I am horrified. I have been in the US a little over a week and of course I have been eating Christmas cookies but I eat a ton of sweets anyway so it shouldn't make that much difference, My brother (who has lost 70 pounds) got a scale for christmas and I was horrified when I got on it. I thought maybe it was calibrated differently from my one at home, but today I got on the scale at my sister's. It agreed with my brother's scale. I usually weigh completely naked and I had clothes and shoes on when I weighed and it said NINE pounds!!! so it is probably 7 once I take my clothes off. SEVEN pounds in a little over a week??????????? no way!!! I have a week left in the US and I want to curb the damage! I haven't had sweets today so that is a good start!
This summer I left India for 7 weeks ( 2 weeks in US, 4 weeks at grad school in Ireland, and 1 week in London) I went to all my favorite restaruants in the US, ate a ton of chocolate stress eating at grad school and ate like a tourist in London and after all that gained only 4 pounds! but it was summer so I walked a lot. I like to exercise and obviously it helps.
I look at Christmas pictures and I am dumpy and heavy and this has got to stop. i know I have been doing this blog for about 10 months and haven't seen much success but I am hoping to hit the year mark with a change. I will be 40 in July and I just can't live like this - heavy and unhealthy.
I am hiking the Inca trail in June and will have to train for that. I am also "running" the Jerusalem half marathon in March. I am going to keep those goals in mind and work hard towards them. It will be easier to do those two things if I am not so heavy!
