Procrastinating Doesn't Pay

Well, I have been holding off writing because I don't seem to be going anywhere. Hmmm. I'm still having trouble sticking to this. At least I am not gaining. Of course I say that and I have gained about 3 pounds. Then I take it off and I am so excited I cheat. I really wanted to take off another 10 pounds before the holiday. I have got to get more motivated. I have Mom and Kathy coming to visit this week. Then we are going to Delaware for Hunter's birthday next week. Then my niece is coming to visit for a week in November. I have some of John's family coming for Thanksgiving. Damn, this makes it sooooo hard. I have got to give up the excuses.

I went shopping with Christy and bought the cutest outfit. Thanks to Christy's great taste. I feel so good when I wear it. I really want to go shopping again but I need to lose some more. This is crazy!!

I feel like I am on a vent. I told John I wanted a bottle of Port. I just felt like having a drink--and I will say I have been pretty good with not drinking. So once every 2 months is not bad. What does John do? He brings home the huge--gallon size bottle. I constantly tell him not to do that because then I just want to drink it until it is gone. He can only think on value. It is cheaper. I guess I just have to go out and buy a drink at a bar rather than have a small bottle at home. Did you know alcohol stops the protein from doing its job of breaking down the calories? I might not be 100% on that information but I do know it works against the fat burning. It's the only thing that really keeps me from drinking.

I did go for a hike with Tony and his friend and we hiked for hours going up and down a mountain. OMG! my legs are still so sore. I really need to keep up with the exercise but that one day was more than I usually get in a week.

Well, I am going to get better about blogging on here so I can continue losing weight. I think it helps when I am telling everyone--well both of you who actually read this.
