Well, tomorrow starts a new “plan” for my eating. They say the definition of insanity is, “Doing the same thing and expecting different results.” After over a month of staying below an average of 1,800 calories a day and 3 weeks of walking 6 miles a day, all I’ve accomplished is MAINTAINING my current weight of 193 (basically no loss). One thing I’m going to be doing differently, starting sometime this month (June), is switching completely from drinking 8-12 cans of diet root beer a day to drinking ONLY water and hot tea. I still have a 15-20 day supply of soda, but when it’s gone, it’s GONE for good. Not paying any more for 12-pack sodas, EVEN if they are Buy 2 Get100 FREE!!! I’m also not buying any more for my grand children. Starting tomorrow (Monday), things are going to be different. I’m going to be increasing my Fats and Protein and reducing my Net Carbs and calories. I’m basically only going to be having carbs from fruit and vegetables. I’d like to be able to average under 1,600/day. I’m also vowing to not have ANY bread, desserts, pretzels/chips until I make a homemade, from scratch, German Chocolate Cake for my birthday on 6/20. I’ll have ONE slice on my birthday, and 1 slice the day after, and I’m giving away ALL the rest of it (except 2 slices for my husband). I’ll really miss my King’s Hawaiian Rolls in the middle of the night.

Well, on my 22nd day of walking, I was having a really bad day emotionally and only walked 4 miles. The day after that, I was still upset with myself over breaking my 21-day record, but I went ahead and walked my normal 6 miles. Day before yesterday, I was still beating myself up, so I decided to DO something about it instead of just feeling bad. I walked 7 miles instead of 6! I did the same yesterday, 7 miles, so I have “made up” the two miles I missed on Day #22. I hope y’all won’t think I’m “cheating,” but I’m going to say I’ve walked 6 miles every day for 25 days. I DID get in all the miles, even though I had to make up for that 4-mile day. It still averages 6 miles a day, every day for 25 days. I feel much better about myself after having made amends for the day I ALMOST blew my record. We have to give each other grace, and need to extend that same grace to ourselves.

Ok, going to try again with the update. I’ve kept calories under 1,800 a day since 3/18. In that time I’ve only lost 12 pounds. In the past month and a half, I’ve only lost 4 pounds. I started walking 6 miles a day three weeks ago and have done it every day for 21 days! Some days it has been REALLY hard, because my MIL got hospitalized 4 days ago, and I’ve been making the 40-minute drive most days to sit with her for 7-8 hours to relieve my husband and SIL. On those days, I’ve had to get UP between 11:30 and 1:30 to start walking to leave for the hospital at first light (5:30am). The situation with my daughter has calmed down, the noise level (cursing, screaming, fighting, throwing things) has gone down since we had a family meeting and told them they were all moving OUT if it doesn’t stop.

Well, on the diet/exercise front, things are going very well. I’ve got 15 consecutive days of walking six miles a day under my belt. My back has been REALLY hurting, every day, so it’s been a challenge. Yesterday, I could only walk 1/2 mile at a time, but I got it all in before bedtime. Calories have averaged under 1,800/day for several weeks. On the home front, though, things are in even more turmoil. My daughter’s boyfriend beat her up while she was driving! She told a friend about it, and the friend told the guy’s heavy metal band and his job where he is a bartender. He got fired from his job and is suspended from the band while they investigate. My daughter (38) is VERY depressed and do embarrassed by all this, and by has received death threats from fans of the band. Daily soap opera around me!!!
