November 1

I guess I need to make some changes around here. I didn't finish at WW and I didn't run in KC, so I need a new focus and to keep all my loyal readers (Hi MARY!) coming back. Perhaps I will try and participate in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) and post everyday. I can try anyway...

This is Official Diet Month at my house. We have all gained some weight. Maddie is up to 27 pounds! That's huge! Mostly she is just a big girl with long legs and hips. (Or is that me....?) But I think she could stand to lose a few pounds. Tim and I are also very interested in losing a few. Well, I am interested in losing more than a few... So, if I agree to blog everyday it will be a good way to keep accountable.

It is very hard to not gain weight when not working out. I don't know how people could possibly expect to ever lose without a serious exercise program. Since I haven't worked out since the end of September, I have lost muscle tone and gained fat. I am heeled up enough in the butt area to start a program again. I just have to be smarter about rest. As in, I need to rest at least once a week or more. Also as in, no more 5 hour workout days.

So! Here is to Official Diet month, Seeing progress on the scale, Getting sensible workouts in, and not eating crap!
