Uh-oh... It's that time again!

Tomorrow is the end of our latest two week challenge, wherein we were to lose 4lbs. I'm afraid to say I don't think I've lost a single ounce in the last two weeks! Certainly at last week's weigh-in I hadn't... Still at the same 222lbs I was at the week before. Which in and of itself is not a BAD thing, per se... Better to stay steady at one weight than to have gained, that's for sure! However, tomorrow is the payday weigh-in, and I would really like to have lost at least SOMETHING this week!

As the weather changes I can see that food is going to become much more of an issue. Through the summer months - or at least the last 6 weeks or so - eating light hasn't been much of a problem, even though it's been a dramatic change to our "normal" diet. With the warm weather, it's easy to eat less, and to eat lighter foods like salads. As we move into the colder weather (it's dropping to 48 degrees tonight, supposedly!!), the temptation is going to be to eat "stodgier" foods - goulashes, spaghettis, etc. - certainly not salads! So the next few weeks / months are definitely going to be a new challenge!

Exercise is still an issue. I rode my bike to work more last week, which was good - partly because I'd made a commitment to the kids in my Sunday School class to ride it as part of our Creation Caretaker week, and partly because I really did want to ride it & get the exercise. This week I've only ridden it once so far, on Tuesday - and even then, only one round trip, rather than two. I do go to work tomorrow, and I will ride it - weather permitting - at least one round trip (i.e., 2 miles). The 2nd round trip I will have to take my laptop to work (believe it or not, we don't have any "normal" computers at work - only the ones that run the POS system), as I've got a project I need to try to finish for work. And it's impossible to ride my bike and take the laptop along!!

So we shall see what we see tomorrow morning... The Heifer account is at least looking healthy! We got the first bank statement today, and it is currently sitting at $134.50. If we keep this up, we'll have enough to buy an entire ox by next July!!! :0)
