01 January 2012

Just restarted my diet as of 1/1/12-Got new scales and they had a different weight than when I just signed up for the program. So I'm beginning with 5 more pounds. I figure the hardest part will be in the first week or so and interrupting my pattern of having my first glass of wine with the Barefoot Contessa cooking showing in the afternoon. Also am realizing that my drinking was really tied to feeling frustrated with my relationship and I either had to cope with it and find new ways of keeping it interesting and enjoyable or numb out the frustration with wine. (Had been a scotch drinker, but after a bout of pancreatitis in '92, my doc said-no more hard stuff. So I took the easy way out and changed to Chards, but didn't do the hard work of changing the relationship. Now with a decade plus, I've goten smarter (and hopefully wiser and realize that I've got a pretty incredible relationship in spite of its downside(s)-so taking a step back from the bad coping behavior may not be as bad as I imagine).

Next to the last day of the year-getting a leap on all those resolutions we make while under the influence of a New Year's Day. Having gone through three shoulder surgeries this year, I was finally informed by the hospital dietitian that I was seriously deficient in my protein intake-very useful information-and long overdue! Her main message to me was that I should immediately start rethinking my nutritional choices, plus up my exercise from standing up, then sitting back down in front of my computer-NOT acceptable for burning calories or maintaining muscle tone! And at my age I should be able to call BS on my own excuses. So first thing I did was get a wonderful, frisky, very friendly Cairn Terrier Rufus) that absolutely requires walking everyday, otherwise I will have one very morose dog on my hands. It's been a month now and I've pretty much changed my exercise routine-what routine you ask? OK, OK, I now have a walking routine and am not allowing myself or the weather to provide any excuse for not walking. I do it five days, on the sixth, I rest, but send Rufus to a wonderful service, "It's all about the dogs" where they have huge indoor and outdoor playgrounds for dogs and Rufus comes home happy and tired. On the 7th day, I explore new ways to exercise, like getting back into my photography and take Rufus with me.
