Where have you been?

Posted on January 29, 2010. Filed under: Uncategorized |

Well, let’s see what I have been up to.

I went to the doctor – lost 4.5 more pounds since 12/23/09. I was not very impressed with this total, but it is better than nothing. I know the reason that I am not losing very fast is because of my bad eating habits over the holidays and January birthdays. I rededicated myself this morning to counting calories closely and getting this finished by race day – 3/20/10.

My bike came in last Thursday. I love it, absolutely love it. I have been able to ride it to work twice this week, and I love that. My project this weekend is to clean out my (big and almost empty) closet and hang a hook in order to keep my bike in there. I know that seems kind of weird, but it is the best solution.

I have eaten this sandwich 3 times this week – yum. Roasted chicken on white with spinach, tomatoes, onions, pickles and honey mustard. It is delicious.

Do you see what I am up against? This is the kitchen in my office. One drawer full of chips, one drawer full of bite-size chocolate candy and a whole jar of more candy. The fridge is full of Cokes. It is not hard anymore, but this used to call out to me every afternoon.

Have you met my dog? Her name is Kipper and she loves warm laundry. My daughter calls her Tide, because she always smells like Tide.

I took this picture coming home from the gym on Thursday morning. It reminds me that this week is behind me – thank goodness. This week has been very difficult.
