Well, not so much on the bike this week (those darn, political conventions). But stayed really solid on my eating! BTW - got to tell you about two wonderful things...
1) Skinny Cow Mini-Fudge Bars - Love these! Only 50 cals. per pop. Chocolate, ice cream - de-lish!
2) Seltzer w/flavor - I love sparkling water but it gets a bit boring and expensive. (Saratoga rocks!) However, I found that my supermarket (Giant) store brand of Seltzer infused with fruit flavors (orange, lime, raspberry/lime) is wonderful. This is not the sweetened water but straight, natural flavor with no chemicals and no calories! Light, refeshing and bubbly.
I would love to know if you have wonderfully, de-lish food, snacks or drinks that good for you. Email or comment!

Feeling a bit better as I'm back to even after a few weeks of yo-yo activities. I have spent the week slowly working on going to bed earlier and getting up earlier. I tried to do it in one day - not smart! By Monday I will be getting up early enough to do my workout and make it to station on time.
Between you and me...I want to knock out this last 20 pounds fast! I know that my not be the "Correct" way to think about it but that is what I really want to do. We'll see.

What?...
Current Weight: 324
Last Week's Weight: 321
Gain?? for the Week: 3
Starting Weight: 383 Total Loss: 59
I'm very sure that if you were in my bathroom around 3:45 this morning you would have seen a cartoon come to life. When I saw the number on my scale I know my eyes jumped out of my head and became big as dinner plates (a'la Daffy Duck). I was a bit stunned.
Now that I have had a few hours to absorb it, I think one thing has become crystal... I need to get back on track with regular exercise! I'm at the point where the food alone isn't going to cut it anymore. I know this is not a news flash but I'm a procrastinator. (Gasp! Shock!) Even though I started strong on the bike, the wonderful food plan from SupperThyme's Fast Track made it easy to lose weight and I slacked off.
Slacking seems to be something many of us excel at. For you, it might not be exercise but keeping in touch with God. Just like getting on the bike, all you have to do is "do it." You can just start talking to Him or pick up the Bible and read his letters to you. Don't wait another day.
So, the wake up call has been received. All three pounds of it! It has to be the right food and the right exercise to achieve the right results. It is all on me now and how I face this challenge. Let's see...
Live Well! Live Healthy!

I'm verry happy about the one-pound loss. I have to tell you that I am looking forward to the next couple of months. It will be a more "normal" pattern of life for me - no international travel, no back-to-back-to-back events and a better chance to eat the right foods and exercise more.
Live Well, Live Healthy!

Feeling pretty good...
Current Weight: 322
Last Week's Weight: 321
Gain for the Week: 1
Starting Weight: 383 Total Loss: 61
Yep, I know I gained a pound...but if you could have seen the food in Brazil you would understand why I'm feeling OK about it.
Every meal has bread and cheese and more bread! It was a total carb-fest. Also, they don't really "do" breakfast the way we do. It is very minimal: bread w/milk and coffee. That was tough because I love b-fast and it helps get me fueled up for the day.
Got to tell you about this place we went to dinner one evening. It was described as a "Tea Room." It was a buffet that included (literally) 15 different kinds of breads with things stuffed inside: meats and cheese, fruit, jams, etc.. I did I mention the desserts????
The one evening we were at another buffet that had a big tray of steamed veggies. I was never so happy to see broccoli in my entire life! I think I had two platefuls.
BTW, just to show you how traveling can play with your body... From Sunday to Sunday I flew 8 times and stayed in 3 different hotels. The day after I got back (Tuesday) I got on the scale and laughed when it hit 330lbs! It is almost impossible to gain 9 pounds in 8 days. The next day I was down to 226 and then 223 by Thursday. So, it took me almost a week for my body to get over being gone for a week. Just one more reason NOT to be a slave to the scale!
Well, I'm done traveling for a while. (Stacey is happy about that!) So, it is back to the daily battle to eat well, get healthy and live better! Come join the fight!
