Finally -- home for a good long stretch and ready to dig in and do the job! I didn't post it, but I weighed in at 160.4 this morning, which under the circumstances isn't really so bad. I'll do my first-of-the-month Tuesday weigh-in early next week and post that as my weight, whatever it may be. But now I plan to go back to monthly weigh-ins. I think I get too distracted by the week-to-week results, and don't keep my eye on the bigger picture of where I'm trying to go -- when really it's the ultimate destination that's important.
I am determined to get my exercise routine better established -- making sure that I spend an hour a day in some kind of physical activity. It was impossible to do that in DC because it was about 103 every day, with heat indexes as high as 113, so I didn't get to walk even one day. I was very disappointed, as I had developed a very nice route when I was there in the spring and really enjoyed the walk. Anyway, I skated an hour yesterday, and tomorrow I will skate again in the a.m., then in the afternoon-evening, I am going to my foster sister's house to water-walk in her pool for an hour, so together that should burn up some calories. Sunday, I have an agility lesson for Hermione, and then I will try to get to the gym for an hour. I just heard from a friend that you can water-walk in the pool at the gym, so I'm going to investigate what swim sessions accommodate water-walking and try to do a couple hours each week. I really enjoy being in the water, so water-walking is great for me.
So I think it will take me a couple weeks to really get back on track, but I know I can do it. I know that because in spite of feeling like I was being totally undisciplined since the beginning of July and getting virtually no exercise at all, I'm only 2 pounds up, and I don't think that's so bad. The challenge is to put a stop to this right now!
