Yesterday was the last day of my self-imposed Lent. However, since my stupid stupid weight is up a pound (I suspect general weight fluxuations rather than actual weight gain here, but it’s still depressing) and I have not yet lost 10 pounds, I am not going back on sugar. Actually, I’m pretty much not planning to until I weigh 140, but I’m trying not to think about that because 40 pounds is a lot to lose. Thinking about it in 2 pound increments is less depressing. Sort of. Anyway, still aiming for 178 by T-day.
It’s snowing. Hopefully that will make it less, and not more, slippery for the walkings.
I have taken to doing a half hour of weight lifting/situp sorts of things in the living room in the morning, as I don’t seem to be going to the gym. I’ve got 10lb dumbbells (one of which I clonked my knee with this morning, ow) for the upper body stuff and I’m doing barre exercises for the lower body stuff. My oh my but elevé plié relevé and down works the old thights but good. I’m just doing those and points, because I do not wish to bugger up my back and I’m trying to rebuild strength rather than test my (weenie) limits. Still, it’s enough to make my legs all woobly.

I’ve been making one of my yoga classes do all sorts of fun things like attempting to balance the balls of two feet, and then one foot. it’s hard. :)
did you know that praveen has lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 pounds since our wedding? he had lost about 60 when we saw him a year ago. he did it mainly by obsessing about his diet :) he said he was doing a low carb diet but it’s kind of hard for a strict vegetarian to do that, so he really didn’t. I think it was mostly stopping eating taco bell food that did it for him. :)
