lose 43 pounds

Weighed myself the other day, according to the scale I used, I have now dropped another 2.8 kilos, or about 6-pounds. Wow.

I still eat well, mostly healthy food in healthy amounts, and plenty of water.

My job is within biking distance, plus it involves farm work, lifting and carrying stuff, and running around making sure teenagers are behaving well.

Well, I lost ten pounds, gained five, lost seven, gained four or five pounds…all within the space of two weeks. I’m trying to exercise as much as I can. I bike 2-5 miles a day depending on my mood. I still haven’t figured out the food thing. I’ve been trying to stay away from sugar most of the time and not binge. My BMI is down a point, so I guess I’m making progress. I really only like to do exercise that’s fun. No lunges and that sort of stuff on me. I like the trampoline, biking, and walking best. I’d like to do some running, but [insert excuse of the week]. I am on the lookout for dance classes because I really love dancing and, as a bonus, it also qualifies as exercise. And I’m going to try for some kind of plan with the food situation.

I’m currently at 169 —from my original 178. It’s going very slowly, but steadily.

Checked my self on the scale last night (same one I do not really trust) it now reads my weight as 89 kilos (198-pounds) for now.

I did not go on a diet, I still do not eat really well, just better.
I’m not a fan of exercise, unless it’s fun. As such I love gardening (I volunteer at a garden, as well as tend to one of my own) I ride my bike a lot, at least 3-hours or more a week, and I dance, I’ll dance whenever I can, it’s such fun.

I’ve watched my weight slowly rise and my ab area balloon. Now that the BMI calculator has put me in the “overweight” sector, I’ve decided to actually do something serious. And,Kim N,I just thought I’d say, I like your list of goals. I think I’ll make my own. Maybe it’ll help motivate me. So here’s to the future!

I checked myself on the scale today. Honestly, I do not trust scales much, I know they’re not perfect, but if one says I weigh less now then what I did about 3-months ago, than I think it’s correct. I do measure myself using the same scale each time of course. I’ve gone from 223 in January to 208 today. Good? you bet it is.

I feel better overall, thanks to much swimming, cycling and eating better.

That’s a 3 pound gain from last week, but it’s understandable. Wednesday, I blew the diet at lunch and had lots of carbs and Tiramisu for lunch. Then Friday I allowed myself a non-diet day because I got off work early and did some touristy things around town. It was like a 4 hours vacation. This week, I hope I can avoid temptation.

Eighteen to go.

Sunday is official weigh-in day. I usually weigh every day even though “they” say you’re not supposed to. But Sunday will be the real results day.

Today, I’m twenty-three down from when I started this goal. Twenty to go.

I’m 7 down from when I started dieting again last Sunday.

Last time I started dieting in earnest, I was 11 pounds down from my high weight. That was a year ago.

This time, I started at 16 pounds down, so I’m happy to report I didn’t gain back *all* the weight I lost before.

I’m trying again. I lost 3 pounds since Sunday, so at this point I’m nineteen down. Twenty-four to go.
