Trying to get back on track. Only clocked a little over a mile for the whole day on the pedometer. I did forget to put it on before taking Boudreaux for his walk, though. So that's another half mile to add. I had a fairly active day, too. Did laundry and cleaned out a coupla dresser drawers and a kitchen cupboard. Guess I'm gonna hafta get off my duff and march back and forth in the house.

What a weekend. Diet suffered greatly. Didn't gain at least.
We saw the Matrix 3 yesterday. Much better than the second one. Also had lunch at Semolina. Not much help on the diet at that eatery. Good food though. I had the Chicken Parm and Bob had the Lasagne. Bob was a little disappointed but only cuz he is a such a carnevore and thought there should be more meat.

Last week I got on the scale and was totally appalled by it. My weight was just below 160 pounds! I still don't know if it was 158 or 159 cuz I was so stunned that I jumped right off of there. I went through the weekend as usual - pretending to myself that I was eating low-carb, but actually eating anything what I felt like.
Monday morning I started a food journal. Not actually dieting, yet, but just recording everything that goes into my mouth. I got on the scale this morning and while still too high, at least it wasn't as high. Today I weigh 152 pounds. I am beginning to think that the 160 reading was probably just water retention, cuz I know I didn't lose that much just from keeping a journal. Since starting the journal I've noticed that I am drinking plenty of water and not hitting the snacks nearly so hard. So maybe there's something to this journalling stuff.

Okay, this is way cool! I really had a lot of fun putting this together. Learned a lot too!

Wow, I forgot all about this blog I started way back when. Well, to update - I started smoking again but finally quit on October 28, 2002. Feels so good to be smoke free! I still need to lose weight. The pounds just keep creeping on. I tried the Sugar Busters and stayed on Atkins for most of this last year. I just can't stick to them. There's always a cheat somewhere so the weight just doesn't budge. Now I have decided to keep a food diary for a while just to monitor my eating and see what comes of that.
