Back in the Saddle Again…

by | Apr 29, 2007 | Weight Loss

After a year-long hiatus from dieting I am back in the saddle again. I really despise dieting almost as much as exercising, but I haven’t found any other way to control my weight.

Without getting into specific numbers, I’ve regained everything I lost between 2002 and 2004 and added 10 more pounds. Not liking the result at all because I was definitely making headway. So I reactivated my Calorie King membership and started journaling faithfully starting April 24. I haven’t been able to bring myself to start working out yet, but I managed to stay within my calories for the entire week and lost 4 lbs. OK, I know it’s mostly water, but 4 pounds is 4 pounds. My next goal is to add 3 15 minute exercise times per day for the entire week. No, it didn’t happen today, but I was out and about walking all day, so I don’t feel too bad about not doing formal exercise.

2006 started out as a resolve to take off the remaining pounds, but ended up adding 32 pounds to my body. One of the reasons for this gain was a school schedule that caused me to spend 10 weeks on my butt working for A’s.

A really bad cold sidelined me for a number of weeks and the holidays were another reason to eat (aren’t they always?).
