Weight Loss

There are a LOT of blog topics swimming around in my head. I overthink things - and as a result don't do them. I've spent months thinking blogging about weight loss, including video and pictures and blah blah friggin' blah that I don't write or video or do anything.

Worse - I spend so much time and energy thinking about losing weight, eating better and exercising more. I spend so much time **thinking**, and no time DOING. If I spent 1/2 that energy actually DOING something healthy and productive I would ACTUALLY lose weight, AND THEN I would weigh less than I do now.

(This thinking rather than doing issue is pervasive in my life. We'll get to that eventually. Maybe. Stay tuned. I might just think about it. Or, I might do something. We'll see.)

Example - I do approximately as poor a job on my own blog (craftygreenmom) as I do here at Mommy Magic (seriously, Mary Susan, I do) - so you can go see two examples of my delcarations of seriousness with ZERO action here and here. (I REALLY want to just delete those posts, but I'd be lying and the interwebs would know, and bad things would happen.)

I don't actually know precisely how much I weigh right now, I think about 186. I was not going to blog until I had taken my first morning weight tomorrow, but that was just another excuse NOT to do something instead of a reason to DO something.

So, today I am doing - DID, something. There I am!!! :-) Up there, on the left. Weight Watchers told me to take a "before" picture, so I did. I think you can see the largeish spare tire I'm carrying around there in the middle. There is at least one extra chin lurking in there, and those are size 14 (Size 42 Jag) jeans, and they are NOT TOO BIG. I am ROCKING the MJ-esqe pleather jacket I got on super sale at Nordstom though! (He-HE!) I can't presently zip it, and while I might never really want to do that - I would like to be ABLE TO.

I will also take this opportunity to point out that orange and pink beauty around my neck. That's "Orangie" a super-simple knit cowl made in all cotton which I was FORCED to wear today because it's FREEZING here. (FREEZING, I tell you! It was 53 degrees F this morning when I left the house! We almost stayed home. Holy cow.) You should note that one thing I don't have trouble DOING is KNITTING. But, I digress...

Back to weight loss and more doing ... I heart me some coffee. And, I heart it more with lots o' cream and Splenda. Hold just a moment please... [insert pause here]

... In the spirit of DOING, I just trotted on over to Weight Watchers and tracked my breakfast and lunch and coffee with loads of creamer and the almost fully consumed large bottle of water. There! Ha! Doing!

Instead of NOT tracking because I didn't precisely measure every drop of creamer and because I didn't know EXACLY how many points are in my breakfast casserole - I guessed and tracked. I think that's better than not doing it.

There, I did something. Several things. I tracked my food, ate healthy, drank some water, wrote a blog - WITH PICTURES - ALL BEFORE NOON. I think it's time for a nap.
