My plan of action

I forgot to weigh & post on Thursday, but things have pretty much been the same.  My dessert consumption this past week has been shocking, though.  So...I've decided several things.  1.  I'm going to start taking Alli again.  It gave me the definite motivation to keep my fat intake lower.  I bought it today & started taking it with my lunch.  2.  My former roommate, Radene, is doing a 4-week health challenge.  I'm going to participate.  I already do much of what is in the challenge (or want to do!), but it will give me an incentive to keep up with it on a daily basis.  I can win some cash if I'm one of the top point earners.  I think the best part is that it will motivate me to do better.  The challenge doesn't start for another week, but I'm going to make this week 1 for myself.  It can't hurt.  I'm embarrassed to be heading home for my class reunion in a few weeks looking the way I do...and it would be lovely to not be completely embarrassed when I don a swimsuit at the beach in 6 1/2 weeks!  

By the way, if you're interested in joining Radene's challenge or want to know more, let me know.

Endorphins

I exercised this morning, and boy do I feel good!  Wow!  Last week was busy with family and Randy's surgery, so I didn't post.  My weight has been in the 142-145 range the last little while, though.  It was 142.5 this morning.  I think I really need to set my sights on getting into the 130's, but I am happy that I'm maintaining.  It's easy to think that weight should just magically fall off when we really set our mind to it.  Not so.  I'm going to be happy with where I'm at and keep working at getting the weight off, however slowly it happens.  I also measured this morning for the first time in 2 months, and it wasn't bad, either.  I honestly think I've done really well, considering the immense stress I've been under, so yea, Keri!
