As hoped, declaring goals online and writing about my progress has helped. I have walked or worked out every day this week. Today I even multi-tasked and walked to the library to deposit my books in the book drop -- a long walk. (I have been given so many lately that I didn't need to check out any more.) I'm working out hard enough each time that I come home sweaty and in need of a shower. Gotta be burning those calories!
Lesley also steered me to a wonderful website -- The Daily Plate at LiveStrong -- that helps me log my calories, carbs, sodium, etc, as well as exercise. It's free and it is helping me stick to my diet -- mostly. Last night Ryan and Nancy were here for dinner and I made brownies for dessert. I almost always make brownies when I need dessert. With typical post-menopausal-female logic I skipped the rice with my teriyaki chicken and veggies and salad, but ate three brownies after. Some people need gin, I need brownies. Guess I will have to find a new standard dessert.
The patient is no longer a patient. He is feeling as good as his doctor says he is doing! One little glitch: it only took him two days to realize he LIKES hanging around all day in his jammies and robe. It's 5:30 and he still isn't dressed. I'm going to have to get him out of the house early each day so he will get dressed. I, of course, am making my own bold fashion statement in jeans, cozy fleece top, and straw flip flops decorated with margarita glasses.
