New Part Time Job

It dawned on me you have to think of weight loss as a part-time job.  The time spent exercising, the time spent reading labels at the grocery store, the time in food prep ( no more fast food!!!), the time to record or log everything that goes through you lips. It really adds up. I'm guessing maybe 10 hours a week.  Perhaps my brain never really wrapped around the fact that spending this time on yourself will guarantee that you are around in the future to spend more time with people you love.  I went for a walk today instead of swimming.  The pool gets chlorine on Fridays so I try to stay away.  As I was walking I was reading.  I know I looked odd.  I love to read.  Plus, my scale says I gained weight.  Probably because I ate dinner at 11:30 pm when we got home from the theater.  I'm hoping that is the reason.  I truly did not cheat yesterday.  I'm scheduled to feed my daughter's horses today while she is out of town.  I wonder how  many calories that will use up?

Sincerely,

I'm not Oprah
