The morning is pretty much gone but I have accomplished a little. I managed 40 minutes on the elliptical (yea!) and my routine chores so I am taking a break before lunch and will get back out into the garden this afternoon since it is so beautiful again today. My other afternoon task is to shampoo the dining room chairs and do some spot cleaning on the carpets (pets...grrrr).
I am happy to see the scale dropping. I should see the excess I put on in Michigan disappear in no time and I can get back to business ridding myself of the "old" fat. Does that mean I will look younger when it is gone? lol
Busy weekend coming up. Saturday morning I have to help peel and slice apples for 100+ servings of apple crisp. Sounds daunting but with my handy dandy apple peeler/corer/slicer it will take no time! Don't know if I will go to the dinner, I feel pretty stingy with calories right now. I want to spend them only on exceptional food and I don't know what dinner will be. However I know the dance after will be great fun so I am sure we will go and kick up our heels. Sunday I will be having friends in for an intimate dinner party and I know that food will be excellent! Now I need to come up with something fun for after, maybe cards or a movie.

Another beautiful day in Western Colorado! Sunny, clear blue skies, clean air. I think am in heaven! I definitely will be out getting some vitamin D today. I should clean up my garden and wash some windows. Sounds like a good plan.
Have I said how much I love my little house? After 6 weeks in my daughter's huge place with 3 little ones it is clear to me that I really prefer less real estate. What it takes to vacuum the carpets in her house is all it takes to do all my housework and have an immaculate home. Well, maybe not immaculate, I really need to do some painting. That will have to wait till spring though, it is time to start using the fireplace.
So the good habits are coming back. I am on the elliptical everyday. Now it is time to push it up to the good, long, sweaty workouts that burn fat. Diet wise, getting there. Giving up the sugar is always so hard but such a big deal for my "bottom line". ; ) For me, staying away from sugar is singularly the best thing I can do. So addictive and those empty calories really make a difference! The other thing I have to concentrate on is DRINK MORE WATER! I should strap a container on my back like a backpack so I have it with me constantly. Actually, a really big container of water would add quite a bit of weight to lug around which would help build muscle and burn fat. hmmmm... could that be my million dollar idea?

So this is what I am realizing about me. I am very satisfied to sit and do nothing. What I am saying is I just don't need a lot of activity to be content. In my mind I totally understand the calories in calories out of weight management, it is my personality that is slow in adapting into a more acive lifestyle. Now, I know personality changes happen, i.e. PMS, pychosis, etc. ; ) Shouldn't I be able to make some change in my personality so that it requires more activy to content. How do I find this discontentment?
Ah! You know, journaling really is therapeutic! ($75 per hour, thank you very much!) Just thinking through that last paragraph made me realize how wrong my thinking was. It is not some flaw in my personality. Of course I already have that discontentment. It is called depression. When I kept a mood log, it was regular exercise that brought my mood up. The problem is that when the drop in mood is very gradual, almost indistinquishable on a day to day basis. Finally, over time, I realize the drop and by then it is a fight with myself to start moving again. I remember with my last time round of depression it was so difficult to get started. My mind was screaming just do it, yet I wouldn't. I will not go back to that. That is my discontent. Starting today, I am going to see activity in a new way. Instead of focussing on how important it is to weight maintenance, which it is, my focus will be on the importance of controlling depression.
