No work today, but yes, its saturday, yoga day. It was a so so session. Not my favorite instructor but he's getting a smidge better, or I'm getting more tolerant ... unsure which. Some poses were better than others.
No I can't make it back up the driveway when I come home because there is too much snow, but I don't really care because YES we have the regular snowplow driver who will make it okay. But no, neighbor says he won't plow us this season after all so, yes, back to the shoddy-but-promises-to-do-better guy.
Head out to the store. No I don't want those chocolate donuts I see everybuddy getting, and what is up with that? Just because its snowing I see everyone in line with a box of donuts? Seriously, about five people pass me by with them. No no no I don't want any, yes they smell good, but no I'm not going to buy myself some chocolate because yes I can have hot cocoa at home if I'm really tempted later and yes I love myself and am strong enough to pass up the temptation.
No, I can't make it up the driveway again because SPD (shoddy plow driver) hasn't plowed yet, but yes I'm getting in more cardio trudging up the hill through 6 inches of snow. No, I'm not going to call SPD any more, not going to complain, yes I'm going to work on tolerance and patience.
Feeling a hitch in my getalong from yoga. Yes, its nap time. And lo, what is that I hear? The sound of the plow driver. 
He ended up spending over an hour plowing. SPD is going to get upgraded now from shoddy to ...hmmm, super? Stupendous? How about just successful. Successful Plow Driver. Let's not get carried away here just yet.

I liked the way you changed SPD from NAY to YAY and are cautiously optimistic about his future plowing performance!! I'm glad he stepped up this time. Your trial by donuts seems to have gone well too. Good focus there! Have a great day this Super Bowl Sunday. Enjoy it no matter what you decide to do!

Thanks for the support! Calorie counting definitely makes it hard to not think about food because you've got to plan ahead. I think I'll try your food log idea. If I start to gain then I'll see where I need to cut back. I don't see why your town is being invaded by donuts. What is the link between donuts and snow? Maybe they think they can overeat because they're burning extra calories snow-walking. Any excuse, right? PS. Your grandkids are cute, especially the 1yr. She is just TOO cute in the photo on your main page! Pinch her cheeks for me, please.  Comment edited on: 2/5/2011 4:04:42 PM Report Inappropriate Comment |
Wowsers, didn't expect the scale to respond so quickly, but it certainly did. Yesterday I was very mindful, ate well, and began using the nutritional tracker again. Almost all of the pounds melted off yesterday, which means they were probably "ahem" fiber issues, and not real weight, and didn't show on the scale this morning. Whew! 
I'll have to forego yoga this week ... that's where I tweaked my back last Saturday. My tailbone had finally healed from when I fell skiing a few weeks ago, so I thought I could do the sit-up poses again, but those strained the very muscles in my back that I hurt from snow shoveling, and by the time I left class I could hardly stand up straight. Its much better today, but not all the way there. I can still do my modified ST, and walking, and some of my exercise DVD's. Life isn't going to stop just because I'm not up to full potential. 
Good for you for not giving up! I'm going to have to move my ticker back up too, as soon as I talk myself onto the scale. So you will be my inspiration! If you can do it, I can do it too! You rock!
zone ... I have way too many things to do today to be watching hulu in the day, but saw that Top Chef was in so I just had to stop and watch it, and then of course had to have a few squares of the dark chocolate I bought... 
Wait a minute ... is this the day I had envisioned for myself? Is this the sabotaging behavior I want to act out after all my hard work? Am I going to let some sore muscle pain dictate my day and tell me I need to coat myself with fattening food? NO! 
as in I'm sloooooow moving due to straining my back snow shoveling Tuesday as well as doing too much ST yesterday. I went to yoga this morning hoping to get it worked out, but its still quite stiff.
