Friday weigh in

I'm a little bit psyched because this morning I weighed 199.8. It's also a loss of 2.6 pounds in a week that started out pretty high in the eating realm! I'm more than satisfied with the number today, and also relieved.

Now I'm hardly miles into Onederland, but it's my first time there since mid December, and there scenery looks great! Hoping for more, and it's going to happen. I'm not taking a break this week after the weigh in like I did last week. I'm going to keep food journaling with pictures because by some miracle it's helping me. And I'm loving doing it for some weird reason. I feel like an ace reporter doing research or something! My friend at dinner last night doesn't know about the blog, so I had to kind of stammer out a reason I was photographing my vittles (which is actually spelled victuals but I was afraid you might not know what I was talking about).

I walked about 2.4 miles yesterday afternoon and it felt good. I know I could have gone a good bit further, but with the dog being totally annoying and wanting to smell and pee on every blade of grass along the way, I was happy to cut it off. Today I think I'm going dogless. He'll get a quickie, I'll get a longie. Interesting that during the walk the knees feel good, but after wards for a few hours - they are stiff as boards. So I'm back to icing after walking, and adding back in an extra dose of nature's nectar, Ibuprofen. Thank goodness it helps. I'd gotten down to one dose a day in the morning thinking "a little dab'll do ya", but as I increase the movement, 2 dabs do me better.

Well, off to eat breakfast - gotta break out the TamCam. Have a good day fellow bloggers!

  1. My family all think I'm weird for taking pictures of my meals, but I did it one week for a blog post a while back about portions and I realized looking at them later that I was eating way too many fruits all through the day. It was a big eye opener because I couldn't figure out why the scale wasn't moving! Journaling and picture taking every once in a while really works for me too. I think because I KNOW I'm taking the pic of the plate, I'm more careful about getting the portions correct.

    So glad to hear I'm not the only one out there who has a daughter who can drive me insane lol! I'm sure it's something we will both laugh at when she's older and has her own kids.

  12. Yay for Onederland - glad you're back!

    I don't consider anything with my dog exercise because of that whole stop/start/sniff thing - but they do love getting out with us.

    Your post made me giggle throughout, what with quickie, longie, and nature's nectar (love me some Motrin, myself!) - thanks for the fun read!

  13. Now that's a result! Congrats! Onederland welcomes you back.

    I'm a big ibuprofen fan, too. And I have two sniffing, peeing, grass-chomping walk-delayers.

    Have a great weekend!

  16. I can feel your enthusiasm through cyberspace - totally relate to finding FUN in something that might seem silly to non-weight loss bloggers - but I certainly understand that it is a great project for you and really self reinforcing - tracking, visual, colorful, history, little picture/big picture, empowering.
