Exercise: several bike rides - 889 calories
Weight: 215.5
Hacker's weight: 215.4
Net Calories: Food(2195) - exercise (889) = Net (111 )
Great choice to ride my bike to seeing patients this afternoon - wonderful riding, awesome weather, felt great. Ate too many brownies making them for the party I can't go to tonight, but was fairly confident that I would be able to exercise enough to make up for them, and in fact did.

Exercise: 3.5 mile walk (377 calories)
Weight: 214.5
Hacker's weight: 215.4
Net Calories: 1577 - 377 = 1200
Maybe numbers are a little off, got pizza from Kennebec Pizza and MFD doesn't do good job with that kind of food. But still okay for the day. Another long day at work, but okay. Greek yogurt made it easier not to go nuts before late dinner. Another instance of getting distracted before getting up to have dessert I thought I wanted, when remembered later - I wasn't hungry any longer.

Thursday 7/7/11
Exercise: 3.5 mile walk (420 calories)
Weight: 215.5
Hacker's weight: 215.5
Net Calories: 1439-420=1019
Good day eating-wise, had more calories left at the end of the day, but didn't want to eat after 8. Very long day at work, get tired and hungry and want to turn to the candy jar. 7:30-6:30 is longer than I'd like to be working, and I am not done with notes at all yet. Oh well, will have plenty of time this weekend to catch up I am sure.
Changed password to positive statement.
I'm worried about the weekend, with Rich gone and being on call with not much else to do or to keep me busy/happy... will need to plan out some activities, plan my meals.

Starting anew... again... but starting all the same!
Current weight per WW 217.8
Wow, it's been over a year since I started this, and I'm not setting any consistency records yet:-). Still frustrated, still not doing as well as I'd like. Attended my first weight watchers meeting tonight, have never done this before and am decidedly underwhelmed. Should be fun to do with colleagues from work, but so far seems like a lot of money and being sold things, and a system that for me who has already taught myself how to log calories well is actually more complicated than just logging calories. But I have a feeling that the weekly weigh ins are likely to be very effective for me, and just the fact that I'm paying some significant money to do this might also help light a fire under me out of sheer stubbornness.
Plan: Go to WW meetings every week.
Track home weights every day.
Follow original plan when started blog - log calories, exercise every day, blog every day.
I can do this. I have lots of great reasons to lose weight, I miss my runner's body and the energy I had then. I want to be pregnant healthily. I want to have a long happy life free of diabetes. I am capable, intelligent, able to make good choices, and I have all the tools that I need to do this successfully.

Wednesday 12/1
Exercise: 3 mile run, 569 calories plus 40 min bike ride 321 cal
Net Calories: 1465
Weight: 220
Hacker's Weight:(still normalizing)
Great run this morning, then off for haircut. I went in to work today to meet physician candidate, I also had a huge amount of work left to do from yesterday. I really didn't want to go in in the end, and afterwards came home and largely procrastinated on doing my charting, including going a little overboard with peppermint patties and pita bread and TV. Veg out. Made up for it later with extra bike ride in evening, landed right on net calorie goal by bedtime.

Starting Over
Wow, it's hard to believe that the last time I posted here was back in July. It's been a somewhat tumultuous road since then, and I'm now on the other side of a move, three months in to my new job/career/life, a month and a half of living without my husband (at least not in the same house while we looked for a job for him). Unfortunately, all that added up to major loss of momentum in the weight loss department, and here I am more than ten pounds heavier than at the start of this project. Pretty discouraging, but also an opportunity.
I feel newly energized to tackle this again, make it my biggest priority, and work to get to my goal. Things are poised for this to be a good time to be working on this - we're back happily under one roof, both employed, and with a fairly stable lifestyle emerging with routines and some predictability. My job has settled down, so I'm not feeling like I'm just fighting for survival all the time, and while I'm still working too many hours, it's getting more manageable. And I really do want to be pregnant, and with a healthy pregnancy. Rich had a hard time sleeping the other night and told me later it was largely because he was worried about me and my health. He's such a help in working on this, clearly concerned and supportive and wanting to do whatever he can to help me in the struggle. And he also said the other day that we needed to work on this because he wants to have a baby soon. I'm not sure why, but both of those interactions were very compelling for me, and have lit a fire under me. Three days in and doing well, though still with a lot of work ahead of me.

Tuesday July 27th
Exercise: 6 mile run (900 calories)
Weight: 212.5
Hacker's weight: 211.2
Net Calories:
Our weekend at Falcon Ridge was great, and I didn't feel like I went too nuts with food either (although sitting around listening to folk music didn't make for much exercise, next year I hope to hit the dance tent a lot). The scale thought I had lost about 4 pounds over the weekend, seems questionable and if actually true is probably all via sweat!
Beautiful day today, went out for the first run I've done in quite a while, pushing it a bit to do six miles, but it was great. Unfortunately I succumbed to an oddly persistent hunger in the afternoon, and will end the day without making my goal. Frustrated by eating today, despite feeling great. Mostly boredom today I think... also I knew I had some leeway from my run.
