I'm
still hovering around that 195
plateau, kicking a pound over the edge at 194,
then stepping back to 196 or 7.
The
cold weather doesn't help. Gina and I got a nice walk in light rain
yesterday morning, just before winter blew it again, but now it's
snowing and 10 degrees outside and I just want to sit by a
fire and be cozy.
This
is the time of year when discipline at the grocery store is also most
important. Stuck inside, you'll have a much stronger urge to snack,
and lot more time to do it, so those extra few minutes dodging the
potato chip isle at the store will save your ass.
If
it's not in the house, you can't eat it, and in this
weather, you'll be less tempted to run out and get it.
The
toughest part in this weather is staying active. Curled up on the
couch with a good book has never been a big priority with exercise
programs, and being self-employed most of my life, though great,
usually means I have the final say about what I do, so spending cold
winter days in the studio, or at a cozy diner has been an
occupational hazard, and kept my exercise to a minimum.
This
was fine when I was 20, but now it's a major drawback, making
it harder every year to keep the pounds off.
So
whether I like it or not, it's time to bundle up and head downtown
for coffee, just to get some walking in for the day.
1
bite at a time, and 1 day at a time!
