I need to get back on track with healthier eating.  I exercised today for the first time since I broke my foot.  Just a few minutes on the exercise bike.  I got really winded and might have had the beginnings of an exercised induced asthma attack.  I'll need to be more careful and use my inhaler in the future.  The weigh in yesterday proved that I have been maintaining this month, no weight loss.  Life threw me some curveballs.  And there was also vacation in there too.  I'm not discouraged, just more aware what I need to do to lose weight and get healthier.

This month was nothing like last month.  More stress, vacation, illness, that kind of thing.  Not making the best food choices and still not exercising.  Next month I will do better!  I am hoping Saturday posts a loss not a gain over February, but I'm not expecting more than that.  Next month I will do better!

I was close to buying a scale today, but no dice.  Why am I so resistant to getting a scale?  Perhaps because I'm afraid I'll be fixated on the numbers?  I really don't think I would weigh myself more than once a week though.  I think I look forward to weighing myself every other week more than I would if I could weigh myself whenever I wanted.  I did a really poor job of tracking my food intake this week.  I don't feel like I have a good idea how well I did this week.  Oh well.  I'll know what the scale says on Tuesday.

I'm a day later than normal with my blog post.  I think I have an excuse, I was on a plane or in an airport most of the day yesterday.  Had a wonderful time in Jamaica.  I haven't stepped on a scale and likely won't until next Tuesday, unless I finally buy a scale.  I think I did okay with my food choices and quantity while I was there.  Despite the all you can eat and drink nature of the trip, I only ate when hungry.  This past week, I received blessing from the doctor to go back to wearing normal shoes.  He said it would still be 3-4 weeks before my toe is completely healed, but he is happy with the progress.  Some day, I will need to get on the exercise bandwagon.  For now, I am enjoying that I feel better and my clothes fit better.

This week has been a really long week!  I leave for Jamaica in three days and I really need to pack.  Eating well this week has been a challenge and certainly not a priority.  While in Jamaica, that will be even less of a priority.  I will have a couple of weeks after I return and before the weigh in to whip myself into shape.  Wish me luck
