Thursday 09-02-10 - 2 lbs gone

Well another good week on the scales, yep I lost 2 lbs this week.  I am thrilled and hope I keep on with the losing streak.  My hardest time is the weekends though when I am in Port Gibson with nothing to do.  I tend to eat when I get bored, so I am just going to have to stay busy.  I use to go to the casino on Saturdays, but with my hubby's job in question that is out.  I will probably walk and there is still the question of getting a bike.  I have come close to ordering one a couple of times, but money is still a problem.  I am going on the hunt for a used bike and see what I come up with. 

Eating has become a religion with me, I look at weigh, measure and count the points on everything that goes in my mouth.   I am 51 years old and if I am going to take this weight off it has to be now.  Just the small amount of weight I have lost this year, which by the way is now 33 lbs has made me feel better.  I had to walk and show a storage unit this morning and it was way in the back of the property.   Last time I did this was last year and I had to stop and lean on the building halfway coming and going to catch my breath.    This time I had no problem going back there with out stopping along the way.    I am going to walk in another 5k at the end of this month so I hope to be able to do it in under 1 hr.  We will see.

Great meeting last night along with the weigh in.  The topic was how do you plan your weight lost strategy?   I plan mine by making a list before I go to the grocery store, planning my lunches everyday and counting my points.  How would some of you say you plan your weight lost strategies?
