I know, inventive and telling title, but I couldn't think of anything. I feel better since starting to move. I've been to the gym five of the last seven days. I missed the gym and am glad to be back. My back is still weak so I've been taking it easy. No more than 45 minutes of cardio and I just added weights in yesterday. Tomorrow is Pilates. Saturday, Yoga. My goal is to do something every day.
Eating is still a challenge. I just can't seem to get focused in a consistent and effective way on eating better. I don't eat junk, but I eat way too much. I also absolutely adore alcohol. I'm going to take a break from JC because I miss food and cooking. I want to try soups and stir fries. I suppose it's constant retraining and thinking about making better choices.
I watched a series of documentaries on obesity and dieting this weekend. It was sad and frightening to watch these people who weighed nearly 1000 pounds. Some of them consumed as much as 30,000 calories! I don't want that for my life and I don't know what will prevent me from getting there. I never expected to be this heavy and am having a very difficult time getting below this weight. I haven't given up, but must admit that I do feel hopeless. I work everyday to change my mindset.
Feel a bit sleepy. Hopefully I can empty my mind and get some rest this evening.

Thanks for your encouraging comments on my blog! Great job on getting to the gym consistently - that is so important. On the food front, keep making small changes you can live with, not monumental ones that are unmaintainable. I have gotten a lot of inspiration from a lady in Illinois, Sandra Ahten, who does weight loss support groups and an email motivational program called "Reasonable Diet". It's all about doing what you are willing and able to do and taking small steps that work for you. If you are interested you can check her out at www.reasonablediet.com. Keep up the good work on getting to the gym!
