Weight : 209.6 As expected, I am up in weight. Am I fooling myself by telling myself I don’t mind because I was on vacation? Perhaps but I did enjoy my time away and I definitely did not focus the way I should on what I ate and drank – lesson there is if I want continues progress, 2 weeks…

wow – 22 days into this already – I should be down 3 pounds (can only weigh tomorrow as out on the river today) I know that losing weight will help me on these adventures – carrying extra weight doesn’t make a canoe go faster that’s for sure and I don’t want to be on the stern because I weigh…

I am writing today to at least stay on track with this commitment even if it feels like right now I am just writing and not focused on weight loss or the process of weight loss today. I am about to get my first lesson in white water canoeing – I have a trip planned in late August where I…

I am back from vacation and heading out to my next one – two days of learning to white water canoe in advance of a canoeing trip late August. I will take these two days to get back on track – eat healthy at the camp (I think the food offering is pretty basic so I don’t think I will…

just returning from the Finger Lakes vacation but I feel I had to get this in! Not the best weekend for losing weight and I am ok with that I did get a flat tire on the way home and I think the journaling and meditation helped me really just deal with it – no frustration, the worst outcome was…

Short post just to remind myself that I need to think of weight loss even when on vacation – it’s tough as will be raining today and the 3 hr hike will now be 20-30 mins at a time avoiding thunderstorms. Hope to at least get some exercise in to offset the eating out.

Today won’t be the hiking day I thought – too much wildfire smoke still in the air making it hard especially for my dog. So calories burnt during these next few days won’t get me to the type of workout I need. This may be an oh well moment – have to live and still plan on some of the…

I was starting to feel the pull of my ‘status quo’ – staying the same, reducing effort as I am busy elsewhere. But then I saw Day 16 on above – I have been at Day 16 many times before but I definitely have not journaled 16 days in a row and definitely have not done a morning routine 16…

Weight 208.4 My scale was giving me some different readings – between 208.0 and 209.0. I saw 208.4 more than once so will land there. Good news is continued progress. But I have started to feel my initial energy about this wane a bit. Getting back to how long this is going to take and sometimes thinking does it really…

Short blog today as I drove home early this morning and am out of my new routine. I am proud of myself for getting this in anyway – even if in the afternoon. No reading today – just continued commitment to eating right and getting my exercise in even if feels like 40+C out there. Today: breakfast: 2 eggs, toast…
