Char Gets Thin's Journal, 17 January 2014

BRRRR....cold day here today, we actually dropped to 27 degrees last night. In FLORIDA no less! lol Right now it's up to 45 so won't be TOO bad when I take Val out for our hike. Dink has to stay home again today...he did great yesterday, we did the short trail, only 1.2 miles, and he came through like a trooper...but then the hubby let both him AND Val out into the yard together, and they started chasing squirrels...so he's tender on that hip again today and can't handle a long hike. :( Poor baby.

Well, my weight loss is going well, I've gone from 190 to 183.6 since 1-2-14. Not too shabby. Last night though, was a MY BAD night. I would have been fine if I just ate that one serving of pretzels I had allowed for...but NOOOO, I had to go back for seconds. And while passing through the dining room to hit the ladies room, that huge box of chocolates left over from Christmas started to call my name...and 5, yes FIVE pieces later, I said ENOUGH! and threw the rest of the box in the trash. That, plus the short hike versus my normal long one, equates to a weight gain today. Well, I THINK it does, didn't get weighed today because of it. (chuckle) I'll try to be UBER good today, then WI again tomorrow morning, and hopefully at least be holding my own. But 1500 calories a day seems to be a good place for me right now, allowing me to slowly drop the pounds without feeling like I'm starving. In fact, I often have to force the last of my meals into my mouth, be make sure I get enough calories to be able to continue feeling so great every day! (I've noticed if I burn TOO many more than I take in, I begin to feel week, lethargic, no energy...hate feeling like that.)

And today is the last day of the working week...it's FRIDAY Y'ALL! :D Bought my hubby a new desktop gaming rig because I was so tired of him always saying "gee, that game looks like fun! But it won't run on my laptop..." lol He has a nice gaming laptop, but he's right, the video card won't handle most of the really COOL games. Sooo...I surprised him wish him own gaming computer that WILL handle the best games out there. (Made sure he has the same video card that I have, because I know what mine can do! lol) It arrived yesterday, and tomorrow our cable company is coming out to direct wire it to our router. (Wifi slows down the game just enough to be a PITA.) Gonna be a hot time in the ol' house this weekend! lol Can't wait to see which game he picks first to try out...Bioshock:Infinity, Resident Evil 6, OR...dun dun DUNNNNN...Titan Quest! ROFL It's an oldie but goodie I've been playing that Steam is offering now, and his laptop didn't handle Steam well. lol Look out Diablo-clone, here comes GRIMSKULL!!! ROFL

ANYway, wishing everyone a healthy, happy and OP Friday! Now I'M out for my walk! :) Hoping for 5+ miles today, will be sweet in this cold! :) LATERZ!

Well done Char. I've been having difficulties because of birthday parties - one for a two-year-old and one for my brother's 60th (both involved tables laden with lovely food) and other social occasions. But I'm back on my food packs now and determined to lose all the extra weight I'm carrying by Easter. Have a wedding to go to at the end of May, so must be my healthy weight and look good in a new dress. I have to keep reminding myself how great I feel when I am not overweight. Some supermodel said 'Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels'. Well, I don't want to be thin and I think models and society that encourage kids to be thin are immoral, but I do sort of know what she means... Slim, rather than thin, though.
