No wonder they call it "London Fog" (because that's what I'm in most of the time--my clouded & feeble mind, not the raincoat!!)

Good morning, one & all: So, the problem with blogging here @ work, as I tried to do again the other day during lunch, is that if you get distracted, you don't finish (me? DISTRACTED?? Imagine...?)--even during lunch, like most jobs, the phones still ring constantly & no matter how many people may be in that day or not, everybody's always doing something; so, I never got much past the opening paragraph, didn't bother reviewing or saving what I wrote & (full disclosure here), don't actually remember where my mind was taking my thoughts that day (again: IMAGINE?? LOL)--anyway, here's a little catch-up post: on Monday, as she said she would, my nutritionist e-mailed me a customized program laying out all I need to know to get this endeavor more fine-tuned & running; a more detailed breakdown of what my intake should be as far as carbs/fats/diary/meats/veggies/snacks, etc. throughout a normal day of eating--also, how many a calories a day I should be taking in & focusing on, reminders of what I should eat more or less of overall, etc.--so last nite, the wife & I did some grocery shopping & I got pretty much all the stuff outlined in the packet she sent; like most folks who do these kinds of diets (formalized like Atkins/South Beach, etc. or with a nutritionist or combination of both), I have to already get used to eating multiple smaller meals & snacks throughout the day--now don't get me wrong, eating has never been a problem for me, & as most people will tell you, big portions have always been how I roll & portion control never my big forte (although I was getting better even before I embarked on this new road last October/November)--but since I am serious about this whole thing (& am also trying to increase my walking--did a total of 3 & a 1/2 miles total yesterday, adding up all I did before & between my 2 buses, between the 2nd bus & work, after work in-between the transportation, then before I actually got home, did a good mile & a 1/2 of that to finish up; I do have to do more of the biking consistently (haven't filled the tires lately--not a good excuse I know, but all the rain hasn't helped my desire to do that either) & I exercise @ least 2x a day (mostly morning & evening, but I add some during the day: power-walking in place, knee & leg-lifts, stretches, etc)--but it's all good, & will continue to get better (this way, you all can continue to be thrilled & entertained by a ever-healthier me for years to come!! Okay, don't all clap & be excited at once!!  LOL)--until next time, folks :)

  2. Yep I have found I have stopped at 29 pounds. I am not worried as I feel better but I mean I would like the scale to show me some love :-)
    I think all the walking you are doing is awesome (I need to walk more) and it's very inspiring! I am intrigued by this power walking in place. Tell me more..
