Fat, fat, fat. It finally got warm enough for me to put my summer clothes on. They are more shaped and light-coloured than my winter clothes and it just seemed so hopeless that every year they look the same on me and I feel like my rolls of fat are so obvious. So I gave up. And now it is too late for this summer as it is every year.
But I'll keep trying for now and see how it goes.
So for my Summer Slimmin' Check-In my 0.3 kg loss during the last two weeks enlarged my stomach by 1 cm.
Today's Question: Does it bother you more to be overweight in the summer than the winter?

AWOLL
Awoll: A week of living lethargically
Well last week didn't go very well. Kept up watching my water but didn't do much else. I didn't even read any blogs so I have some reading to catch up on. Life happens and I'm not worried about it! Will take last weeks goals as new ones for this week. I was surprised that my waist stayed the same even though I gained 1.2 kgs! So my check-in for the Summer Slimmin' Challenge will show a gain.
Today's question: How do you pull yourself out of a funk?

Week 2 Check-In
I commented on someone's blog recently that it is difficult to focus on two or more stressful events at one time, like weight loss and something else, and I just realized that I should have listened to myself! I've been eating so much. Often as soon as I finish eating something I'm looking around for the next thing to eat. And then I often eat it. Good thing that there isn't that much bad to eat around here. As I haven't been able to get to bed before 1, I'm dropping that goal for now.
It's only been a few weeks since my only child moved out. He was home last week and I went to see him off at the train station. I haven't done that before. It was hard not to cry as I watched the train pull out. Since then I've been eating. Well I went straight from the train station to the store and bought some ice cream. That was totally emotional eating! So I decided that for now I'm not going to worry at all about what I eat and just concentrate on working on the other goals I have. There's enough of them.
Next week's goals are:
- no eating after 23.00 (unless I'm hungry)
- eat at the kitchen table
- add an upper and lower stretch to the routines
A few years ago I cut out eating after my evening snack. It took almost five months before eating after the evening snack didn't pop in my mind or I didn't think ahead of time that what was there to eat later. Over the past year I've gone back to the extra eating and I want to stop! I forgot to tell about my first week of not eating after midnight. Nervous that I would get hungry later, I would eat something just before the deadline even if I didn't feel like I needed to eat anything. This past week went much better. I didn't eat out of fear.
So my Summer Slimmin' Challenge goal of not gaining weight didn't happen this week. I gained. 0.3 kg. But my other goal of drinking more water was a great success. But when does having to go to the bathroom so often stop though! Yesterday though wasn't very warm and it wasn't until evening when I realized that I hadn't drank anything since early afternoon but then I drank a lot to make up for it.
Today's question: How do you remember to drink your water?

Summer Challenge
I came across an interesting challenge at Summer Slimmin' that is from June 6th to August 6th. There are several categories to choose from and at first I was going to wimp out and just go and read how the other bloggers were doing. After giving my self a talking to, I chose two badges (even though I know I should also work on 5 fruits and vegetables a day).
Though my aim is not to loose weight yet I don't want to gain any. So even if I just loose a few grams, that will be enough for me until I start working on portions, etc.
The second one is drinking more water. I don't drink coffee, seldom drink tea unless I'm a guest or have guests and I'm not a big juice, milk or soft drink drinker. So I should drink more anyway. As water is my drink of choice it sometimes gets really boring. This might be a struggle.
