If I had my way reading would be ‘light activity’ and knitting would be ‘moderate activity’. (after all something is moving)  But that’s not the way it is so I decided to take up Julie’s  challenge to lose 10 lbs by Easter.   When I read her blog this morning  all I had to do was picture the scale reading 163 when I stepped on it Easter morning and I was hooked.  If stepping up my activity level is what I have to do, well so be it.   If you’re interested just check in with her (bleckwoman) and give her your starting weight…..easy, right?    s.

forgot to put my weight tracker on for all to see.

It’s about time, down 2 lbs.  Guess I’m over that sticky spot on my tracker.  I thought I’d be stuck on 175 forever.  Now to get to that mini-goal.  Talk to you all later…….s

You remember how I planned to give up snacking for Lent?   I went to church services Ash Wednesday and I swear to you all, the preacher was looking directly at me when she said, “You do not give up something for Lent for personal gain, as for instance giving up food to lose weight.”  How did she know?  Well, I am hoping I won’t go straight to Hell for hoping to kill two birds with one stone.  Can I not honor living a Christian Life, and if I lose a little weight in the process, well so much the better. ?    I think if I displease The Lord, he will show me by no weight loss.  I’ll let you all know in 38 days.  lol

Here it is…Sat again and no loss.  I should be happy to stay the same, since I have had no exercise all week.  No water aerobics, no walking (except down to the mailbox, thanks to ice & snow it was a little workout) didn’t even get in for choir practice.  My car was stuck down by the mailbox all week.  So it is amazing I didn’t gain.  It’s still a bummer when the scales don’t go down.  Have you ever noticed that, even when you know you have been off track, you still approach the scales with hope in your heart?  And even though you know you deserve a  gain you are brutally disappointed when you have one?  I think the point is not to get so disappointed that you give up.  So, this week anyway, hope springs anew………I will have a loss next Saturday.   I am making that a promise to myself.  (only 4 days til Lent begins, that should help)
