit that goal.
southendmd:
Bummer, Chuckie!
Holiday eating sucks for sure.
I gained a bit while travelling, then lost it while being sick. So, I broke even and am holding steady.
During the holidays, I tend to overcompensate and not eat as much. I tell people I have a "no sweets" policy when there's lots of stuff around.
I gotta back off on the carbs again. As for exercise, since I know I will never join a gym, I got a city-apartment-sized elliptical, along with the free weights. We'll see how that goes.
My current goal is to lose another 10 before Alberta.
Monika:
Ok, I will have to get on this train too. I must lose weight before Alberta too since I wanna do more hiking this year.
That´s just how it is. :-\
I hate dieting
Lynne:
I keep losing track of where I was when I started, so I guess I'll have to plough through this thread if I want to figure it out. Since I originally said I needed to lose 50 lbs, my theory is that I've made no progress or gained 10.
In absolute numbers, I weigh about 198 lbs and should weigh 140...so 58 pounds to go.
I'm starting the new year off with that Couch Potato to 5K Program. I am having delusions that I am going to run the 5K at the annual AIDS Action Committee Walk the first Sunday in June. (Mark your calendars - you are all cordially invited!!!)
8)
I've spread the six week program over a little less than six months and so far so good. I figure if I make it, I will have accomplished something HUGE personally. And if I don't, I can always go as far as I can go and walk the rest.
In an interesting turn of events, and completely separate from my little plan, many women from my sorority with whom I've reconnected via Facebook, are training for the St. Jude's marathon in Memphis in December. Our sorority (which I feel more a part of now than I ever did then) has had a bad year with cancer. One sister (Joanne) died from kidney cancer earlier this year; another has just finished treatment for breast cancer and is undergoing reconstructive surgery (Carol). I think the impetus and inspiration for the run is Carol, who ran cross-country at Sewanee and ran all through her chemo treatments.
I said 'Count me in.' So we'll be Team Alpha Delta Theta or Team Sewanee, depending on who else we pick up along the way.
In any event, there's going to be lots of support around the running, and in this particular case for me it's more about reconnecting with some of them than actually "finishing".
