I'm ready... I think.

So, yet again, no loss this week.  Can I blame it on the crazy of the week before... again?  I don't know.  I can always find something to blame things on, I suppose.  It was Easter week, after all.  I did give up chocolate for Lent, after all.  I have been having huge amounts of stress and anxiety at work, after all.

Anyway, here's the deal.  I ate everything I wanted at Easter dinner (at my sisters house).  I did imbibe in a couple of pieces of chocolate.  The stress and anxieties at work are not going away anytime soon.

But with all of thise things, I did pay attention to what I was eating Sunday.  I didn't go crazy on the chocolate, honest!  (really, honest)  And I have managed in the last month to stop buying snacks and sandwiches at work, saving both money and calories.  I have really started drinking much more water.  I have substationally cut back on my soda intake (always diet, but still not the best choice).  So what's the problem???

Dare I say it?  Dare I?  I hate that word!  Hate it!  But I have to say it out loud, I NEED to say it out loud.  Up until now, I have avoided it, but I think the time has come.  Yep.  Exercise.  Aargh!

I hated exercise long before my knees gave out.  But I'm starting to think that it's a necessary evil in this effort to move forward.  Listen.  I'm not talking about losing 10 or 15 pounds (imagine!?)  I need to lose 75! 

I can cut calories all I want, but eventually, I need to get up off the couch.

So I started this morning.  I have a swing walker and I dusted it off and got on it today.  Good job, you say?  Well, let's see if I get on it tomorrow again.  Because you have to do it with some sort of regularity if you want t to work, after all.

I'll let you know how I make out next week.  Wish me luck.
