Update

I would give my left boob for a piece of red meat.

I am craving a greasy burger/steak like mad.

I will not give in though.I had that flu for a couple of weeks and my appetite was poor, yet the scale didn't reflect any loss. I think my body had retained tons of water because I wasn't drinking enough. My rings were tight on my fingers.

I am making better choices - still taking the stairs down 20 floors each morning, and I haven't eaten out a lot. I've been to the gym twice this week. It's on the main floor of this building. It occured to me that even if the gym was IN my apartment, I could STILL talk myself out of going.

So as an update, I have lost a few pounds, but it has been painful thus far. Hopefully I will hit a stage where it's easy - but my body is apparently going through meat/grease withdrawal. My heart will thank me, yes, blah blah. I'll update you every month or so. Any more than that, and it gets boring to read (and type).

Oh one more thing...once the good weather arrives (when the hell will that be? I've already experienced 6 mths of winter..3 in Calgary, 3 here) I can get out on my bike. However, I am a fair weather cyclist.. so I refuse to ride when it's under +15 celcius.

Bring on the effen good weather, gosssshhh.

I can definitely vouch for Mer on the healthy eating beat.

We went out for dinner and a movie recently and while I had onion rings and apple pie, she had a very healthy high-protein salad. In my defense, I might have considered that option too except I'm a vegetarian and the salad (oddly) was not.

Also, at the movie Mer didn't have a snack while I stuffed my face with Hershey's kisses.

Keep up the good work, girl!

You've give away your left boob? I guess we now know which is the favourite!

Although I appreciate your comments Nicola, the reason I ate so well at dinner and the movie is because I ate a bag of chocolate easter eggs during the day...(but I did hit the gym).

Oh and last night I put an end to the grease craving. I had chicken fingers and fries at the Pickle Barrel. I should be good now for a few more weeks.
