baronessekatSince January 5, I've been participating in a Biggest Loser contest amongst my friends on FB.
I have not been overly gung-ho about it. I mean, I haven't been to a gym since July when Blast closed the pool and I cancelled my membership.
But since signing up for the contest, I've dropped 13 lbs. and am back under the 200 mark.
I've mostly just been trying to be good about my caloric intake. Which has been tough. Co-workers who bring in treats - which often I can ignore. But, if I have a weakness in regards to food, it's sushi. I can easily blow my entire day's worth of calories at one meal of sushi.
Today is Fat Tuesday and people brought in paczkis. I was good and only had one. But it's going to be light calorie meals for the rest of the day to make up for it.
Even though I am not catholic, every year I try to use the Lenten holiday to do something to help improve myself. I think I will try to roll in getting my weight and health better. I'm going to not go for sushi during this time, and if I do, NOT get my usual order but instead go for something smaller in proportion. I'm going to try to stop using the elevator at work and take the stares. Come on Ekat, it's one stupid flight, you can do it. And starting tomorrow I'm going to try to go to the gym at work at least twice a week.
Little things, but it's something. And something is better than nothing, right?
