Fur Rondy Today! 155.8 This Morning - Doing Something Wrong...

Successes to Date:  Making breakfast a priority, eliminating milk & cheese  (Healthier skin, elimination of joint pain!)

Areas to Improve:  Implementing regular exercise, eating dinner earlier, getting the afternoon snack in the mix, drink more water

While I am happy with maintaining the 10 lb loss, it's time to kick this program into gear! 

I have a cross-country ski date with a friend this afternoon if it warms up - and as much as I despise exercise for the sake of exercise I'm afraid it is a necessary evil if I want to maintain 130 lbs vs. 155 lbs.  UGH!

154.8

Last night we had a photo shoot in the hot tub - big fun thanks to a few good sports who agreed to model!  I must say putting on the swimsuit was a bit daunting, luckily they weren't looking for bikini models! 

I've been back to focusing on eating foods with 1 ingredient - it seems to be working - despite my lack of following the 5 meal rule.  I have an easy time incorporating the breakfast, lunch and mid-afternoon snack before dinner.  The mid-morning snack often gets forgotten in the hustle and bustle of the day...

Must work on that.... 

155.4 Up Bright & Early Today

This morning the full moon beaming in the window had me up at 5:00 a.m.  I started the day with a glass of lemon water, then 1/2 cup of coffee about an hour later.

I can tell that although the numbers on the scale haven't moved much lately - the weight distribution on my body is different.  It looks as though the water-weight is gone, and what is left is a layer of "insulation", as we affectionately call it in Alaska. :) 

I've been putting the start of an exercise regimen on the back burner, and supplementing with extra chores around the house, but I can tell it is time to add more structure to the routine.  I know, I know, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!  I had those bicycle pants on a few days ago and ended up mopping the floors - but hey, at least the house is clean!

155-ish.... Missed the Weigh-In Today

Fighting sugar cravings all day today and got this in the Eat Clean Newsletter so thought I'd share it.

155.2 - Stairs and More Stairs Today

Shoveled snow yesterday for exercise and climbed stairs all day today back and forth to the B&B rooms.  Looking forward to the week - we have guests coming in and lots of work to do!  

Scrambled eggs with cilantro and onions this morning, celery and almond butter for snack, homemade vegetable soup with mixed greens for lunch and dinner. 

Focusing this week on goals and health - taxes, travel, and investments.  A healthy approach to each day is definitely in order!
