Time For a Come Back!

Well, in preparation for my family's upcoming move to Georgia, we have a painter giving us a rough estimate of sorts. I'm exiled into another room in the house so I figured now would be as good a time as any to write the return entry (so ya'll know I haven't given up yet and so I can fess up)

Its been a rough couple months as far as my diet goes. I've been longing for the warm weather, to get back on the trail. I love zumba and all but I really long for my long walks. And if anyone knows about the north east this winter, you know it's been bad. for about 1.5 miles it's cleared and plowed, but from there on it's not. So even though a lot of our snow is gone, there's a lot of ice over there still, so it might be a while before its gone. I may end up just braving it. I can't just walk in circles over the mile-half. I might as while walk on my treadmill :p

So while I was in Vancouver I found it all too easy to fall into my old snacking habits. Into the "Oh, I'm on vacation, I can let it slide." I hate that. Now that I'm back, I've been having a hard time getting back into my old routines. So far i've been working out every other day because the days in between I've been letting my body chill. Next week i'll try to kick things up again though. I was able to do flat abs twice yesterday, which was good, and while I'm not sore today, i'm really stiff. I need to book an appointment to my chiropractor. So I think getting out to walk will be good for me soon...

But on the other hand, I have had about two days where I've actually stayed on my points. I am allowed 23, and that's not a lot (compared to the 30 I started with) and I've been kinda idle lately and watching a lot of TV and whatever, and i'm an snacker when I watch things so thats not good... but I'm thinking I'll get things back in order this month and all will be well! I will once again become the diet nazi I was and try to *not* starve myself rather than eat too much.

Ah, in conclusion, I've gained about 4lbs since we last spoke, i'm not sure if any of that is bloating, but there it is. 4lbs. Grumble. But it's time to get serious again. Return to the old strategy of eating as little as possible so I can eat at night :p it's not ideal, but thats where it is. Hello, my name is Jane and I'm a nighttime snacker. *shrug* I'll see ya'll monday.
