Char Gets Thin's Journal, 16 January 2014

Ok, NOW we're talking! I'm past the "holiday surplus" and into the actual weight I'd gained since September! Now those numbers moving down mean a lot more to me than water weight! :D

It's chilly out again this morning. 37 degrees right now, which for Floridians is equal to 15 in NJ! Our blood really IS thinner and we DO feel the cold more! LOL But hey, it won't stop me from getting in my daily hike. Just wish I could find my old woven gloves...wearing LONG black driving gloves isn't the warmest thing for your hands, and kinda looks ridiculous down here! ;)

Dink is doing good, but still not up to a long hike cross country...but HE doesn't know that and is going to be heart broken when I take Val and leave him here. :( But he IS doing good, we did 1/2 mile yesterday (he was ready to keep going, but I didn't want to push a good thing) and he was BARELY sore by dinner time. He's only gotten one pain pill a day for the past 2 days, too, so that's a huge improvement. I think he'll be up to a nice, but shorter, walk at Rails To Trails this weekend. Which isn't just good for him, it's great for my hubby too, who has been using Dink's hip as an excuse to not walk on weekends. Yeah, MEN! ROFL

Tomorrow is my actual WI day, so I even went on holiday mode in my game, just so I'd be that much more active today! I'll be happy with another 1/2 pound loss for WI...but I'd be ECSTATIC if I could manage a .8 or greater loss...because that would put me into the 182 range. THEN I could work to hit the 170s next week, instead of still struggling through the 80s. See, I was 176 last September, which was the lowest I've weighed in about 3 years! (Which is why I've made 175 my first goal weight. ;) ) Kinda peeves me that the weight comes off in tiny portions of a pound increments, yet goes on in multiple pound gains! LOL I know, I know, EVERYONE'S favorite complaint.

Well, gonna get started on my day. Hope y'all are having a great OP Thursday! OH...and a few people had recommended that I Try Calorie Counter, another site like FS, but with an easier to use recipe builder. I tried it last night, and absolutely love it! It gives me the COMPLETE nutritional data on everything I eat, as well as my daily totals instead of just tracking 6 major data points. Haven't tried the recipe builder yet, but so far I'm mightily impressed with the site. :) Oh, no worries, I'm still a FS member...but it's great having multiple sites to work with. And hate to say it, but I think WW might just be losing a paying customer...I'm getting SO much more info, data, and life changing help via FS and CC! And I'm STILL not sure exactly what a "point" is? ROFL

Remember...we CAN do this! :)
