Well I’m smacking myself. This is a diet diary not a bitch about my life diary, that’s over on another file. Ok so I weighed Saturday and I’m down from 261 something to 260 something so starting in the morning I’m going to be exercising when I get up and showering after and I’m also going to begin cold resumes to law offices around town to see if I can maybe land a local job. I hate to go to work for another attorney but they can’t ALL be as bad as Joe, can they? I know I promised morning exercise before and I really meant it then too but, I’m re-ready to make a commitment and I know I could be doing so much better if I just WOULD, so I’m going to kick it in again. To pat myself on the back, for as long as I’ve been off program I’ve only gained 6 pounds, it could have been a whole lot worse. I simply cannot exercise after work, I’m too anxious, frustrated, angry and tired to get anything done. Besides I need SOME quiet time for me that involves nothing more complicated than Facebook, Twitter and television.

So here I go, again. I STILL have a 70 pound goal, it’s not too late or impossible to accomplish. As close as I can get is that much closer. And if I don’t start now, when? So no more musing on it now’s the time to get it DONE.

That comes with the territory, especially when all that stress

causes you to go off your healthy diet and exercise plan.

Congrats. I'm hovering between 262 - 264 again. (sigh)

So you really *are* now officially laid off, jobless? I thought you

were a few weeks ago then you posted about a day at the office and I

thought he may have had a change of heart.

Hopefully not! LOL  I *have* met some *nice* lawyers over the years,

more than not-nice ones.

Back when I worked out of the house I was the same way. After 8 or

more hours on a busy hospital unit, running miles back and forth

down the halls, the last thing I wanted to do was jump around some

*more*! Many of the working people I know who were seriously into

their exercise promises always used their lunch break to exercise

and eat lunch at their desks later. That's something else I could

never do, since most days I wouldn't even get my 20 minute lunch

break we would be so short-handed. And the days that I *did* all I

wanted to do was get *off* my poor tired feet!

Are you still using the food plan sent you a few years back?

If so, what calorie level? I think the FoodMover instructions say

1600 for our weight but I *know* I gain at that and have to go

closer to 1000 to lose anything.

who is still eating more than those 1000 calories

Well, nothing new on the job front, exercise is going, I can't really say WELL ... I'm exercising but I hate it. But I'm doing it that's the main thing. I do it and get it over with and don't think about it till the next day. Bout all I can do. I have lost 1.6 pounds though since Saturday. That's a definate plus.*~*~*~*"If I look down the road and see how far I have to go, I may get discouraged. If I overthink every aspect of
