Weigh-Day Results
I have stopped trying to add flashy titles and pics. I am just trying to get back into posting on a regular basis. For some reason it is too hard to take 10 minutes out of my day to devote to writing at least a small post to let you all know how things are going. Well today, I decided to make myself do it. I know you feel blessed to be able to read my posts…I am all too flattered 
We shall start off with the results of the past week weigh in. I will post a pic below of the scale shot so you know the statement to be true. Last week I was at 362 and this week it is 359. I have dropped 3 pounds last week WAHOOOOOOO! This is definitely the trend I want to continue. Please see pic below.
I am trying to eat better as the last month has seen me rampaging through all types of food at an incredible pace. I was a superhero of mastication and a force of culinary destruction to be sure. Now I seem to have it under control for the time being, I have been able to level off my desire to eat anything I see before me. This was definitely my first big setback… and it was big. Negating 30% of the weight I had already lost. I was sooo close to the 100 pound mark I could taste it… and I must have because I didn’t close my mouth until everything edible (and even partially edible) had disappeared, dissipated, or just plain left the building.
I think the loss would have been more if I had been back into the gym. I can feel my body getting sluggish again and my tiredness return. It is amazing how long it took me to feel comfortable in the gym and how quickly it took my body to jump back into old habits. I would have been in the gym this week if I hadn’t fallen down the stairs in my house. That is definitely a plus about being overweight. The padding is wonderful when sliding down stairs… into a wall… in the dark night…
It is weird, because despite the pain I was in and shock, it was actually a little fun (I think). I truly believe my cat decided to sabotage my descent downstairs. He knew I was coming from the vibrations and positioned himself (apparently accidentally) on the top step. After I fell, he came to look after me, but had an evil grin on his face. I shall be looking out for that one. Wow, I am the king of tangents today.
That night left my side really bruised and my arm with burns down the side. It was also difficult for me to even lift my left arm for the past few days. Now that I have more movement, I will hit the gym and at least try to swim. I just know I have to get back into the gym. Everyday I spend asleep is another day I miss the opportunity to help myself live longer, better, and happier.
As I read over posts from my friends sites, it is apparent that this time of the year has been difficult. I send out love and wishes of a wonderful holiday season to you all. The past few months has been crazy for my family. Lots of WONDERFUL things will be happening next year, so I am excited to share them with you soon. Until then, my heart goes out to you all and I appreciate you for being here with me.

Your cat is out to get you!
Hope you are all recovered. What if you use those stairs to your advantage and get some fitness momentum going by “stair climbing” for 10 minutes every morning? That way you don’t even have to leave the house and you can start developing the workout habit again.
Not sure if any injuries prevent this, but definitely lock your cat up before you do it

We need to talk sometime soon. Or at least, I need to talk to you. I’ll see about calling sometime in the near future.

I’m glad to see you posting again and good job on the 3 pounds! Can’t imagine what it would have been if you’d been able to workout too. Sounds like you’re back on the right path!
