I can be spontaneous and impulsive. I know I can.

So I’m starting right now this very second on my weight loss program. At first I THOUGHT I’d start on October 1st. But heck, that was just another postponement measure.

If you missed it, I got inspired by Dr. G’s weight loss and energy post. And then I thought about it for about a week.

Then I decided, spontaneously like, to DO something about it.

I want to go skiing with K in a couple of months. And sledding, and shoe showing and everything else that takes a great deal of stamina and strength.

When we first moved to Colorado, I used to do all those things. I haven’t been skiing in a few years and the last time I went sledding in the snow I couldn’t get back up the mountain without complaining.

Us older moms need to stay fit to keep up!

No time to start like the present.

So, here it is.

My Stats:

Today is September 28th, 2:00 pm.

Starting stats: Size 10 – 12 - Weight: 160

(ok, for those of you who are really nit picky finicky exacting kind of people, yes the scale says 165. I don't know how that happened)

What I ate today so far:

Scrambled eggs
Toast and Marmalade
Coffee more coffee
Cheese enchilada
Chips
Sliced Peaches

CHOCOLATE MALTED MILK BALLS.

Oh boy.

This mornings exercise:

One hour yoga.
30 minutes on treadmill.
Dancing with K
Carrying K through the parking lot because I was late.
Carrying K upstairs for nap as she was almost asleep.

Tonight I am making Pineapple upside down cake. I've had a craving and bought pineapple today. I'll substitute applesauce for the sugar.... It'll be ok.

We are having spagetti for dinner.

Can you say portion control?

I think I can I think I can.....

Tomorrow I don't have any scheduled work outs. I'll have to find a way to walk or hike. Last time I hiked with K it turned out ok. She loved it. The dogs loved it. I loved it.

Ok, it's a plan.

Small baby steps....
