Making it!

Yesterday, I made my goal, which was to have an On-Program day. Today, I have the same goal and, so far, am making it. I will have the same goal tomorrow, which will be more difficult, since I won't be at work (this hell-hole is at least good for one thing!)

As long as I stay out of the kitchen, I should do okay. Luckily, the upstairs of our house is a total mess, so it's not like I won't have anything to keep me OUT of the kitchen! And I am planning to go swimming tomorrow morning. Actually, I've been planning to swim for months, but have never actually gotten there--but tomorrow shall be the day! I know swimming is not the best exercise for weight loss, but it's something different, and that's what I need right now.

Perhaps, my husband and I will do something active this weekend. Truly, we both could use it--him probably more than me. Rarely does he get any exercise if I'm not there with him and, well, he has no clue about portion control. He *thinks* he knows all about weight loss but he is, sadly, clueless. This is a man who once made himself a dinner of croutons and dried apricots and thought it was "healthy." (He then spent the remainder of the evening in the bathroom....)

Who knows, maybe things will rub off on him. One can only hope!

Congratulations on having an on program day, sometimes that is really hard. I hate my work, but like you, its good for one thing, keeping me on track. When I'm at home, it gets REALLY hard to stay focused. And I do think swimming is great exercise, its supposed to be fabulous for you.

Now, your comments about your husband crack me up. My Chris is the same way, he thinks he knows all about health and nutrition simply by being around me for four years, but alas, what he considers healthy is far from it. You can't make anyone do any of this.
