MIA

I know that I have been missing in action for most of the summer. See my previous post from June to see what has been happening on the weight loss front.

I have indeed failed to start. I continue to think about it and even at times get depressed about how heavy I have gotten. Incidently the scale has stayed the same for the summer.

Today is a beautiful fall day here in the mid-west and I spent my lunch walking to Subway and back. All 218 pounds of me. I know ww would have me having a veggie sub which has absolutely no appeal for me. I would not walk from my office to Subway for lettuce and tomato on bread-No Thanks. I head an Italian BMT on whole wheat with provolone cheese and lettuce, tomato, pickles and black olives and light mayo and a bag of garden salsa sun chips and a diet coke. Was it a great option no, but at least I got out and got some exercise and fresh air.

I continue to read weight loss blogs and am in awe of the success of others when I seem to be such a failure at not only weight loss but pretty much everything else as well.

I have been reading "The End to Overeating" as the book was recomended and it is very interesting.

While I have not been losing weight I have been on vacation twice-Branson Mo and a number of local attractions including: The Tall Ships in Green Bay, WI, the Norman Rockwell exhibit in Oshkosh, the Air show in Rockford, On the Waterfront festival, the Shedd Aquarium, 2 days at Great America, and a nice 10th anniversary visit to Rotary gardens.

I turned 48 a few weeks ago and my daughter turned 8 and she celebrated with a trip to American Girl Place. Our Princess started 3rd grade and is back into dance class and brownies.

I continue to feud with my MIL.

I took a coding class this summer and passed my coding exam.

I moved all the lillies from my back yard, which was a hot sweaty,buggy job.

I continue to work of the affiliation deal at work not knowing if I will have a job when it is done.

My house remains unkept and the basement is a disaster. We wanted to build a shed in out yard for all the gardening and yard tools and bikes but we discovered we would need 3 variances with the city to get that done. We are now attempting to join our lots into one so we can put up the shed without the variances. We will see.

That is it in a nut shell, I plan on working on plan for packing my lunch and eating a healthy breakfast each day and maybe start exercising-see how non committal I can be? I would like to go to all day scrap this Saturday so we will see how that goes.
