Slowing down

I lost 2lbs this week, helping to offset the prior week's weirdness. I'm finding it harder and harder to behave - I've been trying to find ways to distract myself so that I don't resort to boredom eating. It's an old habit and I still catch myself doing it sometimes. Nerves trigger it too, but for the most part I've been pretty calm all around.

I didn't do so well with the exercise thing this week. Hoping to get back on track this week.

Speed bumps

Another short update... I gained 2.8 pounds as of my last weigh-in. I'm not really sure what went wrong. I did have a fairly rough weekend in Cape Cod, but didn't go over. I was also fine for the rest of the week. I guess I'm just going to be more careful and hope that this week is better.

On the bright side, I've started exercising (well, just walking for now). I just need to make sure I remain consistent. I'm also interested in taking up yoga, but I haven't really initiated that yet. I know where I want to go, I just have to make it happen.

Quick update

Last weigh-in was 137lbs. That makes the tally exactly 60 at this point. :o

One year later...

Yesterday marked an entire year since the whole eating habit change thing. I feel infinitely better than I did a year ago, that's for sure. It's also becoming more difficult to remain disciplined. The final challenge for me is trying to become motivated enough to exercise - but after all this time I still haven't gotten around to it.

I don't know if it's because I've gotten so much stuff done in the past year - graduating, promotion at work, dealing with some internal demons, the eating thing (obviously), and now I'm working on getting a new car really soon. It's strange - I've accomplished more in the past year than I have in the 9 years before it. I now feel weird when I'm not working hard to achieve something. I used to spend the majority of my time trying to do as little as possible. I somehow managed to do a complete 180 - I hope I can keep it up.
