Where are you people?

OK, so you all failed miserably. I have not written in 10 days. I could have robbed a bakery at gun point and none of you would have known. The whole reason I have this blog is because I am a big loser with the determination of an ant. I need you guys to yell at me!!! Get drill Sergent on my ass. For real! I am giving you the green light to go for it but NO...not one single shout out.

Here is what I have suffered through in the last 10 days:
1) I started my period...enough said!
2) There was a snow storm that dropped 10 inches of snow on my walking loop.
3) There were 4 days of below zero temp, -10 actually.
4) I have not lost 1 oz. in a week. I haven't gained, but I haven't lost.
5) We are in full Christmas baking mode (no good for no carbohydrates)
6) ...I am not sure, but I know there must be a six somewhere. I'll have to think about it.

Besides for all that, I guess it has been a good week. I am feeling like if I only lose weight, my whole world would be a better place. Now, you and I both know that is not true. I think that if I was only 50 pounds lighter, all our problems would be fixed. So why is it that I am not doing anything this week about it? This is something I really want, yet I am not doing anything. I am trying to figure out how you enjoy walking outside when it is subzero. Would I do better with a gym membership or would that be just another thing I feel guilty about not doing? Not sure. Just a few ramblings off the top of my head.

Now the positive. When I am hungry, I am going for a protein choice instead. I am reading a book educating me on the reasons why carbohydrates are not a good choice for me. I am learning the long term effects on the choices I make now. Education is the best method...right?

HEAR ME WORDS...IF YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ME...I NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU! THIS IS MY CRY OUTFOR HELP. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!

Day 19, 1 man, 2 dogs



What a beautiful day in Western Colorado. The sun came out just long enough for William and I to take the doggies for a walk downtown. It is so much fun to see him get on board for all of this. The dogs are much happier, so I am.

I am having a hard time getting over the munchies. I feel like my jaw needs more exercise. It needs to be chewing. Maybe gum would help. I am doing great with exercising everyday, but the munchies are getting to me. Any suggestions?

Walking the mall

I just found the most wonderful spot to walk in the morning. Here in Fruita, it is getting quite cold. Finding a way to walk when it is 20 degrees outside it tough to come by. This morning I dicided to go to the mall. The stores are closed but the doors are open. I also learned that there is a following of people who do this. Very smart and very warm. After about 10 minutes, I had to take off a layer of clothes. I popped on my headset and off I went. 45 minutes at a pretty good clip should have made that about a 2.5 mile morning.

So, if you are looking for a spot...there is my TIP OF THE DAY!
