Well, I'm jumping back in. I started Dietbet this January and had great success, winning my first three Kickstarters (go me!) But then progress slowed -- still losing, just not enough to win -- for the next few months, and the last couple months have been difficult. I dropped out here, not reading or responding to blogs; I felt overwhelmed. I've gained back five pounds -- though I think I've stopped the gaining back and have held steady. But oh, I need some more determination. I do NOT want to continue feeling big and unhealthy and sorry for myself.

SO. I have done this:

  1. scheduled workout/walk times on my Google calendar (walking out in the neighborhood if weather good, Wii at home or cardio/weights at senior center if weather is bad)
  2. entered Back to YOU with the Sisterhood! (starts September 2)
  3. entered the October 31 Virtual Race Great Pumpkin Dash put on by Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans.

I'm planning on a 5K walk, but I did print out the Sisterhood's C25K+Strength & Abs training calendar to consider. But it has jumping jacks and burpees, and I am not much of a jumper and boy do I hate burpees.

And I will check in here each week and log foodand exercise each day.
