Took the kids to San Diego last week. Just got the pictures from the waterproof camera back from Walmart. Going to have to be a little more than "half-tempted" to lose some weight.
I look at friends and family who are overweight and most of them are struggling with Type 2 Diabetes. Is this what I want for my future? I recognize that I eat due to stress, but does the food I cram in my mouth do anything to banish or lessen the stress, or does it just create more stress over my health and my self image?
Ad-man called me a couple of weeks ago and invited me to a pool party. What, am I going as a beach ball? No, I stayed home, and if I had been thinner I would have gone and enjoyed myself. How sad has it gotten when I won't participate in social activities, and won't even wear shorts or a bathing suit because I'm ashamed.
So while this blog did not begin as a way to hold myself accountable, I think I will use it that way for a while. Do me a favor . . . if we're going out to eat, and I order crap, give me the raised eyebrows, would ya?

Ouch.
Awright, on behalf of those who'd like to hear your half tempted ways for some time to come:
First, skip beating yourself up and go straight to obstacle removal.
Second - do 20-40 minutes of cardio day. Could be walking, could be whatever. Miss a day? So what. Start again the day after. In fact you should probably build at least one rest day if for nothing else, then to avoid tedium.
Third, well, there's more of course, but leave it at that for now. I probably already sound like a horse's ass, so, yeah...
Finally, blah blah blah (and I love you) blah blah blah.
Me!
Ad-man,
You know I know this stuff. I know that salad is better than ice cream for lunch.
Chicken and egg kinda thing? Am I fat because I'm depressed or depressed because I'm fat? It's not what I'm eating, it's what's eating me?
Anyway, blah, blah, blah (and I love you too, thanks) blah blah blah.
Me!
