242.2

Yes folks, 242.2

That was the lovely number on the scale this morning. Don't trip though, 'cause I'm not.

I'm well aware that the number went up from last week to this. And I'll tell you, this is the story of my life. Weight loss has always been an uphill battle for me and probably will be for the rest of my life. Some women are just natural destined to be thin regardless of what they eat or how much (or little) they excercise. This is not the case for me.

Contrary to what YOU may be thinking, I don't stuff my face with cookies, candy, ice cream, and fattening fried foods. Nope if you and I dined together, you'd see that my diet is quite healthy. As a matter fact, this past week I didn't have any of the above, nor any meat, yet...the weight went up.

Not that I'm one for excuses, because I'm not, but there are three factors that I am sure have contributed to the gain.

1. Hormonal changes (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about)
2. My sedentary job (yes, I'm a "cubee" surrounded by cloth covered gray walls 8 hours a day. Only gettin up to go pee and maybe take a 30 minute lunch break. Most days though, lunch is right there at that desk)
3. Lack of physical activity. By the time I get home from work each night it's usually already 7 or 8 o'clock. Some days, later. And the emotional drain from my job leaves me with absolutely NO energy to do anything except "decompress" to get the day's happenings off of me.

So, with all that said, what will I do to ensure that the number goes down by next Saturday? Don't really know.

Guess you'll just have to tune in next Saturday to see what happens.

Let the DIALOGUE begin! Is your job making you fat?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
