Here is today's confession: I am a wimp. I do not like pain. That old thing, "no pain no gain" - fuggetaboutit. So, I am doing the weight lifting, but I get a little sore the next day (It's working!) and not incapacitated - nothing that I need painkillers for. I take enough ibuprufen for migraines - I'd rather not take any for something I can avoid, like burning muscles on purpose. I figure I want to do something 3 times a week that I can get into for every week of the rest of my life.
I don't really like to sweat. I like weight watchers because they say: you can eat anything! So, I am working on making this lifestyle change as painless as possible. I cheat if I want to and I don't feel too bad. I kind of get annoyed when my weight goes back up! But I am not killing myself trying to get down lower, I try adjusting a little here, add a veggie there. Skip that second night of ice cream! Ok, that pinches a bit.
Well, I find that this penny thing keeps my mind off food and is so painless - no planning or cooking or anything. I get hungry and I check my pocket for the points I have left, and then I go and get some food that will use up a reasonable number. I changed 5 pennies so now I have a nickel and 16 pennies - that way I know I have dinner points set aside in that nickel. No weighing though because of the Scale Strike!
Anyway: I am having a colonoscopy Wednesday and I am really nervous. Everyone (and I mean everyone I have run into since Thursday) says they are not a big deal. I wish it was over already!
I also heard you don't lose weight from the colonoscopy. Blah.
Now, MomofTwoGirls is getting serious about the Scale Strike. So, I'll have to suffer through that too! Otherwise there has been mob-related threats made. Which means I don't know what! But now I have to stay true to the Scale Strike.
Transitions: older daughter goes back to school September 1. Younger daughter goes back to school September 8. Maybe we will go to the beach for Labor Day - my brother says that if we go, we all have to declare our medications before checking into the house! Some are on hormones (or not!), some on ADD meds, another taking who knows what - changes the dynamics if you know the crazy is due to the latest uppers! Something about my sister making pesto in the middle of the night prompted the "rule" - tongue-in-cheek but it may not be a totally bad idea!
I had one friend who used to adjust her own medication, unbeknownst to her doctors. Took her 6 months to get straightened out once her doctor figured it out. Anyway, full disclosure makes things easier.
I have a lot more time to think about my stuff and exercise now that I don't spend a lot of time on food. So far, it's painless!
