Last summer, I ordered the DDP Yoga DVDs. I'm getting older, it's not really pleasant to walk around here before or after work (not a lot of sidewalks, poor street lighting, very hot in summer, rather cold in winter, lots of rain year-round), so I wanted a different exercise option. However, one thing happened after another and I put off starting ( Read more... )

I was going through my bathroom cabinet drawers and found my old body measuring devices. This sparked guilt for not keeping up with the measurements and curiosity to how things stand now. So, I measured.

I've just cancelled my Nutrisystem subscription after being on it for about a year. I lost a decent amount of weight at first, but then I sort of plateaued, and then I started eating out for lunch again and started gaining a little back.

Today I hauled myself onto a scale and didn't like the number I saw: 249.6#. I'm glad I didn't go back over 250, but it's still a gain when I am trying to lose.

Down a little, to 244.8 lbs. this morning.

Because of the diabetic education appointment, I didn't get to do my usual lunch routine yesterday. I'm up slightly, to 245.2 lbs. this morning.

Hardly noticeable at all: 244.8 lbs. today.

Despite attending a convention and not following my usual diet for three days, I made good progress on the weight front. I'm down to 245.0 lbs. now.
