Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

Today I worked out with the Wii for 30 minutes and walked for 30 minutes.  My Wii informed me it had been SIXTY TWO days since my last Wii session.  Well I can confirm that it was pretty damn accurate.  Damn, why am I back to this point again?  I sort of quit exercising when the temps got to 105 and I just couldn’t whip up the energy although I did walk sporadically.

The last time I was on a scale was June 1 and I weighed 180.8#.  I will not weigh again until September 1 and pray that I don’t weigh 190 something.  That is one reason I am waiting 2 weeks to weigh, because I want a little time to get a head start and not be totally depressed about the number I am sure is there.  To that end I am committed to working out an hour a day for the next 5 days.

So how about the other component of this never ending battle?  My eating for the last couple of days has been between 1200 and 1300 calories.  My goal for the next two weeks (and beyond) is to not exceed 1500 calories on any one day.   This is always the problem part for me and it isn’t that I don’t eat extremely well with lots of vegetables and fruit.  I also usually have fish two or three times a week.  So what is the problem?  I have a sweet tooth that doesn’t quit.  I know a cookie won’t tank my diet but the whole bag will and I don’t seem to be able to stop with one. 

Anyway Dear Diary……help me stay the course.  I know how, it’s just the action part that I have a problem with.  See you tomorrow.
