Year 2, Day 77: Detecto Says "185"— Again

Though Donna, the friendly nurse insisted it was "183-ish" and reminded me that I should subtract a pound for clothes. I can honestly say my clothes probably weigh a pound, but I've never really subtracted for them, so unless I'm desperate, or about to start lying to you readers, I can say that it was 185. That's a relief. I can live with that. I need to live with that. It's good to be back.

Now that I'm back to my Year 2 success weight, I suppose I can see how I went astray. I started adding just way too much stuff back too often and in volumes that were too big. I was having about four or five bananas a week on top of all that cereal, and bread. I was having soy milk in my coffee and nearly every day I was having a plain yogurt with peanut butter. And every day I was having more peanut butter. Longtime readers know that my goal is to both get into the 170s and to add more regular exercise to my regimen. It took me nearly 14 years to get so far out of shape that I feared for my life, and just a year to get into the best shape of my life. My sign is Cancer, which means I move sideways, slowly. I need to do things deliberately if they are to last, so in terms of this whole healthy lifestyle thing, I'm just getting warmed up. Unless we go to war with another country (I won't name any). If that happens, I'm buying up the cookie dough. Until then, it's vive la celery!
