<p>If you all prefer, we can also just have one long thread rather than a new one each week.  Just let me know.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today's weigh in: 107</p>
<p>Starting weight: 108.6</p>
<p>Total lost: 1.6</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was surprised.  I wonder if it it'll sneak back up a bit over the week.  I was good last week, but not 4500 calories good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I tend to start each week really well, and then slowly start to let things slide by the end of the week.  I'm keeping the goals of no eating after dinner and minimal liquid calories.  I'm also adding no swiping the kids' halloween candy.</p>

<p>Yesterday was not the greatest.  Went to brunch after church, and didn't make the best choices.  I also had a headache, so only ran one mile.  Today will be better.  Mr jebba has been working hard at making healthy dinners.  Last night was homemade whole wheat pizza and carrot soup.</p>

<p>Will run, fantastic job on the weight loss!  As far as exercise without a gym, I know hulu has some exercise shows that stream free.  Some are really bad, so you have to search.  Also, if you had something you could use as a step, you could do step repeats while reading or watching t.v.</p>

<p>That happens to me!  The only benefit to weighing every day and seeing the arbitrary gains is that it sometimes scares me enough to  be super careful. </p>

<p>Willrun, you are inspiring.</p>

<p>RAinNH: yes!  I have a <em>terrible</em> time with snacking after dinner.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think part of my issue is that I am already at a reasonably healthy weight.  The rest is aesthetics and running performance.  So when I want to cheat, I hear this voice in my head that says, "You're already healthy, so why push so hard?"  And I am reluctant to mention my goals to my friends and coworkers, because I'm paranoid they'll think I am a fanatic, or that my priorities are out of whack.</p>

<p>We live in such a weird society where emphasize health in our discourse and yet undermine it in our cultural practices.</p>

<p>I have been kicking butt in the exercise department.  Fairly decent in the eating department, but could clean it up a bit more.  Not so good on the no liquid calories front.  I'm used to glass of wine (or two) in the evenings.  I need to find an alternate way to unwind.</p>

<p>I have a feeling this week won't be good.  I fear I may have to start actually tracking calories.  I hate tracking.</p>

<p>Yeah, this week was not so good.  I went out with frinds for lunch twice, and mr jebba brought home a pizza last night.  I think will go ahead and track for at least a week to try to get myself back on the rails.  Exercise has been great.  Calories, not so much.</p>
