And the score is?

Yesterday I went on an hour and a half walk. Good.
And an hour hike. Good.
But I ate half a pint of ben and jerry's. REALLY FREAKING BAD.


Today I had a job interview. Good.
And I went on an hour long walk. Good.
And I went bathing suit shopping at Title 9, and I wear a medium. Pretty damn good.
But I can't afford a bathing suit there. Bad.

So...maybe it evens out?

Swimming in the morning

Oh, how it miss it!

I'm also cheap.

I've been sitting here considering the cost/benefits of buying membership at the YMCA so that I may swim at 6am again. Would paying for it make me want to do it more? Will it be worth it just to swim? I am so used to being a college student who doesn't have to directly pay for any of the services I use.

Or should I just try to do something else in the morning?

Toot toot!

Okay. After seeing everyone's enthusiastic posts, I booked myself a tennis match. The courts were full. I drove all around town, but either no parking or full or something else. So I went to chili's with my brother and his girlfriend. I was out at night. Tonight I ate a huge buffet dinner at facebook...

not good!

I considered running last night around this time, but decided against the midnight run. Anyone do it before? Do you think it's dangerous?

Okay, so I'm not exactly on track, but I do have plans to be more on track, 6 days of exercise. I have been tracking my food, its not looking good, but I do have somewhere to work from. I think maybe if we thought about working out a little more like Peter does, a scheduled dedicated time, I'd have more success. So...

I'm swimming on Thursday. Tennis booked on each weekend. Friday... maybe an afterwork swim or run? I'll report back on success rates.

Who would have guessed?

Today I weighed myself for the first time in a month, and it turns out I've been losing weight! This doesn't make any sense to me, especially considering I ate an entire box of chocolate bon bons last night, but oh well!

I've officially dropped all of my winter weight. Score!

All aboard the failutions train! (sorry)

Today I went on a walk for an hour and a half with the puppies.

I also wrote some stuff/crap for my creative writing class. Not book-related stuff, but it's important to get back into the swing of things.

I aced a phone interview, and they scheduled me to come to the office later this week.

No updates on the volunteering, but I've got it on my radar.

We've talked about swimming, so tomorrow I'm going to dig up my bathing suit and goggles.

Failutions, back on track!

So today I overslept. I felt bad, because I was determined to go to the gym in the morning. So I dragged myself to the gym around 8:30 tonight and stayed for about an hour.

I also started tracking my caloric intake again on livestrong.com. Very productive.

I also did quite a bit of work today, and was really nice to my online friends.

Tomorrow night I have already scheduled time to practice the guitar before LOST.

I'm full of pep!

Hmmm

I've stagnated. It's been over a month, and I'm not losing weight, haven't found a job or a volunteer position, have only written a sentence of my book, and I wore sweatpants on the train yesterday.

I'm going to call an emergency meeting.

Need some pep talk.

Today I stayed in bed all day and watched Emma and it was fantastic.
