Obesity and Me

I’m finally back online and able to post again, so I’ll be starting again in the next several days as I catch up with things. What amazes me most while I’ve been offline is the volume of spam posts there have been to the blog. So many attempts to get something posted! All of the attempts were so obvious, yet they keep coming in. I sometimes wonder why, but I’m sure I know. It doesn’t require any effort. Adding one posting address to a list and everything else is automatic. What a waste.

More importantly, I’ve gotten back in harness, lost some weight I picked up over the holidays, and I’m back to losing again.

We’re in the process of packing and moving right now (I expect to actually move in about a week), so while I’ll try to post some updates during that time, problems with Internet access and such will likely cause difficulty getting online. I’ll be picking up again for sure once we’re settled in our new location.

I found out just how dependent I am on my scale to track my progress. I went to measure myself and the scale blinked and turned off. The batteries are too low to handle it. What’s worse, they’re the flat batteries, not the more common AA or AAA, so I need to get down to Radio Shack to get replacements.

Not having my scale has caused me to think about how important tracking is to me. Not daily, but I’ve been measuring myself weekly, watching the ups and downs. I feel lost not being able to get a measurement today. I guess I better get in the car and go get the batteries!

This is a start, but I don’t know what I’m going to do with it … let’s see where it goes
