170 Lbs. Quite an achievement I must admit. Yet I am not happy. Lately I seem to never be wholly happy. Especially after having gone through one of those weeks were exercise seemed to never come to fruition. SO what is new. To be honest, not much really. What could be more boring than a life of work, work, work ..... Truth is that I feel that I have nothing to say. Or if I do, who'd want to hear it? I have come to the conclusion that I have a Facebook, but nobody really reads any of my posts. I have a Twitter account, why? I hardly tweet. I find myself thinking of myself as BORING. With nothing to say. Just like what I am doing now. Ranting about nothing. :) I like Twitter though. Lots of news in a very fast paced environment. It allows venting. Fast.
But isn't that what blogging is all about? Talking about everything. Ranting about nothing. So I am forgetting what this is all about. Am I? This morning I came across a post stating one can make bread in a crock pot. Yes, You heard me, in a CROCK POT. I am trying this really soon. Fresh bread. Maybe good and tasty fresh bread..... To be taken seriously. I will definitely blog about this one after I have tried it.

Then there is the issue of the work outs ... Haven't been working out a lot lately even if I try to walk 2 miles every day. Then there is the "Total Gym". Oh I use it. But do I use it enough? I happen to majorly dislike all forms of forced exercise. Never liked it. But, at 53, let's say there exists a real necessity for movement. Lots of movement. Without movement, bulging has a tendency to accumulate around the waist and make you look like ..... Yeah like this. UGH! And take into consideration that this picture was taken after a 13 pound loss .... So earnestly, i am getting there. Slowly. Really slowly. I hate being fat. I hate to have to see the image the mirror reflects and I hate even more that I seemingly accepted this "new" me. It slows me down. It takes away my self confidence. It gnaws at my self-respect. But as things are today, I have but no other choice than to slowly, ever so slowly, lose all this weight that obviously didn't get there in one week.
TIP: I stopped counting calories very seriously. I read the labels. I Check nutritious contents. I go for fresh produce. I eat grains. And pasta. I lost the sweets, and the drinks before and after and I just go for one glass of red wine a day. And, it struck me I lost one extra pound the week I had no wine. I refuse processed foods if I can. Oh, and I also use small dinner plates and take no second helpings.
Recipe for tonight's dinner : Chicken with rice, pineapple and curry. Accompanied by freshly roasted peppers and some broccoli .....
Bon appetit! Buen appetito! Enjoy!!
Hey, Noelle! Don't worry about not being read ... I read you. And as for being boring, don't feel bad about that, everyone is boring! It's the nature of the Internet. We are fed the promise of connecting to a larger world, but in reality, Facebook and Twitter does the opposite; it isolates us from humanity. We are being constantly bombarded by information trying to grab our attention. It's information overload, if you ask me. At least you are a genuine person and I prefer that to cartoons and soundbites.
