not sure what my weight is currently because i'm kind of afraid to look. i haven't been walking as much because i've been working at a new job and it's pretty exhausting. at this new job though, i've been using a lot of muscles i know i need to use more... i'm just not sure if i'm working them in the correct way or if it's muscle and joint strain. all i know is that my back has been killing me.
i've been having the worst luck with this job too. within two evenings, i got stung by a bee, slammed my knee into a metal fixture, and pinched my finger in between a moving part of said metal fixture. i blame the exhaustion on me making more mistakes but it's still frustrating.
currently watching the bengals v. patriots game. bengals aren't getting killed yet but their linebackers are in a world of hurt. oh well, hope they get better soon... who dey!
CW: who knows... i'll get back to you in a bit.

walking, walking, walking... :)
for the two weeks, i've walked five or six days a week. one of those days five miles for the 'race for the cure' and one of the days i walked with jenny and oreo at sharon woods for 2.5 miles. i don't think i'm losing weight and i'm really heavy right now but i've got to start somewhere, right? my calves are tighter and i feel a change a-coming. :)

a bit better
i've still been on the high side, weight-wise. i think i hit 190 last week but was too embarrassed to blog about it...
i'm back down a bit, trying to eat better (have added lots of fruit) and exercise (canoing, yay!). i can't go cold turkey, i've proven that much, so i'm trying to exercise moderation, in earnest. it's so hot though that i don't feel like doing anything... and the bike in the basement needs new batteries (the display and resistance run through the battery, apparently), so i'm thinking that i'm going to have to be the one in my family to purchase them because no one else has yet. i have so much support.... anyway.
i really enjoyed canoing on sunday with steve, brett and jenny. we did an eight-mile stint in extremely low water, where i basically freaked out about huge rocks coming our way and steve had to keep getting out and pushing us through the gravelly, silty mess that we kept getting ourselves into. we were so exhausted (in a good way) when we were done that we all just crashed on the beds in jenny's condo. good times. :)

yuckies...
well this is no good at all.
i've been no caring at all about food and stuff... and it shows. maybe it's just the womanly-monthly thing... (period, ok? i said it.) i'm up in weight again when i thought i was looking pretty good. it's a dirty trick intended to bring my self-esteem back down and i don't enjoy it one bit!
i ended up buying a pair of beyonce's "house of dereon" jeans that were pretty heavily discounted and i couldn't pass up the offer because they looked so good (think: 1/3 of the original price). the jeans fit like a dream since i have a booty and a better defined waist (about 10" difference between the two). i brought them over to my boyfriend's house to see if he liked them as much as i did and he was continually amazed at how there was no gap in the back if i bent down to get something or sat down in a chair. they are pretty amazing, let me tell you. and i beamed when he said, "my baby's got booty jeans!" it was so cute.
the reason i want to lose weight still is to be healthier. specifically, i want to be in better shape ( go on the elliptical for more than 10 minutes) and eat at least a couple pieces of fruit and veggies a day. i also think that losing some weight would help with my issue i have with sweating. it's excessive to me, even though it hasn't reached the point that anyone else has noticed, and i sweat more than i used to, sometimes for no reason. it needs to stop.
i'm interviewing at a temping place tomorrow, so hopefully i can stress less about money issues...
