Diet Musings, part 2

I haven't written here in a while. My diet is non-existent eg I ate a couple of handfuls of miniature marshmallos just now and my meal portions could be a lot smaller. This has been a disastrous month diet-wise. I managed to lose 5lbs last month but only a miracle could save me this Thursday when I weigh in again. I am going to ask for another "fill" and see if I can get this stomach smaller so it will hold less. I was able to eat a plateful of supper  earlier and I shouldn't be able to eat much more than a cupful of food.

It's like weight-Watchers. You know you had a bad week, and the best you can do is weigh in, take your dressing-down and make another start with a bright shiny new slate. I honestly can't feel the effects of having this implanted device...well maybe if I could, I would be extremely careful what, and how much I put in my stomach.

However I am riding my incumbent bike 20 minutes twice a day for what it's worth. I know that if I don't restrict my eating I might as well not bother. But at least I can tone my legs if nothing else.

This has also been a hard month family situation-wise, lots of stress (therefore lots of stress eating, a habit I would like to break forever.) Also the miserable cold and snowy weather never did sit well with me. Some like the cold but it only makes me miserable. It doesn't help that we have to keep the thermostat lower because of the cost. Just makes me want to stay in my nice warm bed all day, and when I do get up, I have no ambition to do anything.

To this end I have asked DH to wake me up about 7:30am rather than the 9 am he usually does for the discipline because this is what I do on the weekend anyway. I get up at 7am and  eat and get ready for work. This includes of course The Dreaded Shower. It is soooo cold. I told myself I would do this every day, but this am I did not shower. Tomorrow I promise I will shower. I have to get in some kind of routine. Routine works for me...when I can establish one
