While there have been fluctuations, my weight has been fairly steady here between 144 and 148. In some ways I feel dismayed to feel stuck in a rut and not actually progressing. Yet my mental energy feels pulled elsewhere and I am at least glad I am not losing ground.

steady weight
26 July 2014
Yippee! Doing better. Being on my home turf really helps. Also, the busywork of chores and other household management tasks helps to distract me from foolish choices sometimes. :) Idleness, I've found,is fodder for ALL KINDS of bad habits. I'm glad I am getting more active and being more productive. Ultimate goal, here I come! :-D!!!
Edit: I just realized today would've been my parents 33rd anniversary if they were still married. :( I am glad that my dad found a nice woman who is kind and takes care of him. He's faced a lot of hardship and personal loss, I am glad he has someone now he can be happy and have fun with.
It's probably going to take time to come to terms with my mom's illness and choices, the way a lot of what she did tore my family apart. It hit home the other day when my [older]daughter was telling me that she knew my mother didn't love me. I tried to clarify for her that I can't tell that because only G-d knows her heart, but yeah she often failed to show me that she loved me so I've generally never trusted her claim when she'd tell me, "I love you, Jacquie!" It's sobering trying to explain to my daughter what I went through as a child in a simple, humble way. She doesn't really understand, but I am glad of that because she doesn't have the experience to do so better. I'd rather she never really have to or come to know that, but it is uplifting to see and hear the compassion she has towards me for the pain I went through.

losing 5.6 lb a week
21 July 2014
I actually logged my food for the first time in a bazilliondy years (as best as I could remember consider I started logging my calories today more as an afterthought). In any case, seeing the numbers in front of me is a significant help. I've just never made it past the awkward phase where remembering to measure and record what I ate didn't seem like an unpalatable chore. Maybe things will change, I have two meals done today, this could be the beginning of a new healthful habit. Who knows?! Maybe I can make my initial goal weight by birthday this year, if not sooner through a little newly implemented discipline. :)

No surprises here, I struggled with compulsive eating last week. I am kind of glad though that I didn't go over 150lb. Also I am mildly impressed with myself for accurately predicting the scale reading before stepping on it. I think that I will be able to recoup the lost progress reasonably quickly because I can get back into my rhythm better at home than away from home. I need to mow the lawn again, so that will be a good ~5-6 hours of exercise. My HabitRPG tasks help me to drink more water and that can assist with curbing unnecessary snacking due to dehydration. (I wasn't able to keep up with it last week like I thought I'd be able to.) So all in all, damage is done. I'm facing the music now and I expect I can get back on track more readily now than the last time I backslid this much.

gaining 2.3 lb a week
18 July 2014
Yay for vanity sizing?! I was at an Old Navy the other day and wound up getting some new shorts and a tee shirt. The semi exciting thing is that when I went to try on bottoms, the size 8s were too big. I ended up getting 2 pairs of shorts that were size 6. I don't remember ever being size 6 before as an adult. This feels gratifying, but also somewhat frustrating because size 6 doesn't exactly mean something; clothing- particularly women's clothing it seems- is not standardized. I have shorts that fit that are size 8 and 10,and now also size 6. I don't know if I am deluding myself that I'd be content with my size, whatever it was at the time, if manufacturers standardized their fitting so that a 12- or whatever- would be the same across the various designers/ clothes makers.
I got to go on vacation recently with my family, and while on vacation I got to contrast pics of myself now with those from the last similar vacation 2 years ago. I look a lot better now!! :) Last time I went on vacation I was around 170-175, and currently I am about 25-30lb lighter (lol...that's about the same as an old CRT monitor...I did warehouse detail many years ago repackaging computers and accessories as a summer job so that's where I get that connection from).
I still see much room for improvement- both in habits and results; I have an hour glass waist with a pear shaped body. I have had more trouble with emotional and compulsive eating while on vacation, so I am wary of developing more of a kangaroo type pounch. Though to see significant improvement from previous years is very satisfying. I just want to make sure that this doesn't turn into a dysfunctional cycle of gains and losses.
