THE NEW ME

Well, now I'm getting worried. Weighed in this morning at 174!!!!!, another two pounds gone. This should not be happening. I only trooped down the Prairie Path twice in the six days since I weighed (have decided to go with the 5th, 10, 15th of the month, etc.), and have had a real bad problem with Ruffles Potato Chips. Granted they are the lower fat version, but I know now that I simply cannot have them in the house, and will not rest til they are gone. Last nite, I sat and watched episode two of "Star Wars", which I had never seen, and consumed just a ton of those chips. Which I have been doing every nite I'm not out. How can I have lost another two pounds in six days, especially with all the salt? It's unreal.

Will walk today, but that will be it til probably Tuesday (today's Thursday). Might get a walk around a cemetery on Monday, but the weekend will be spent at Navy Pier at SOFA, a sculpture and functional art show, with many lectures that I plan on attending, which means sitting.

I went to eight movies in the past two weeks too, more sitting. So what's going on? But I have come to realize that there is food for the body, and food for the soul, and movies, and art, and all things cultural I cannot live without. (I had not been to a flic in two months.) Exercise does get in the way of these things, as I probably consume 1 1/2 hours on it when I do do it. That's a big chunk out of my day. But I am so looking forward to this weekend. Exercise be damned.

Still no wine or sugar. Maybe that's the difference. I don't know, but I don't see how this can continue. I look in the mirror and see no difference, but my clothes tell me otherwise. I don't feel any different either.

I will bet money that on November 10th, I will have gained weight.

96 days down.
