boasting & more

I don't know if this sort of thing happens to you, meaning, starting something and then letting it slip to the back burner? Like I started this blog and then felt, overwhelmingly, that what's the point, why should people ever, ever want to read what's happening in an average person's totally average life? This thought so took hold of me that I abandoned updating my blog completely. So how come I'm at it again? I think it's to do with cutting down on grains. No, no I'm not completely crazy. There is a connect. It's the 12th day running where I have tried to go back to optimum eating and exercise, and succeeded to a large extent. This for me, bascially means reducing my rice intake. I've also gone back to the multivitamins and calcium that I know I must take, given my advanced years. Also, every single evening, I have walked for 30 minutes --- pushing it up to 45 minutes on a couple of days. As a result of all this, I have dropped 1.4 kg in 11 days and am feeling better. And so it's a matter of boasting that's brought me back to the blog: I've just been too good. Of course, it's a long, 'starving' road ahead. Still. I'm hoping to cut 6 kg by September end. Then I will buy some fitted clothes, no longer hold my tummy back during all public interaction and generally go out and meet new people who will all go away thinking, Wow, she looks good (even if they add, for her age, as ps in their minds). What I hate most about this 'good' lifestyle is the adding of yoghurt (vile) and vegetables (more vile) and movement (even more vile) into my daily life. But am doing it. So far, so good. Am also trying to work on my mind by trying to think positive. Maybe, that's a bit overstated. More accurate to say, am trying to not let the day to day heebie-jeebies get me down. Trying to get a bit of that duck's back so can shrug off murky, disturbing waters. Do send me your stories on battling weight and negativity... Till next time.
