Week 2 begins

Week 1 was great except for one little day, Saturday. Blown. But I lost One Pound anyway. Took one walk and did a few push-ups on two days. The plan is to gradually increase the exercise to 4 times a week.

Tell us about your week. And let me know if you've ever heard of anyone using chocolate pudding as a topping for ice cream. My skinny 17 year old son did this the other day. It struck me as over-the-top, though I admit I was intrigued. (And thought it could use some whipped cream.) Next time I'll take a picture and post it. That's as close as I'll get to eating it. Good grief. That would not make me feel good. Life must be different when you have a metabolism that metabolizes.

Day One

11 weeks from today is my birthday. If my goal is to lose about 15 pounds (actually, 12-17 pounds), I need to lose 1.5 pounds a week. Sounds easy, but not really. From my extensive experience, I know that I can't lose weight quickly; my metabolism moves at the speed of molasses in January. I'm going to have to be very careful, and endure some hunger.

Anyone want to join me?

Starting tomorrow . . .

I've got a goal:

126 pounds by 1/26 (my birthday)

I've been stuck with these 15 (or so) extra pounds for months and months. If I don't get serious, one day soon something (like a seam) is gonna give.

I'm hoping public humiliation will do the trick. I might even do a public weigh-in in a week or so. :-/

(Honestly, I'd settle for 130 by 1/30, or even 131 by 1/31. But that's my final offer.)
