Day 273 - 9/30/09

Today's weigh-in: 201.2

Well, that's a bit of good news. Hopefully, it isn't all water weight (although it could be). I've been trying to be more active (run/walk with the dog in the mornings, some calisthenics at home) and trying to eat better, or at least eat a little less. I'm using Calorie Count to track my calories consumed and burned. I'm also using an iPhone app called Pocket Workout. It gives you a schedule and some no-equipment-needed exercises to do wherever you are. It's just helping me come up with some exercises to do at home while I'm just sitting around. I really need to get on this. I told myself while we were still languishing in the South that once we moved, it would be a new start and I'd hit the weight loss hard, but I've spent pretty much two whole months now not really doing anything about it. First of all, I really need to lose the weight, for health reasons. I'm about 50 lbs overweight. Second, we've got season tickets to one of the ski resorts in the area, and I need to get in shape enough to survive skiing and make the expense worthwhile. And most importantly, I've put a moratorium on shopping for clothes until I can drop some sizes. But I REALLY need to shop soon, because we've hit fall, and we're expecting some possible snowfall next week. I have only one pair of jeans to my name, and I need some winter clothes.

I've subbed once so far and survived it. I'm still getting set up with some of the school districts, but I'm set up with three. So hopefully I'll get some more days, and get some more money. Since we're in the midst of loan processing for the house, we can use all the money we can get.
