Hello People!!!

I haven't posted lately because I haven't been proud of myself.  I've gained at least 10lbs and I can see it and feel it in my gut.  Why am I gaining?  Because I'm craving chips and ice cream (low-fat but too much quantity) and I'm sitting on my ass eating those things instead of being outside staying busy.  I guess I'm feeling depressed and food is my comfort.  I don't feel deeply depressed; it's just that there are some things in life out of my control and that makes me feel frustrated and unmotivated to work on the things I can control.  And even the things I can control haven't gone well lately (see the "Dinah" thread and the problems people are having with the playback).  So, I get lazy and don't do anything for my benefit.  Terrible thing to do especially when I've had such great results and I get encouragement/support from you guys.

I could blame the rain which was non-stop for the past couple months, but that's a bad excuse.  And I could say I haven't been to the Y as my upper back (cervical) has been causing pain down my left arm but again that's a bad excuse. 

On a positive note, I have stayed busy recently finishing a project in my backyard.  I feel great when I'm working and enjoying the outdoors.  I have more projects to do (cleaning/staining the deck, power-washing the driveway, building steps on the other side of my deck, getting my hot-tub to work, doing more MF DVDs, etc); I just need to push myself through the down feelings.

Keep posting your results; you guys do motivate me with your success and the fact that you care about my health.

Peace.
