Teresa's Ponderings

 I had every intention of typing out a long blog this week, so I grabbed the computer to make it easier on myself. It took so long for the computer to boot up that I don't even care to type out everything I was going to originally type.  Stupid old computer.  The last few weeks have been tough. I've fallen into a slump that I didn't care to be pulled out of. Curt was gone on a canoe trip and it was easy to not care. I ate every single piece of garbage I could get my hands on.  Monday I started a program from Younique Balance Health Coaching. My sister gifted me 4 weeks of this healthy lifestyle coaching. I've really liked their perspective and it has changed my way of thinking on several things.  I lost .8 this week. I like that it's a loss, but I wasn't expecting it. I truly expected a decent gain. I'm thankful I can begin this new journey with a loss on the scale.  The half marathon is not happening. I took a short jog the other day, and while it didn'...

 I almost didn't go to my meeting today. Then, I almost didn't weigh. I knew I had gained, I did next to nothing to try and temper that. I've been in a slump the last couple weeks. Not entirely sure why, but it's been tough to come out of it.  I gained .4. Not much, but when added to the last couple weeks it's a trend I need to reverse. I've eaten whatever I want, whenever I want it and I have generally had 2 or 3 helpings of whatever that may be. Bad, bad, BAD. I have continued hiking some, but I haven't walked or biked. This morning I dusted off my bike and rode it to my meeting. There's step #1.  I went for a short hike with a new friend this week. I just did the Dry Lake Trail, so nothing too strenuous. She took this picture: My knee is giving me some fits. When I have it bent for a period of time it hurts like crazy to straighten it. I haven't run on it. I'm afraid to. I'm pretty sure the half marathon is out. I knew I wouldn't be ab...

I'm sitting in my truck before my meeting thinking about the past week and wanted to get these couple things on paper before the scale changes how I view the week. I'm pleased with how active I was this week, but disappointed in how I chose to eat. That pretty much sums it up. What the scale shows will just be a number and won't reflect the shorts that continue to fit better, nor the way I feel when getting up and down off the floor.  Now to go weight in.   ___________________________ Glad I typed this out before I weighed in. As I mentioned again, I could have been very set back had I not put my feelings down first. I gained 2.4 pounds. Next week will probably be a pretty big loss. I feel like most of this was water weight because of my hike on Tuesday.  See you next week!!
