Well, I just had the worst dieting week since I started. I can only hope it is only temporary and that I get right back on the program. It was really hard and it made me think about the maintenance stage. Since I started, if I did not know how many calories I was consuming I did not eat it. Except for last week when I ate pretty much what I wanted and then guessed the calorie count. When I hit the maintenance stage I can not image only eating things that I know the calorie count. What am I going to do? Have not weighed in and don't plan on weighing in until Thursday for Friday.

Thursday Dec 22, 915 kcal
Friday Dec 23, 1480 kcal
Saturday Dec 24, 935 kcal
Sunday Dec 25, 1155 kcal
Monday Dec 26, 1570 kcal
Average 1056 kcal, It's not as bad as I though it was, if I guesstimated correctly. Looks like last week was even worse. Somehow I am having trouble focusing and remembering the goal. I need to get healthy and fit into my clothes. I need to get healthy and fit into cute clothes, I need to get healthy and fit into cute clothes....

Unexpected Interruptions
Due to unexpected interruptions my diet plans had to be put on hold for a few days. My internet access has been limited until yesterday so I was not able to make an blog entry, but I think I am back on schedule. I know better than to try to make up for too many calories consumed, so my plan now is to just go forward and not try to make up for lost time. After all the journey it just as much a part of my plan as the final destination. In fact, I know how to deal with the journey better than the destination because I have take the journey so many times.80.27 kg.
The first picture I took was on the 14th of November, so I took another on December 14th. I wanted to post last week, but I got waylaid, so I am posting that picture this week. I think I look fatter in this picture than last months, but if you are losing pounds you are not losing inches, hopefully I will lose both inches and pounds even if it not at the same time.

Loosing Focus
This week was fairly easy, but I am not looking forward to the coming week. The closer to Christmas the harder it is going to get. I opted out of the Christmas potluck at work, but I still have to live through, the Christmas party at work (not going is not an option). Then I have a Christmas party for my painting class, and finally Terrie and John are having their annual Christmas party on Saturday. 81.09 Kg.

Avg 775. I seem to go down about a 100 calories a day, every week. Weird.I have notice that while I am never hungry, I am loosing focus. It is how I would image it would be if I had attention deficit without the hyperactivity. Can you have AD without HD?
I finished cataloging my painting books. I have 88 books. I don't believe I need to by buying any more books for a while, anyway. I noticed that Amazon started listing what you bought, last month, rather than just how much you spent, it a nice add on feature. So, if I buy anything else from Amazon, I won't have to gather up all my supplies and start counting, I can just go to my account on the Amazon, sweet! Thank you, Amazon!

While I Ponder Weak and Weary

Nov 29 950

Dec 1 815
Dec 2 820
Dec 3 1084

Avg 897
This week has been cold and dreary, and that certainly doesn't make dieting any easier. Winter time is the time for comfort food, but what am I consuming? Cottage cheese and sushi. 82.8 kg.
My head is pounding, but I think that is due more to a change in barometric pressure than a restricted diet. I spent the day yesterday organizing my craft room. I wrote done all the paints I now own (98), so I won't buy duplicates. I took a photo of all the books I own and I plan on working up a spreadsheet on them. I don't own that many paint brushes, but eventually I will probably have to start and inventory sheet for both brushes and paper. This blog is suppose to be strictly about losing weight, but how do you separate dieting and life?

The scale continues to show I am losing, but my clothes are still tight. My mom always said you don't lose pounds and inches at the same time. Its important to stay focused. The inches will eventually show and at that time the scale will not be moving.

Giving Thanks
I am thankful that I have haven't fallen off the wagon in the last 10 days, and I am hopeful I will be able to stay under 1500 calories tomorrow. I have been averaging 900 calories and if I finish up the week with 900 cals a day I should be okay. Still haven't started walking, but then again, the veins in my right are really bothering me and I don't want to aggregate. Maybe I will start by moving my arms, maybe I can talk my guest for tomorrow into playing the Wii with me.
I have kept menu real simple and my guests are bringing desert. I just need to remember not to over indulge. 83.73 Kg before the carnage.

Week One Summary
I wrote down what I ate over the weekend, not sure I want to continue putting every item on the blog, although it was a good motivator for getting started and for me starting is the hardest part. Maybe I will just record calorie counts .84.5Kg.

1st week comtemplations
I know it has only been five days, but I think I will make a habit of summarizing on Friday rather than Monday. I seem to be doing okay, except I do get fidgity late at night. I am not so much hungry, as I feel like I have a undefined nervous energy.
I would like to post pictures and set up widgets over the weekend, but I have a pretty full weekend, so that may not happen until after Thanksgiving. I do have the 'before' picture, it just a matter of finding the time.
Not sure how Thanksgiving Day will turn out. Right now my plan is to eat controlled portions. Paul is cooking so he may be hurt if no one eats. But right now I now I just need to take one step at a time, and not get too far ahead of myself.
After Thanksgiving I hope to add excercise. I think I will start with the KP Health 2011, It is a 13 week plan and it has to be completed by April 3, 2012. Most everyone else I work with has done the program, but I sort of took most of 2011 off. You choose a path, record minutes excercised. each minutes is worth one mile. Maybe this time I will go to Europe.

Diet is the Penalty you Pay for Exceeding the Feed Limit
My body shape has got out of hand and it is started to interfere with my energy levels, something has to be done. 87.3 kg
Some ideas might be:
1. Post a picture of myself maybe once a month to show progress or at least where my focus is.
2. Post pictures of foods, exercise ideas, diet quotes. Stuff to keep me on track. I do have an idea of how I would like to decorate my Wii room.
3. Vent about touchy-feely stuff no one else should be subject too, but might make me come to terms with myself.
4. My eating might be a tad out of control, but it is my lack of physical activity that is the real issue. At one time I was exercising faithfully but then my varicose veins became an issue and right now I am having a breathing/backache problem, so I have to go lie down. Panic Attack? Pluerisy?
