Getting back into the game...

[midnight armadillo]

...Oy, I've let myself get out of shape. I exercised faithfully all summer, then ran short of time at work (I work out at lunch) and fell off the wagon. It didn't help that my waistline didn't budge a bit, that dampens ye ole motivation, you know?

So, once my vacation is done I will be back. I finally have a handle on my eating habits and have at last realized where I always go wrong: once I get home I make up for lower calories at work. It's that simple and, well, emotional and stree eating is my downfall. At last, I have accepted that I cannot exercise the lbs away, I must be dedicated to lesser eating as well.

I will be tossing around a sandbag filled with 80 lbs of aquarium gravel in a week, with greater discipline and a food log. This will either help me trim some pounds or kill me in the process:

1. Welcome back!

You must not be in too bad of shape if you're tossing 80 pounds around!!

Everyone's different, but I try to consume the greater number of my calories early in the day. When I really want to blast the pounds off, I don't eat anything past 5:00 at night -- kind of hard, cuz I get off at 5:00, so usually I have a little snack at work right before I go home. If I go to bed very hungry, the pounds just fall off of me.
